Last night was a thumping from coast to coast. Across the country, voters rejected chaos and cynicism – and chose leaders who are focused on the cost of everyday life.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

The Trump administration is canceling the DOT’s rule to get passengers compensation for extreme airline delays - just the latest example of them siding with corporations and against customers.

Much attention has rightly been paid to the sheer strangeness of RFK Jr.

But as the person now in charge of our public health, what really matters - more than the theatrics or trolling - is what he is taking away from us.

The problem isn’t just that he’s a quack - it’s that he’s a quack with power over your health, and he’s using that power to hurt you.

As I said to @petebuttigieg.bsky.social, Trump is running scared. Texans didn't vote for him to kick 17M Americans off their health care, and he knows it.

Instead of facing voters, he’s trying to rig the '26 election by manipulating the maps.

The President sees a bad jobs report, and responds by getting rid of the person in charge of the statistics. This is how America becomes a third-rate country.

Today's jobs report shows 24,000 factory jobs lost in the past three months.

Trump’s first term brought a manufacturing recession. Now his reckless tariffs are making Americans worse off, again.
The job market is showing signs of weakness as Trump's tariffs take effect
U.S. employers added just 73,000 jobs in July, according to a report from the Labor Department Friday, as the unemployment rate inched up to 4.2%. Job gains for May and June were also revised sharply ...

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.

Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

Sixty years ago today, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law - securing health care for millions and saving countless lives. As GOP politicians try to tear them down, it's up to us to protect and expand these programs for Americans who rely on them today and for future generations.

Pete Buttigieg now has over 500,000 subscribers on Substack.

As far as I can tell, he has more subscribers than any other US politician on the platform. And it's not even particularly close.

VP Vance has cast the deciding vote in the Senate to cut Medicaid, take away food assistance, blow up the deficit, and add tax breaks for the wealthiest.

This bill is unpopular because it is wrong.

Congress votes this week, but it’s our voices - and our votes - that will have the final say.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

Early this morning, House Republicans passed Trump's "big, beautiful" budget bill to kick millions of Americans off Medicaid and fund tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations - but not before they snuck in even more changes that will make life harder for the most vulnerable Americans.

Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid.

Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt.

Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.
