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…

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.

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.

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)

My first report from American Progress 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…

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…

New from me and Jessica Vela: permanently extending the Trump tax cuts would cost $4 trillion over the decade. On a net-present-value basis, they would cost $10.3 trillion over 30 years, and they'd push debt/GDP up 36%, leaving it above 200% by 2054. americanprogress.org/article/perman…

The stigma around public housing is indicative of divisions in our culture today. From Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:

Housing is a human right. That’s why Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and I just introduced the Homes Act — to help everyone find a quality, affordable place to call home.   It was great to talk about it at @AmProg’s housing summit!

The real reason for America's housing shortage is production lagging demand for over a decade. That's why Kamala Harris has said she would build 3 million homes in 4 years. americanprogress.org/article/reduci…

More people have jobs now than at any point in the Trump administration

New American Progress paper from Bobby Kogan, Jessica Vela, and me on principles for how to evaluate a 2025 tax bill. Our view is that passing a bill that violates these principles is worse than letting the whole thing expire.

The 2025 tax fight will affect all of us. Do we inch closer to fairness, or do we prop up the corrupt and entitled at the expense of workers? Bobby Kogan Brendan Duke Jessica Vela on the common-sense lines Congress can't cross: americanprogress.org/article/progre…
