The US added only 151,000 jobs in February, lower than the forecast 170,000 jobs, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.1%.

Yet again, a Republican president is blowing the strong economy he inherited from a Democrat.

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor.

The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes!

This is the power of representation.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.

I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Defiantly,

VoteVets is grateful for Speaker Pelosi's leadership and for always showing up for Veterans.

Earlier this week, she met with Vets who were fired under DOGE—because she listens, she fights, and she has our backs.

We see it. We remember.
