Democrats can’t just be an anti-Trump Party.
We need our own pro-worker ideas.

Interesting @mtomasky look at why the House progressives' new blueprint's focus on seed patents contains the, er, seeds of a Dem rural revival.
"Democrats’ path back to victory runs precisely through aggressive anti-monopoly issues like this one."

In the last 17 years, the price of everything has gone up.
I’ve gone from too young to rent a car to member of Congress.
But the federal minimum wage hasn’t gone up a cent.
That’s a scandal.

Utility companies are a monopoly.
You don’t have a choice which one to buy from – so the prices are supposed to be regulated.
But now these monopolies are jacking up prices to rake in huge corporate profits— sometimes it’s 25% of your electric bill! That’s way higher than a normal business.
I have a bill to stop it.

‘Surveillance pricing’ is when companies use your personal data, run it through AI, then use it to charge you more.
It should be illegal.
I have a bill to ban it.

For 90 years, overtime has paid time-and-a-half.
Prices of everything have gone up, but overtime has stayed the same.
It’s time to change that.
I’m writing a bill to make overtime pay twice your hourly wage.

I’ve had it with big corporations ripping off working people.
English
Oil companies are making billions jacking up prices during Trump’s war.
@RoKhanna has a bill to tax them and give the money back to consumers.
It’s part of the Progressive New Affordability Agenda – and Congress should pass it now.

Progressives are rolling out a concrete affordability agenda aimed at lowering costs and rebuilding trust with voters.

call me crazy but i think they're on to something
Congressman Greg Casar@RepCasar
Every single one of these bills are supported by the vast majority of Democrats, the vast majority of Independents, and even a majority of Republicans!

.@RepRileyNY and I just introduced a new bill that would save the average family $500 a year on utility bills.
For-profit utilities are charging you more so they can fly around on private jets and make absurd profits. We're saying: no more.

For years, Big Pharma has ripped off Americans, forcing them to pay tens of thousands of dollars per year for their lifesaving prescription drugs.
@USProgressives have a plan to ensure prescription drugs are affordable and accessible for patients.
Congressman Greg Casar@RepCasar
We make your prescription drugs cheaper by saying if companies won’t make prescription drugs affordable, we’ll just make them ourselves. A vial of insulin goes from $300 a vial to $50. That's a bill from @janschakowsky and @SenWarren.

No more nibbling around the edges.
No more being the default option against Trump.
It's time for Democrats to dream big and fight hard for the changes we need to make life better for working people.
I'm proud to stand with @RepCasar and @USProgressives who are leading the way.
Congressman Greg Casar@RepCasar
Affordability is not a "hoax," and it has to be more than a slogan. Democrats need to be more than an anti-Trump Party. We need our own pro-working class agenda. We're proud to announce @USProgressives's New Affordability Agenda --> nytimes.com/2026/04/28/us/…

Democrats need to show what we’re fighting FOR — not just what we’re against. Glad to see @USProgressives & @RepCasar put out a plan that does just that.
As this makes clear, tackling affordability means taking on corporations & special interests who profit from the status quo.
Congressman Greg Casar@RepCasar
Today we are announcing the Progressive Caucus’ New Affordability Agenda. Donald Trump lied about bringing down costs. We need an actual plan to make things cheaper by taking on corporations ripping people off. Under this plan, every American family saves money. Here's how -->

Utility executives shouldn’t be flying around on private jets while Upstate families are sitting at the kitchen table making impossible choices between paying their electric bill and buying groceries.
@RepCasar and I are introducing the Lowering Utility Bills Act to crack down on excessive rates, rein in corporate greed, and deliver real relief for families.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus has included our bill to guarantee paid vacation to all workers as one of 10 bills on their new affordability agenda!
I look forward to working with @RepCasar and all of @USProgressives to get this across the finish line!

Democrats, Independents, and Republicans are all getting screwed by Trump's failed economic policies.
I joined Fox's LiveNow to talk about the Progressive Caucus' New Affordability Agenda to save every family money by taking on big corporations ripping people off.
