US hiring slows and unemployment ticks higher with a month remaining before Americans head to polls
U.S. employers added a disappointing 29,000 jobs and the unemployment rate ticked up last month, according to new data, a month before voters go to the polls in pivotal midterm elections at a time of ...

Trump’s policies are hurting our economy and the American people.  Everything is getting more expensive — and instead of working to create jobs and lower costs, Trump is making things worse with his pointless wars and crushing small business with his tariffs.  We deserve better leadership.

The Iran war will have a chilling effect on your wallet this winter
Sky-high airfare, rising gas prices and soaring home heating costs are all squeezing consumers heading into the holiday season.

Rep. Emily Randall @repemilyrandall.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Trump’s war in Iran is already costing taxpayers billions — and families are going to feel the impact even more as we head into winter. Higher heating bills. Higher gas prices. Higher airfares. Trump chose to get us into this war – and now Americans are paying the price.

No one should have to worry about how — or if — they can afford healthcare. We should be working to bring down the costs and improve access to care so the quality care is available to all.

Gas prices are out of control but the president says it’s a “very inexpensive price to pay” for his war in Iran.  He campaigned on “no new wars” and chose to get us into this conflict anyway.  We should be fighting for peace and prosperity at home, not more endless wars overseas.

You deserve a President who will work to lower costs – just like Trump said he would do during his entire campaign.  But now he says affordability is a “hoax,” & starting tariff wars that are driving up costs and challenging our relationship with Canada.
