The government funding deadline in March is the moment of maximum leverage for Democrats.
We must use it to safeguard Congress's power of the purse. Otherwise, the legislative check on the executive disintegrates.

Hobbling NIST will impair business productivity and raise costs for consumers.

Iran, China, and Russia are an axis of authoritarianism.
Maximum pressure on Iran will not work if Trump is weak on Russia (Ukraine) and China (TikTok).

Republicans in Congress are about to vote to explode the deficit & cut at-home care for seniors, in order to fund tax cuts for people who don't need tax cuts. Their town halls are going to get a lot angrier after that.

Vladimir Putin is running circles around Donald Trump & his JV team.
From October 7th onward, I have insisted that Hamas must have no role in the governance of Gaza. As the terrorists return the bodies of Oded Lifshitz, Shiri Bibas, and Kfir & Ariel Bibas, who were 9 months and 4 years old when taken hostage, we are all reminded of why Hamas is evil.
My conversation with Ezra Klein on building new cities and taxing the daylights out of social media corporations.

Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.
Zelensky must be at the table for negotiations

Firing FDA scientists doesn't cut waste, fraud & abuse in government.
It makes it easier for bad actors to get away with waste, fraud & abuse in industry. Undermining expert regulators punishes innovators & rewards snake oil salesmen.

Giving tax cuts & handouts to the billionaire tech moguls who attended the inauguration is not cutting waste, fraud & abuse, and it's not lowering costs for Americans.

But opposition to bad ideas isn't enough. In states where Democrats have a trifecta, we must demonstrate better ideas in governance, particularly on how to lower the cost of housing and healthcare.
Republicans have the trifecta in Washington. Democrats will oppose any unlawful or inflationary actions they take.

Your barometer of Trump’s pledge to lower costs should be your auto & home insurance premiums.

The Trump administration is negotiating against itself. Instead, it should strengthen U.S. support for Ukraine while driving hard negotiations with Russia that secure our ally's eastern border, guarantee it freedom of navigation in the Black Sea, and assure its accession to the European Union.
As the nation's top health officer, Secretary Kennedy now has tremendous power over the development and distribution of vaccines. Sitting on the committee with oversight of him, I will be laser-focused on preventing any more of his "natural experiments" on children's immunity.
In 2019, RFK Jr. ran what he called a "natural experiment" in Samoa to prevent measles immunization. The result of his experiment? Children died of measles.

But they will care when they hear from their own universities & hospitals. Research executives: call your Republican Member of Congress!
Republicans in Congress certainly do not care that the NIH's cuts to research infrastructure are illegal. And they may not care that the policy is a $2 billion tax on Massachusetts' Eds & Meds enterprise.
