Once again, the jobs report is telling Americans what they already knew — the economy is not working for them. Trump's economic policies are crushing the American worker. Rising inflation, wage stagnation, and slow hiring make it clear that we need a different direction.

Saving for retirement is hard enough. But bad financial advisors exploit regulatory loopholes to give conflicted advice that costs workers billions every year. The Workers' Retirement Savings Protection Act would stop workers from getting ripped off when saving for retirement.

The Trump Admin claims it wants to hand education back to the states but this rule would give the already gutted Dept. of Ed MORE power over school grants, weakens protections for underserved students, & lets them cut funding for no reason at all @bobbyscott.house.gov says: "withdraw it."

Republicans have too often sided with corporate interests over working people, and that includes attacking unions, which give workers a voice in the workplace, for fighting back against Trump's anti-worker agenda. The real threats to workers are not unions, but a rigged economy.

Children can’t learn on empty stomachs. Not only did Trump’s “Big Ugly Bill” cut SNAP, but it’s also now putting access to free school meals at risk for millions of children.

The numbers are clear: Trump’s economy is not working for workers. Inflation is outpacing wages, and families are struggling while Trump rakes in record profits for himself. If you want to see the impact of Trump’s disastrous choices, compare Biden's jobs numbers to Trump's.

Trump’s early “Labor Day” gift to the workers who keep essential government services running is a functional pay cut. Freezing pay while costs rise will make it harder to recruit and retain skilled workers, and harder for Americans to get the services they rely on. www.notus.org/policy/trump...

American families are struggling to stay afloat. Now, Republicans are changing student loan terms for borrowers, raising payment amounts and extending repayment periods. Instead of relieving borrowers of the burden of student loans, they are saddling them with even more debt.

Due to Trump’s reckless economic policies, families are struggling to put food on the table. Committee Dems are committed to fighting for policies that make it easier for families to afford groceries and ensure every child can count on a healthy meal at school.

As kids head back to school, the last thing families need is the Trump Admin making it harder to keep children healthy and protected. A plan to upend the childhood vaccine schedule could mean more appointments, more burdens, and more risk for families.

President Trump is trying to roll back protections that help keep workers safe in extreme heat. Shade, water, and rest breaks in 100-degree temperatures should not be up for debate. No one should have to risk their life to earn a paycheck.

Head Start is a lifeline for thousands of families. The program provides children with a quality education and connects families to services that lift them out of poverty, yet President Trump is aiming to gut the regulations that make it work. Families deserve better.

Dismantling the Department of Education is not about "improving bureaucracy" or "returning education to the states." It is about abdicating our responsibility to ensure all students have access to a public education.
