New analysis out today on the impact of Trump's policies on the veteran women's workforce: nationalpartnership.org/womenveteranworkforce. Some key findings:

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Every month for the last 77 years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has estimated Americans' unemployment rate This streak dies tomorrow Govt staff could not survey Americans about whether they're working or looking for work in Oct, the 1st time in 934 months This blind spot will remain forever

We are into the 6th week of the longest government #shutdown in history. If this stretches to the end of November, the CBO estimates it will cost the economy $14B. Lemme tell you what else we could have for $14B: nationalpartnership.org/six-things-w...

New: The Share of Mothers Who Work Is Shrinking – and Black Mothers Face the Steepest Declines. nationalpartnership.org/report/share...

The degree of callousness and cruelty to be able to leave a toddler in a car is frightening.

$14 billion is more than what we spend in a year on Head Start, which is at risk of shutting down because of the shutdown. Make it make sense.

Good day to read this @chabeli.bsky.social piece on how women of color are impacted when there is no new jobs report. #numbersday

Delaying the jobs report would be bad for everyone -- but especially Black women, who are bearing the brunt of Trump's disastrous economic agenda: 19thnews.org/2025/08/susp...

Our analysis shows that threats to fire federal workers are threats against disabled workers, workers in the South, and veterans -- especially women veterans: nationalpartnership.org/report/trump....

One untold story of this week's wage gap data? The data pre-date the Trump administration’s policies that especially harm Black women. “The[se]...policies have frankly poured fuel on the fire, which means...Black women are in an even more challenging position this year” www.cnbc.com/2025/09/11/f...

“The wage gap is nearly $15,000 – more than a year of child care. Unfortunately, the current administration’s economic policies are contributing to the country’s pay gap, driving up costs while torpedoing job growth." @kfgrobbins.bsky.social

This is the official spokesperson for the White House, stating that the President hopes to deploy the United States military to occupy every city controlled by the political party that opposes him. Explicitly.

"It's good that men are gaining; we want to see those wages go up. We know families need it. But we also can't be in the situation where we're seeing women being left further and further behind." Was glad to chat with @maddiemitch.bsky.social about today's new #wagegap data. Read the whole piece!

New Mexico has: -300+ days of sunshine each year -the best chile in the country -and now universal child care We're the best place to live and raise a family hands down.

Exactly on point re: today's #JobsReport from @emilypeck.bsky.social: www.axios.com/2025/09/05/j...

Today’s alarming #JobsReport continues recent trends of a dramatically slowing economy – and Black women continue to bear the brunt of this economic slowdown 1/10

Amidst some miserable #JobsReport data, Black women's unemployment rate hit 6.7%, the highest it's been in nearly 4 years. It's more than double white women's rate of 3.2%. #NumbersDay

"For groups of women we and others have been watching especially closely during this period—for example, disabled women, Black women, women veterans—timely information about these groups would disappear.” Was glad to talk to @chabeli.bsky.social about what losing monthly BLS data means for women.

What's wild is that while 212,000 women 20 and older have left the labor force since January, among women 25-34 years old, 330,000 have exited during the same time period.

Dr. Erika McEntarfer has devoted her career to public service. She has conducted herself as BLS Commissioner with great integrity. There is no evidence whatsoever that BLS data are politically biased. #econsky

Today’s terrible #JobsReport comes amidst headlines warning of an economic slow down – and confirms recent data showing a weakening economy. #JobsDay #NumbersDay www.nytimes.com/2025/07/30/b... 1/10

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will recognize Palestine as a state, amid snowballing global anger over people starving in Gaza.

“Any reductions could affect disabled people’s ability to live with loved ones, go to school, hold jobs, enjoy public activities and contribute to their communities… “I don’t want to just survive… Medicaid helps me live a fulfilling, independent life in my community.”

The Congressional Budget Office's final verdict: the GOP tax and spending bill will cost $3.4 trillion over ten years.

Grateful to @eockerman.bsky.social for writing on this critical topic—and spotlighting the particular impacts for women veterans: au.finance.yahoo.com/news/veteran...

Was great to chat with @acvollers.bsky.social about our new piece with @abetterbalance.org highlighting how states are keeping localities from passing paid sick days laws -- and it's especially impacting Black and rural workers: www.yahoo.com/news/18-stat...

Nearly 73 million workers live in states that block local communities from making progress on paid sick days. New data from @npwf.bsky.social and @abetterbalance.org shows who bears the brunt of these unfair practices: nationalpartnership.org/psd-progress-blocked

Important new piece on Black women's unemployment from @chabeli.bsky.social: 19thnews.org/2025/07/blac.... As we noted, this increasing unemployment -- accompanied by decreasing employment to participation ratios -- is really concerning...

Today’s new #JobsDay data show the continued impacts of the Trump administration’s harmful policies, especially for Black workers. 1/10 #NumbersDay

As I have been saying…

Where is he? If we stop asking, stop demanding his return, we are complicit in his disappearance.

Absolutely not. Medicaid matters to my family. We are not immaterial. nationalpartnership.org/medicaid-mat...

Sen. Lisa Murkowski stared me down for more than 10 seconds when I asked about the criticism she was receiving about the deal struck to get her vote on the OBBB.

Passing a bill that will kill 51,000 people a year when what people wanted was some cheap eggs is WILD.

"The strength of this comes from the fieldwork,” says Ball, who found it extraordinary that the team was able to do such a detailed survey amid the conflict. So proud of Michael, his co-authors & most importantly the brave team of interviewers who worked so hard to bring these data to the world.

Women already do 2/3 of the unpaid care in the US, equating to $683 billion a year in unpaid care work. infogram.com/1pdd7xxy9p5x...

NEWS: Wyden Statement on New CBO Numbers Showing More than $930 Billion in Medicaid Cuts In New Senate Draft

Lots of false claims that the bill will somehow strengthen Medicaid for the most vulnerable including seniors/people with disabilities. Not only do the cuts directly harm those groups but virtually none of the spending cuts in House bill are reinvested in #Medicaid & instead go to offset tax cuts.

We found a big, persistent gender gap in unpaid caregiving. But a gender gap is not a gender war. This isn't a story of women versus men -- it's about all of us versus an economic system we need to fix, together.

🚨🚨🚨

Fresh off the presses with @jessicamason.bsky.social: Americans’ unpaid caregiving is worth more than $1.1 trillion annually – and women are doing almost two-thirds of the work. #CareCantWait nationalpartnership.org/if-americans...

Amber Thurman. Candi Miller. Josseli Barnica. Nevaeh Crain. Porsha Ngumezi. On the third anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, revisit our reporting about the women who died after not receiving timely medical care in states with strict abortion bans:

Did you know: more than half of Black women in the U.S. live in the 22 states that have banned or are threatening to ban abortion since Dobbs? Three years later, we’re taking stock of the harms of the Dobbs decision. nationalpartnership.org/report/abort...

Exclusive: A new analysis from the Institute for Women's Policy Research estimates that the Dobbs decision overruling Roe v. Wade—issued 3 years ago tomorrow—is costing the nation more than $133 billion annually. First reported by me for @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
