<h4>TALARICO, AUCHINCLOSS: Trump’s blood for oil strategy is as reckless as it is illegal</h4>"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."

<h4>Digital Dopamine Is Consuming America. It’s Time to Fight for IRL.</h4>"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."

<h4>A congressman on how Democrats can regain the initiative on the economy.</h4>"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."

He believes weapons of war have no place on our streets or near our schools, which is why he’s working for an assault-weapons ban and other common-sense gun safety measures.In addition to fighting for an assault weapons ban, Jake’s gun-safety priorities include:<ul><li>Universal background checks to prevent criminals from buying weapons</li><li>Mandatory safe storage to protect children from their leading cause of death</li><li>Stricter enforcement of ghost gun provisions to prevent strong state laws, like those in Massachusetts, from being undermined by online retailers</li><li>Red flag laws to disarm those who are imminently a threat to themselves or others</li><li>Overturning the 2005 law that granted gun manufacturers immunity from liability, shielding them from lawsuits and stalling the adoption of safety devices</li></ul>Jake's work in Congress has earned him the<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://gunsensevoter.org/gun-sense-voting-candidates/"> Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate Distinction</a> and<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://bradypac.org/"> Brady PAC's</a> endorsement.

Jake Auchincloss, a Massachusetts Democrat and longtime critic of&nbsp;Big Tech, introduced a package of three bills on Monday designed to tighten oversight of social media platforms, expand safeguards for children, and tax advertising revenue from major tech companies to fund education initiatives."

"Auchincloss has used his perch to lodge aggressive criticism of Kennedy, trotting out foam display boards with elaborate charts showing Kennedy advisers’&nbsp;ties to the business world&nbsp;and&nbsp;slamming Kennedy’s advisers&nbsp;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."

Democracy is under attack, at home and abroad.Jake’s first speech in Congress was to advocate impeaching Donald Trump, and he continues to fight Trumpism at every turn. Jake has also been one of the strongest congressional supporters of Ukraine, Israel, and Indo-Pacific allies in the global contest against tyranny, terror, and totalitarianism.As a member of the House Select Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, Jake has pressed for U.S. investments in science, education and infrastructure as the surest means of outcompeting the Chinese Communist Party. On the Financial Services committee, he was one of the earliest proponents of energy sanctions on Russia, which the administration has since employed. And Jake has been a strong defender of Israel’s right to protect its citizens against terrorist attacks.&nbsp;Support for democracies overseas must be matched by support for democracy at home. Jake has consistently pointed out that Xi Jinping’s best day in office was January 6, 2021 – and that the greatest threat to the United States is no foreign power, but the specter of another Trump term and the disaster that would entail for the rule of law and the Constitution.To improve the integrity of U.S. politics, Jake is a supporter of legislation to end the distortions of dark money, gerrymandering, and stock-trading by members. He is also in favor of term limits and an enforceable code of ethics for the Supreme Court.

Strengthening the Middle Class

Jake stood up to special interests and helped pass legislation to empower Medicare to negotiate drug prices and to cap out-of-pocket costs for seniors. Now, he’s working to extend &amp; deepen those benefits.By taking on the greed of the big health insurance companies, Jake is fighting to cap out-of-pocket costs for all Americans.When a physician prescribes a drug that you need to get healthy, insurance companies shouldn’t be able to shift cost and friction onto you to prevent access to that medication. But that’s exactly what’s happening: drug-pricing middlemen, known as pharmacy benefit managers, are denying access to patients and making independent pharmacists miserable while raking in billions of profit every year for their insurance-company owners.Jake is moving multiple pieces of legislation, much of it bipartisan, to take on the insurance companies to lower prescription drug costs for patients. He is also a leader in pushing for adoption of innovative pricing models for a new era of cell-and-gene engineering and other personalized therapies.

With abortion access in jeopardy across the country, it’s more important than ever that we elect leaders who'll protect the freedom to choose. Jake was endorsed by the Planned Parenthood Action Fund as a strong advocate for reproductive health and rights in Congress.The Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade undermined women's right to control their own bodies and their own lives. With the Court failing to protect women's freedom, the U.S. House and Senate must step up and make Roe the law of the land – which is one reason Jake has advocated eliminating the filibuster.While we fight for reproductive freedom everywhere, abortion remains legal in Massachusetts, and federal &amp; state officials are working together to provide reproductive health care in Massachusetts for women in states that ban it.

Advancing Reproductive Freedom

Climate change requires bold action to protect our planet and our children’s way of life. As a millennial &amp; the youngest Democratic parent in Congress, Jake has a fierce sense of urgency to invest in clean energy and to ensure clean air, clean water, and clean soil.&nbsp;Jake strongly supported the Inflation Reduction Act, the biggest &amp; boldest climate action &amp; clean energy investment in history, in his first term in Congress. Since then, he’s been partnering with public &amp; private officials to advance clean-energy solutions, from fission &amp; fusion to offshore wind to hot-rock geothermal, while building environmental resilience through civil engineering projects throughout the district.&nbsp;Jake has also been a strong proponent of the land use &amp; transportation changes that reduce cities’ carbon footprint and improve walkability, like Complete Streets policies for cycling &amp; walking; liberalizing zoning for multi-family &amp; mixed-use development; and transit improvements.

Achieving a Clean Energy Future

"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."

WSJ Chief Economics Commentator Greg Ip goes to Fall River with Jake

“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."
