U.S. added just 73,000 jobs in July and numbers for prior months were revised much lower Nonfarm payrolls were expected to increase by 100,000 in July, according to the Dow Jones consensus estimate.

Today's jobs report shows a major decline in job growth since the Trump administration's tariffs took effect in April.

This bill is an abomination. Not because it’s a Republican bill or some partisan fight. It’s an abomination because it punishes the working class, targeting the most vulnerable and burdening the already overburdened. And Republicans know it, yet they’re siding with donors over constituents.

Congress is trying to kill new investment in solar and wind power.

Meanwhile global warming is accelerating.

This is a death wish, on a national and global scale.

Senate’s tax bill seeks to gut clean energy; Musk calls it ‘utterly insane’ The Republican-controlled Congress is poised to score a major win for President Trump by repealing green energy incentives that Democrats passed in 2022.

Higher bills. Fewer jobs. Less reliable power as record heat scorches the country. This Republican tax bill rewards Big Oil, at the direct expense of American families. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

The Senate's "trillions for billionaires" bill just got even worse, kicking more people off medicaid and ⬆️ utility bills for families by hundreds of $$$. The Republican rate hike bill even adds higher taxes to solar and wind while giving more $ to coal and oil companies. Corrupt, reverse Robin Hood.
