Economy Updates: After a Weak Jobs Report, Trump Fires That Agency’s Commissioner

In Trump’s Gangster State, when the data doesn’t favor the boss, you blame the data, not the boss.

That’s authoritarianism.

Economy Updates: After a Weak Jobs Report, Trump Fires That Agency’s Commissioner

Trump’s throwing a tantrum about the bleak jobs report caused by his own imbecilic policies. He’s blaming the messenger and just fired the Commissioner of Labor Statistics responsible for compiling jobs data.

NEW: Ranking Member Raskin urges Majority Leader Thune, Minority Leader Schumer to reject the radical MAGA nominee Jeanine Pirro, who is wildly unfit to lead the U.S. Attorney’s Office for D.C., prioritizing her blind loyalty to Trump over the Constitution.

🚨Watch RM @raskin.house.gov break down why Trump’s Gangster State enforcer Emil Bove is “utterly unqualified” for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench:

Ranking Member Raskin sent a letter to Chairman Jordan last week demanding a public hearing on the Jeffrey Epstein sex abuse ring and a subpoena for Attorney General Bondi and FBI Director Patel.

The American people want complete answers. Come on Judiciary GOP, let’s get this done.

RELEASE THE FILES.

House Democrats Call for Hearing on Epstein, Capitalizing on G.O.P. Rift

Release the Epstein files now. May every day reveal another one of Trump's "wonderful secrets" with Jeffrey Epstein.

House Democrats Call for Hearing on Epstein, Capitalizing on G.O.P. Rift

Trump and his allies spent years promoting conspiracy theories about Epstein and promising transparency with the files if elected again. Now that he controls the DOJ and the FBI, Trump is doing the opposite—burying the truth. WHY? The American people want answers.

Why is Trump protecting people who may have participated in abusing their power to abuse underage girls? Release the damn files.

As Republicans call for transparency into Epstein probe, Trump lashes out In a post to Truth Social on Wednesday morning, Trump railed against Democrats, and some of his own supporters, calling the furor over the Epstein case a "hoax."

The Trump Administration made Epstein conspiracies central to their political brand. Now that Trump controls the government, he’s not so eager to release the Epstein files.

Trump blasts 'stupid' and 'foolish' Republicans amid calls to reveal more Epstein files President Donald Trump continued Wednesday to dismiss calls within his own party for more transparency into the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

Donald Trump once promised transparency on the Epstein files. Now he’s calling his own supporters “stupid” and “weaklings” simply for demanding the truth he once demanded. What’s he so desperately hiding?
America wants the truth. Release the damn files.

For years, Republicans demanded that the Epstein files be released. Now that they control DOJ and FBI, they want to sweep it under the rug.
RM Raskin calls out the cover-up. Release the files.

But, what do you know, he wants a lifetime seat on the federal bench and Trump definitely wants him there!

The Senate must NOT confirm.

Emil Bove declines to rule out 3rd Trump term or denounce Jan. 6 rioters in Senate questionnaire Emil Bove declined to rule out the possibility of a third Trump term and did not denounce the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol in a questionnaire submitted to a Senate panel.

Emil Bove won’t say Biden won the 2020 election (by 7 million votes, 306-232 in the electoral college), won’t say Jan 6 was an insurrection, and won’t even say Trump can’t run for a third term under the Constitution…

Pirro endorsed threat to criminally investigate January 6 prosecutors in office she now runs | CNN Politics Jeanine Pirro, the acting US attorney for the District of Columbia, has a far lengthier public history of controversial comments than her predecessor, Ed Martin, whose nomination failed last month in ...

Jeanine Pirro called for jailing January 6 prosecutors. That’s right, the PROSECUTORS not the RIOTERS.

She lies in saying Biden stole the 2020 election.

She smeared judges and police.

She is unfit to serve as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia

Hundreds of DOJ alumni warn Senate against Trump's appellate judge nominee More than 900 former U.S. Department of Justice employees on Wednesday warned the Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee against confirming President Donald Trump's nominee Emil Bove to serve as an appellate court judge, according to a letter seen by Reuters.

More than 900 DOJ alumni speaking out: Emil Bove led the assault on the Constitution from the inside. He defied court orders, purged J6 prosecutors, and punished dissent. 

Giving him lifetime tenure to decide cases is an obscenity.

Stop this nomination.

Rep. Raskin explains why Judiciary Democrats are calling on Chair Jordan to subpoena the files and hold a public hearing where Trump’s top DOJ and FBI staff testify under oath about the Epstein case.

Release the files!

Chairman Jordan scoffs and says he "wouldn't subpoena the Attorney General" when it comes to the Jeffrey Epstein sex abuse ring.

Why not? Judiciary Republicans knew how to subpoena the last Attorney General when they wanted evidence. The whole country is waiting.
 
Release the files.

Rep. Crockett lays out the devastating cost of Trump’s attacks on life-saving programs that affect all areas of American life, from community-based violence prevention and victim support to global disease monitoring and food security in fragile regions.

Judiciary Democrats Demand Chairman Jordan Hold Public Hearing with DoJ and FBI Officials on Their Handling of the “Epstein Files” Washington, D.C. (July 15, 2025)—Today, Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, led Committee Democrats in a letter to Chairman Jim Jordan urging him to investigate the Tru...

NEWS: RM @RepRaskin and Judiciary Democrats demand Chairman Jordan invite—and subpoena if necessary—DOJ and FBI officials to testify regarding the Trump Administration’s recent handling of the “Epstein files.”

Bankruptcy can help people rebuild after a crisis, and the CFPB helps prevent such crises in the first place. By dismantling the agency that protects families from scams and fraud, Trump is enabling financial predators and empowering exploitation.

Every Epstein file referencing Trump must be released.

Raskin points to Musk remarks in demanding release of Epstein files Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) doubled down on his call for the Trump administration to release more material on disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, pointing to tech billionaire Elon Musk’s claims that…

Rep Raskin: “Elon Musk said that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files, and that’s the real reason they haven’t been released.”

The public has a right to the whole truth, not a redacted and curated reality that protects Trump or his billionaire buddies.

Firings without explanation create culture of fear at Justice Dept., FBI Widespread, abrupt terminations have left Justice Department and FBI employees wondering if they will be next, people familiar with the matter say.

Veteran public servants at the DOJ are being fired without cause, warning, or explanation. 

Their “crime”? Loyalty to the Constitution over Trump.

In this Gangster State, public ethics and respect for the rule of law are fireable offenses.

Judiciary Democrats Demand AG Bondi Release Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Report on Trump’s Mishandling of Classified Documents, Epstein Files Washington, D.C. (July 8, 2025)—Today, Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Dan Goldman led Committee Democrats in a letter demanding Attorney General Pam Bondi...

Judiciary Democrats are demanding AG Bondi release the full Jack Smith report and all Epstein files referencing Donald Trump because DOJ's job is to investigate and prosecute crimes—not cover them up to protect Trump-world.

Now Trump’s walking back his promise to publicly release the Epstein files? Who’s implicated in these records? Who’s the President protecting? And why?

The DOJ is continuing to block Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on how Trump stashed hundreds of highly classified records at his Mar-a-Lago Club, defied subpoenas, obstructed law enforcement, hid evidence, and lied about his continuing retention of the records.
