New article from me and @jessicaxvela: five immediate effects of a March 2 partial shutdown. americanprogress.org/article/5-imme…
The @washingtonpost @PostGuild walkout is ON! Journalists have been fighting for a fair contract for 18 months. Don't cross the picket line—no engaging with any Post content today, including print, digital, recipes & more!
New from me and @jessicaxvela: 5 Immediate Shutdown Effects americanprogress.org/article/5-imme…
Here’s my stab at explaining how a shutdown works. It explains why it’s so complicated & gives examples of things that are protected during a shutdown, things that aren’t, & things that have some breathing room but become at risk if a shutdown persists. americanprogress.org/article/what-h…
eras tour bidenomics 🤝🏻 growing economies everywhere
Jobs Day, but make it zeitgeist:
My first report from @amprog is out! It's why I think fair analysis would say debt/GDP is rising due to tax cuts and NOT spending. First, the big (and true) claim: without the Bush tax cuts, their extensions, & Trump tax cuts, debt/GDP would be declining. americanprogress.org/article/tax-cu…
Happy #InternationalWomensDay. When women thrive, our families, communities, and economy thrive. Today should be a celebration of progress, but also a reminder of how much more work must be done to ensure every girl and woman can build the life she wants. (1/6)
Thread: House Republican budget priorities are coming into sharper focus: tax cuts for the wealthy and austerity for everyone else. It is a tired recipe that doesn’t build a strong economy for everyone.
BREAKING: 517,000 new jobs last month and 12.1 MILLION total under Biden! You’re more likely to find a job under a Democratic president than a Republican president—especially right now.
WOW: U.S. employers added a whopping 517,000 jobs in January. The unemployment rate fell to 3.4%, the lowest since 1969. Data: bls.gov/news.release/e… Full coverage: nytimes.com/live/2023/02/0…
.@POTUS and Democrats are building a bridge to a stronger economy.
Democrats deliver jobs. MAGA Republicans deliver deadly mobs.
A 🧵with several observations on the @WaysMeansCmte release of Trump tax info. First, any meddling by Trump, or people who worked for him, that may have delayed or soft balled the required presidential audit should be thoroughly investigated, and if appropriate, prosecuted.
After taking Step 1 in the #InflationReductionAct, Congress needs to take a key Step 2 now in the year-end Omni bill to deliver an IRS that honest taxpayers deserve: one that answers the phone, provides timely refunds & collects taxes legally owed: cbpp.org/research/feder…
It’s #LatinaEqualPayDay. In 2021, Latinas working full-time, year-round typically earned just 57 cents for every dollar that their white, non-Hispanic male counterparts earned and all Latinas working typically earned just 54 cents for every dollar white, non-Hispanic men earned.
BREAKING: 263,000 new jobs in November, and hourly wages continue to rise. Democrats' historic economic recovery just keeps going.
It’s #NativeWomensEqualPay–the day when Native women working last year will have earned the same amount that white, non-Hispanic men made at the end of 2021.
The best chance the Fed has of maximizing employment through time is being firm and resolute and realistic about inflation. @CNNSitRoom @wolfblitzer m.youtube.com/watch?v=GI_vQK…
The pace and magnitude of the jobs recovery has been strong and broad-based and minimizes the risk of the long-term harm that followed the Great Recession americanprogress.org/article/the-sw…

1. They already successfully got that. Under threat of default, House Rs successfully negotiated spending cuts. But then, within a week of passage, House Rs decided they wanted even more cuts. They’ve been trying to figure out additional leverage since then to force more cuts.
Freedom Caucus members now gaggling with reporters, say they’re done with these fiscal 2024 funding bills. They’re demanding a real plan to cut spending when they return from recess. I’d say the last five GOP funding bills are officially dead.
