EXCLUSIVE: A top Trump pollster advised House Republicans to fend off Democrats' Obamacare attacks by focusing on reducing drug prices.
Trump pollster’s health care advice for Republicans: pivot to drug prices
Tony Fabrizio did not recommend an extension of Obamacare subsidies, as he previously counseled.

President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law, lowering drug prices by allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug costs and capping annual out-of-pocket expenses.
Every Republican in Congress voted against it.
Nice try, though.

A huge win for VA: after @markwarner.bsky.social, @bobbyscott.house.gov, and I filed an amicus brief in court, a judge ruled that Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind will resume construction! This project will create jobs, lower costs, and cement VA as a leader in this industry.

The federal "tipped" minimum wage is $2.13 per hour.
Despite millions of Americans already working for poverty wages, Republicans tried to pass a bill this week that could have made it millions more.

Yesterday’s killing of an American citizen by an ICE agent in Minneapolis is truly disturbing. I’m confident there will be a thorough and fair investigation by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...
ICE agent was not in the vehicle’s path when he fired at driver, video shows
An analysis of video footage raises questions about claims by President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem about the fatal shooting in Minneapolis.

Today marks 5 years since a violent mob attacked the United States Capitol in an attempt to overturn a free and fair election. We must never forget how fragile democracy is and must work to ensure that we protect it for future generations of Americans.
