Democrats, let’s get back to fixing the basics and fighting for the universal access to the American Dream.

As I travel and listen to voters, it’s clear to me that the Democratic Party is perceived as weak, woke, and wrong-headed. Voters are focused on everyday challenges from buying a home, health care, and retirement security to their kids’ education. They’re laser-focused on their family’s bottom line.

While members of Congress will get greater protection, millions of Americans will be at risk of losing health care, leaving them unprotected. Washington is betting the American people won’t care come November, a risky bet.

Mr. President, as a fellow American, lead us in reigniting those common virtues. More pulpit, less bully, please.

To be frank, it's getting very old, trite, and far too frequent to say there's no space for violence after every violent political act. If we want to be honest with ourselves, we will need to have a hard conversation with some difficult questions at the core about why, why now, and why these people.

The bathroom and the locker room are less important than the classroom.

What’s next: announcing that Japan is sending us cherry trees? As we used to say at the U.S. Embassy, Kanpai!
