George F. Will's column on Jake Auchincloss
“The Democratic Party’s future — if it wants one; the evidence is mixed — should be based on candidates who understand that U.S. politics, when healthy, takes place between the 40-yard lines, contesting the center of the field. People such as the 37-year-old Marine (he served in Afghanistan, and is in the Corps’ Individual Ready Reserve) who now is a Whiggish (his description) congressman."

WSJ Chief Economics Commentator Greg Ip goes to Fall River with Jake
"Democrats’ bruising loss to Donald Trump in last November’s election could be explained in a single word: inflation. It should be the last thing a Democrat would want to raise with voters now. Yet it is the first thing that Rep. Jake Auchincloss of Massachusetts brings up with them. “Prices are going up. We’ve all felt that,” he declares to a group of seniors at a cookout outside this former mill town 50 miles south of Boston."

"Auchincloss has used his perch to lodge aggressive criticism of Kennedy, trotting out foam display boards with elaborate charts showing Kennedy advisers’ ties to the business world and slamming Kennedy’s advisers as “bros” with views “based in conspiracy and quackery.” In a chamber where speeches often get monotonous and bogged down in jargon, Auchincloss’ animation and willingness to punch back stand out."

TALARICO, AUCHINCLOSS: Trump’s blood for oil strategy is as reckless as it is illegal
"One of us is a congressman who commanded Marines in jungle training in Latin America. The other is a state representative and candidate for the U.S. Senate out of Texas, the biggest oil producer in the country. We’re both members of Majority Democrats, a group of elected leaders dedicated to rebuilding trust with the exhausted majority of Americans. Whether seen from the perspective of the military or the Texas middle class, we agree: Republicans in Congress are failing to provide a check and balance on warmongering."

Digital Dopamine Is Consuming America. It’s Time to Fight for IRL.
"As the father of three children under 6, I do not want their brains programmed by corporations, like software. And as a congressman on the committee that oversees much of technology and commerce, I know there are deeper forces at work here: In our laws and in our markets, America has stacked the deck in favor of virtual reality over our material reality."
The economist - by invitation
A congressman on how Democrats can regain the initiative on the economy.
"Housing, healthcare, and utilities all still suffer from cost disease. Curing it...should be a prime promise from Democrats. Cut regulations that drive up costs, like zoning does for housing. Promote technology that takes out cost, particularly in hospital services. Take on special interests, like the health insurance corporations, that keep prices high.
We strive for an economy where Americans are building more, better and faster to lower prices. We reject an economy captured by middlemen or monopolists. We embrace an economy that works like Legos, not Monopoly."
