NEW: In 2018, white working-class voters approved of Trump on the economy by 30 points. Now they disapprove by as much as that margin in some polls. My piece on how Trump’s big blue-collar white vulnerability is reshaping the 2026 landscape nytimes.com/2026/06/13/us/po…

The DC voters I know are not going to take kindly to Donald Trump trying to tell them who they can and can’t vote for

70% of people think AI could cause large-scale job losses. And 27% of people even think it could cause humanity's extinction. That sort of tension means AI's status as a bottom-two issue *probably won't last*.

To be precise, banning corporations from using personal data to determine discounts is a 76/20 issue

Washington Post editorial board weighs in on LA mayoral race and inaccurately asserts a talking point that has been bandied about X over the last week: that Nithya Raman conceded on election night. That didn’t happen. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

New data shows billionaires have tripled their net worth in the past 15 years. From $4.5 trillion to $14.2 trillion. Is your life 3 times better than it was 15 years ago?

If you work over 40 hours, you should be getting paid double for overtime. That’s why @RepCasar and I will be introducing a bill to ensure that workers stop getting overworked and underpaid. huffpost.com/entry/democrats…

NEW - Progressive and centrist Democrats are remarkably aligned around their plan for using a potential House majority to investigate President Donald Trump: Pursue businesses that have cultivated his administration for backdoor oversight, and don’t hold back.

Within a corrupt political system, here is an inspiring story which speaks to the beauty and strength of democracy and what we can accomplish when we work together.  In April 2025, as part of our Fighting Oligarchy tour, I held a rally in Missoula, Montana. As we almost always do at our rallies, we invited local union leaders to address the crowd and say a few words about issues impacting their communities.  One of those local union leaders was a National Forest firefighter named Sam Forstag, who discussed how Donald Trump and Elon Musk's DOGE had just fired thousands of federal employees — including many in Montana.   As a result of that rally and the 9,000 people there who responded very positively to his remarks, Sam, who had never run for public office before, decided to take on the Establishment and run for the U.S. Congress as a proud member of the American working class.   Guess what? On Tuesday, June 2, after putting together a strong grassroots coalition, Sam Forstag won the Democratic Party’s primary in the First District of Montana. And, with our help, he’ll soon become Congressman Sam Forstag.

Almost all of the House Dem ideological and affinity caucuses are pushing corporations to do more on voting rights post-Callais "We call on Corporate America to stand on the side of democracy by opposing efforts that undermine fair representation..."

"It’s appropriate to level the playing field and not give people a tax break for getting rid of your job via AI,” Casar said. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

“The powers have been we have to stop talking about kicking workers to the curb. The message has gone out: look, this is going to be fine for workers. But we know different.”
