This undermines US shipbuilding with little to no benefit to consumers. Iran has shown our weaknesses. Ships attacked, supply lines decimated, our navy stretched thin & with allies refusing to help, it's hard to imagine offshoring capacity. We need action to secure our future.

Texas Gov race is statistically tied in a new poll by GBAO. - Abbott’s support cratering, polling worse than Trump. - Independent voters break heavily for Gina, showing a 16 point lead. - Gina leads Abbott with young voters by 29 points. - Gina has already captured 57% of the Latino vote before spending a dime on paid media. - @BetoORourke and @wendydavis gov races were never this close. Something is happening in TX and it’s not just in Tarrant County. @GinaHinojosaTX

Why? Because Mayors know what works. Trump may want to take credit, but this happened in spite of him, not because of him.

Does anyone really think we need to keep rehashing 2024? This is objectively the right decision. Democrats just won a bunch of elections. At this point, there is more to be gained from looking forward than continuing to beat a dead horse.

This morning, I spoke with mayors across the country at the @DemMayors Summit in Cleveland. When I talk about organizing everywhere, I mean everywhere: to win elections in our counties, our towns, our legislatures, and our courts. That’s how we take our country back.

Look who I ran into at the Democratic Mayors Summit. Gov. @AndyBeshearKY is leading the way by always telling the truth and leaning into our shared values. So great to host him right here in the Land!
