The U.S. economy has added 6.4 million jobs in the first year of @POTUS' term (with time still to go).
The last three GOP presidents saw 1.9 million (Bush 41), 1.4 million (Bush 43), and –3 million (Trump) total jobs added during their entire presidencies fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PAYEMS
Under President Biden's leadership the U.S. economy has seen THREE TIMES times as many jobs created in a single year as were created under the past three Republican presidents *put together* across sixteen years.
Republican presidents have served 10 four-year terms since the Bureau of Labor Statistics began publishing employment situation reports.
Only one of those four-year terms saw more jobs created than the 6.4 million we've added since @POTUS took office less than one year ago.
One year ago today insurrectionists launched a violent assault on the home of American democracy. My statement: beyer.house.gov/news/documents…
The crowd that attacked the Capitol included white supremacists and violent rightwing paramilitary groups. They constructed a gallows, and called for the assassination of the Vice President and the Speaker of the House.
Incited by the Big Lie of a lawless President bent on retaining power at any cost –a fact we know is true because the insurrectionists themselves repeatedly said it– they hoped to halt the peaceful transfer of power and overturn the results of an American election.
I understand Governor-elect intends to appoint former coal lobbyist and Trump EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler to serve as Virginia's next Secretary of Natural Resources.
Wheeler is one of the worst people the Governor-elect could have chosen for this job.
Andrew Wheeler is not who you get to show you are going to govern in a pragmatic way based on the common good and bipartisan consensus.
He's an anti-environment ideologue.
Wheeler implemented an EPA dirty air rule his own agency said would cause *1,400 deaths* and breathing problems in thousands of people, many of them children.
Confronted with the projected toll, he ordered the agency to change how it did the math to produce a lower number.
As we approach the anniversary of the January 6th attack on the Capitol, House Republicans are doing what they did from the moment the attack began: lie about it.
Ok everyone: here are twelve pieces of good economic news worth highlighting. We considered presenting these in a "Twelve Days of Christmas" format, but decided to spare you the extended dad joke and just focus on the positive economic news. Hope these will bring holiday cheer!
