Gerry Connolly (D-VA11) lists, below: we’re definitely NOT in a recession, we’re continuing to add jobs, the labor force participation rate is up to near pre-pandemic levels, “working-age women are now back to work at rates not seen since before the pandemic,” “gas prices have fallen for 80 straight days, down $1.20/gallon since summer started,” American manufacturing “roaring back,” etc. None of this is by accident, of course!
