Sen. Klobuchar says Congress must 'reassert' itself after weak jobs report
Briefly

President Trump claims tariffs are fueling an economic boom, but recent data contradicts this assertion. Job growth is slowing, inflation is rising, and economic growth is lagging behind the previous two years. Senator Amy Klobuchar criticized Trump's actions, including firing a senior Labor official, and asserted that Congress must reclaim its power to check the president. Economists warned that Trump's policies, such as tariffs and mass deportations, could harm the economy. Klobuchar also suggested that the president is trying to create an alternative reality with his response to the labor statistics.
"Trump's tariffs and firing of a senior Labor official raise questions about the impact of aggressive policies, as job growth is slowing and inflation is rising."
"Klobuchar stated Congress needs to be a check on the president's actions, emphasizing the importance of restoring its power and authority."
