Big news: I wrote a book.📘 “Life of the Party” is my case for how Democrats stop relying on Republicans being worse, rebuild trust with voters, and become a party people are proud to support. Blunt, honest, from the heart — out May 20th. Pre-order now: lifeofthepartybook.com

If/when Dems take the House, they should certainly hold the administration accountable. But we have to walk + chew gum at the same time. Priority 1 must be affordability and going after corporate giants who are literally becoming trillionaires while the middle class suffers.

In my opinion, most of the Senate races are toss-ups, aside from Georgia and North Carolina. Jon @ossoff  and @RoyCooperNC are setting an example and blazing a path for what a new era of Southern Democratic politics can look like. The South is not a lost cause. #Election2026

•Useless chatbots instead of customer service. •Forced to pay a portal fee just to pay your rent. •Subscriptions impossible to cancel. •Monopolies destroying competition. These aren’t just annoyances. They’re ways corporate America is grinding consumers down—taking our money, our time, and our patience. We’re reaching a tipping point. And there’s really only one solution. Read more in my op-ed here:

Before calling this a great deal for America, we need to ask: who actually benefits? Where is the money going? Who gets richer? What does this mean for the Venezuelan people? I discussed those questions yesterday on @BBC’s Context USA.

Let's not sugarcoat it. South Carolina is a Republican state, and statewide races remain an uphill battle. But the political environment hasn't been this favorable for Democrats in years, and real opportunities lie ahead.

Mainstream Democrats have to start putting forth new ideas and new leaders. And if they dont, the DSA and other progressive groups will.

Last night’s Democratic primaries told us a lot. - The center is alive and strong. - Progressives are extremely energized. - Voters *do* care about electability. - They’re hungry for generational change. - And above all, they crave candidates who seem grounded, believable and normal.

A few thoughts before tonight’s SC Republican Senate primary. Darline Graham is almost certainly going to the runoff. The real race tonight is for second place — and I think Ralph Norman, Russell Fry and Mark Sanford all have a legitimate shot at it. Ralph Norman has the biggest built-in advantage. He’s arguably the most MAGA candidate in the field and just finished spending millions communicating statewide during the governor’s race. The question is whether all that exposure also revealed his ceiling. He’s been living around 17–20%, and I’m not convinced there’s much more there. Russell Fry may have the most grassroots energy right now, and definitely the youngest base of the major candidates. He also represents the fastest-growing part of the state, which gives him a very real geographic advantage. His problem: outside of his congressional district, he’s still not nearly as well known as Norman or Sanford. And then there’s Mark Sanford — probably the biggest wildcard tonight. Mark was my opponent in 2018, but I’ve gotten to know him pretty well over the years. Whatever you think of him, his message on spending, debt and fiscal restraint has been remarkably consistent over decades. Sanford also started with statewide name recognition, more than $1 million sitting in his old congressional account and some of the smartest, best-produced television ads I’ve seen this cycle. I think there’s a very real chance Mark Sanford gets into this runoff. I wouldn’t be surprised if that ends up being the story of the night. Public and private polling both show the race for second extremely close. And in a low-turnout special election, we could easily be talking about a few hundred votes separating second, third and fourth. But the bigger story may be what happens after tonight. I think Darline Graham is in a much weaker position in a one-on-one runoff than she is in this crowded field. The longer voters have to look at her candidacy and compare her directly with an experienced alternative, the harder this race gets for her. Trump’s endorsement obviously matters in a Republican primary. I just don’t think it saves Graham in a runoff. Whether the opponent is Norman, Fry or Sanford, my bet tonight is the same: Darline Graham makes the runoff. And then Darline Graham loses it.

Very much here for farm animal props.

Americans shouldn’t pay more for the same prescription drugs than patients in other wealthy countries. Voluntary agreements aren’t enough. Congress should codify most-favored-nation pricing and make lower drug costs permanent. My latest for @TheHill: thehill.com/opinion/healthca…
