GOP can run but it can’t hide. With candidates like Denise Powell in Nebraska, Sam Forstag in Montana and Josh Turek in Iowa, Democrats are going to take back Congress in November.

I'm supporting Sam because I see in him a partner to help build a new American Dream, anchored by peace, prosperity & patriotism.

China 2025 trade war → lost it, higher prices Iran 2026 hot war → lost it, higher prices

The president claims he’s asking Americans to sacrifice for the greater good. False. He’s asking Americans to pay for stupidity.

The president uses powers to make friends & felons richer. Democrats must use power to treat cost disease.

Step 1: complete Step 2: new commissioner & CBER/CDER directors with competence & credibility

Millions of Americans cutting back on groceries to pay for gas; and tens of millions globally going hungry b/c of rising fertilizer & energy prices. Yet Republicans prevent Congress from acting as a check & balance on an out-of-control president.

Work with our allies to prise away the Strait of Hormuz & negotiate on nuclear.

After ripping up the JCPOA in Trump 1, Trump 2 has lost so much strategic ground to Iran that it would now take that deal in a heartbeat.

The most important overseas story this week was not Iran. It was Hungary. jakeauch.substack.com/p/hungarys-les…

Trust juries more than Mark Zuckerberg.

Washington, Grant, Eisenhower — great American military leaders knew that war was the last resort, not the first impulse.

Democrats can overturn Citizens United without a new Supreme Court or constitutional amendment.

RFK Jr. has stopped talking about vaccines but he is working hard as ever behind the scenes to end measles vaccination.

Here’s how you beat this administration.

Democrats preparing to run for president in 2028 will need ideas for fixing Trump’s strategic failure on both Iran & Russia. One idea, paradoxically, is to combine the problems: knit together NATO & the Abraham Accords thru defense, energy & infrastructure projects so that a greater Mediterranean community can contest Russia & Iran on both wings.

Firsthand feedback from first-in-the-nation New Hampshire: • a lunch with Democratic leaders & Rep. Maggie Goodlander where we discussed a positive Democratic agenda for a new American Dream rooted in prosperity, public education & public safety. • 1:1 interview on housing at the Institute of Politics, where I argued against command-and-control land-use policies and in favor of a bottoms-up, 'Strong Towns' approach to walkable, incremental development that generates more housing production. • a 'Change My Mind' session with St. Anselm students where we debated social media regulations, sports gambling, self-driving cars, Israel and more.
