I want to say something about affordability. It is a goal, but our ambitions must be so much grander. The fight for the American Dream is more than just making life less a ripoff. Just getting by or making ends meet should be the floor, not the ceiling. This fight is for the good life, one where your hard work means real security at every stage of life. Where you have freedom to start a family, to have hobbies and take vacation, to care for sick family members, to retire with dignity, and to serve your community. These things should not be luxury items, and we should be unsparing and vicious in our fights against corruption and the powerful that have rigged the system and gutted the American Dream.

Breaking: WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. inflation rises to highest level in three years, highlighting affordability challenge as elections nears.

When it comes to Democratic primaries, moderates are making the exact mistake progressives make in the general election by discounting the importance of ideology. Liberals are now the majority in the Democratic primary, not moderates. theargumentmag.com/p/why-cen…

The Hill: Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) on Tuesday said it was “wrong” for Democrats to attempt to eliminate the filibuster during the Biden administration and argued eradicating the procedure would lead to “profound ramifications” for the United States Link to article: thehill.com/homenews/senate/…

Sam Forstag has won the Democratic primary for Montana’s 1st Congressional District. The smokejumper and union leader could flip one of the most competitive seats in the country this November.

Honored to have @ChrisForPA’s support. He’s shown that Democrats can win in tough districts by fighting relentlessly for working families and standing up for our democratic values. I plan to bring that leadership on behalf of the people of NJ-07.

With friends like these . . . A handful of self-styled Republican “populists” are crawling into bed with union kingpins like Teamster boss Sean O’Brien, apparently convinced that parroting Big Labor talking points makes them champions of the “working man.” Now seven House Republicans have joined Democrats to push Josh Hawley’s deceptively named “Faster Labor Contracts Act.” Translation? More power for union bosses, more coercion for workers, and more muscle for the same Big Labor machine funding the radical Left. Even the Wall Street Journal blasted these “pro-union Republicans” as “rubber stamps for labor bosses who are allies of the Democratic Party.” The fact is, the majority of working men and women want freedom from union boss coercion -- not politicians selling them out to the same Big Labor bosses trying to control their workplace and their paychecks. thehill.com/homenews/house/5…

Literally the only explanation for why Trump would install Pulte in this position is to have him use the resources and authorities of the US intelligence community against his political enemies. Democrats should fight this tooth and nail starting with Section 702 reauthorization

$100 billion. That’s our estimate of the cost of the Iran War to American households. That’s nearly $750 per household. This includes the additional U.S. military costs and the higher energy and other prices resulting from the war. This is a big economic blow, but deficit-financed tax cuts have cushioned it. Until now. As of May 16th, the bigger tax refunds Americans have received this year no longer cover the higher costs of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel caused by the war. The financial pressure is thus mounting quickly, particularly on already hard-pressed middle and lower-income households. With the saving rate about as low as it ever goes, unless the war ends soon and energy prices come down, they will have little choice but to rein in their spending, weighing further on the already sagging economy.

Senator Collins responds to the scurrilous claim from Graham Platner that she sent him to "die in Iraq." "That was Platner's decision to serve. He was not drafted."
