From last year, and in three weeks, the current funding agreement for the government will expire and Republicans will force us into a shutdown as they try to hold the american people hostage. Every day I am hearing from you, my constituents, about the pain that your families are facing folks. Who have lost their jobs and struggling to keep food on the table as prices continue to rise.

To ask a question and get in the queue, please dial ████ three and a member of my staff will add your question to the queue and you'll be returned. Back to the call. So a quick update on what's happening right now with the economy. █████'s biggest promise during the campaign. The reason that so many people voted for him was that he was going to bring down prices on day one, but what's actually happened couldn't be farther. From that. The august jobs data showed that our economy. Is stalling, hiring is slowing, and unemployment is rising. And that's after he fired the previous guy whose statistics he didn't like. For many families, this past week marked back to school. A time that should be full of excitement. But it's hard to be excited when the cost of a binder is up ██%. And a notebook is up ██%. And it's not just school supplies. Everything that. Goes in. Your kid's lunchbox is getting more expensive, too. Meanwhile, the White House is hosting roundtables with a group of big tech CEOs worth more than ███ bill. Billion dollars who praised him so that he continues to shield them from breakups or from anything. That holds him accountable for fleecing consumers. And yes, the new Trump crypto coin made ████████████ $5 billion on his first day out. So I want to be blunt. This administration and. This Republican Congress. Is not lowering costs or making life more affordable for Americans. They're just re rigging the economy, so it works for them. Their big, bad betrayal. Bill, passed in July, is the largest transfer of wealth in our country's. History, from the working class to millionaires and billionaires. It will kick ██ million Americans off of their health insurance through cuts to Medicaid and the affordable care act. It's the largest cut ever. To food assistance for low income families, and it supercharges ISIS budget. Putting this lawless agency on track to be the largest law enforcement force in the country. and all of that as it gives billions
