Donald Trump’s policies have made life harder for hardworking American families. Reckless tariffs and an unauthorized war in Iran have driven up costs and uncertainty when families need affordability and stability more than anything.

I worked with leaders on both sides of the river as Secretary of Transportation to help get funding for the Brent Spence Bridge Project across the finish line. For about 20 years, people only talked about making something happen - now, we actually are.

President Trump promised to bring down the cost of living. Instead, his affordability crisis has cost American families over $4,200 more in everyday essentials since Trump took office, according to @jecdems.bsky.social data. The American people deserve better.

It's National Voter Registration Day! Make sure your voice is heard in November: ✅Confirm your registration status. ✅Identify your local polling station. ✅Vote early, or drop off your ballot at a physical drop box. ✅Contact your local board of elections with any questions.

That's a big kick in the guts. Payrolls is much weaker, and the U.S. lost -23k jobs in March, well below expectations of +80k. Huge downward revisions, too: May now +63k (instead of +129k), June now +20k (down from +53k). Very bad news. Revise down your views substantially.

The SAVE Act is about taking over elections to try to stay in power. It would make it harder for eligible Americans to register to vote, especially women and those in rural communities. It's voter suppression—plain and simple.
