New Dems

Proud to present the New Dem Affordability Agenda. A clear, commonsense plan for how Congress can make life more affordable for all Americans. Learn more about it ⬇️

Millions of Americans worry about keeping a roof over their heads and feeding their families. Yet the only thing Trump and Congressional Republicans seem focused on is fighting an illegal war and lining their own pockets.

1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Breast cancer affects millions, but this month serves an important reminder that tools like early detection can save lives. New Dems honor those who are battling breast cancer and support the millions of Americans impacted by it.

There's a reason our Founding Fathers created checks and balances: to prevent one branch of government from holding absolute power. Yet Congressional Republicans seem eager to hand off Congress's power to Trump.

Trump's war with Iran is driving our economy off a cliff all while forcing Americans to foot the bill—and Congressional Republicans are doing NOTHING to stop it.

Congressional Republicans seem more worried about showing loyalty to Trump than protecting our democracy. @repgregstanton.bsky.social explains.

After years of watching elected leaders line their own pockets, it's no wonder Americans have lost faith in their government. New Dems have a plan to restore it and crack down on corruption. Read our Anti-Corruption Agenda: newdemocratcoalition.house.gov/imo/media/do...

Today is World Food Day, yet millions of Americans are going hungry because of Republican cuts to SNAP and the rising cost of groceries due to Trump's tariffs. New Dems will continue fighting against these reckless policies so that no American has to go hungry.

Why does it feel like food recalls have gotten 100x worse over the last year? (hint: it's because of Trump and RFK Jr.) @mcclellan.house.gov explains.

Americans aren't asking for much. They just want to know that their leaders have a real plan to lower costs and make life easier. @budzinski.house.gov explains how the New Dem Affordability Agenda answers that call.

Mortgage rates are climbing, meaning homeownership is further out of reach for so many Americans. New Dems refuse to let this cornerstone of the American Dream become a thing of the past, and we will continue fighting to fix Trump & Congressional Republicans' broken economy.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! New Dems are proud to honor the rich heritage, culture, and important contributions of our Native American communities.

Another busy week during the district work period, here's what New Dems were up to!

Trump and Pete Hegseth brought us into a war that they have no clue how to get out of, and Americans are paying the price. @repvalhoyle.bsky.social shares why their actions are so dangerous at a time where the stakes couldn't be higher.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to ensuring everyone is safe in their own homes. New Dems will always stand with survivors and will continue fighting for a future free from violence or fear.

This administration's policies and Congressional Republicans' inaction are directly responsible for higher prices. @repgregstanton.bsky.social explains.

Measles is back, and more diseases will follow if RFK Jr. continues to sow doubt in vaccines. As a Pediatrician, @repkimschrier.bsky.social saw firsthand how important it is for kids to get vaccinated against diseases like measles. Catch the full discussion on The Fly-In.

Another busy week, here's what New Dems have been up to!

Republicans cut billions from healthcare, which has already forced hundreds of hospitals to assess whether they can keep their doors open. @repkimschrier.bsky.social explains how hospital closures break communities, especially in rural areas, on this week's episode of The Fly-In, out now.

This week on The Fly-In, @repgreglandsman.bsky.social & @repmarcveasey.bsky.social are joined by @repkimschrier.bsky.social, the first pediatrician in Congress! They discuss the impacts of Republican healthcare cuts on rural communities, RFK Jr.’s dangerous anti-vax conspiracies, and more.

Statement from New Dem Environment, Climate, & Clean Energy Working Group Chair @repscottpeters.bsky.social, Chair @repschneider.bsky.social, & Vice Chair of Policy @budzinski.house.gov on the Senate’s released energy permitting reform legislation.

Take it from an actual doctor—@repkimschrier.bsky.social knows firsthand how dangerous RFK Jr.'s lies about vaccines are, and how they can harm children. Catch the full episode of The Fly-In tomorrow.

This week on The Fly-In we are excited to welcome @repkimschrier.bsky.social to talk all things healthcare and share her thoughts on how Trump and Congressional Republicans have hurt rural communities. Available this week wherever you get podcasts.

It's been a busy week, here's what New Dems were up to in their districts!

Congressional Republicans have rubber-stamped Trump's war in Iran, which is causing gas prices to skyrocket EVERYWHERE. New Dems took photos to show how Republicans' reckless agenda has raised prices in their communities.

Best of luck to everyone playing at the Congressional Softball Game tonight! 🥎

We asked New Dems to answer the age-old question: Are there more WHEELS 🛞 or DOORS 🚪 in the world?

Families are facing impossible financial decisions, and it's getting worse every single day. @pettersen.house.gov explains what Congress must do to help working families on The Fly-In, available everyone now.

G'mar chatima tova. New Dems wish everyone celebrating Yom Kippur a meaningful day of fasting and reflection.

Our founding fathers knew that a free press is crucial for upholding democracy. Just because Trump doesn't like that they are reporting on his failed war, disastrous economy, and rampant corruption, it doesn't give him the right to censor them.

Americans see right through Trump's empty promises. They know his "$5000 dividend" is BS and they're tired of his lies. Catch the full conversation on this week's episode of The Fly-In, available everywhere now.

Republicans have once again done one of the only things they are good at: skip town. Statement from New Dem Leadership.

Speaker Johnson and House Republicans just gave themselves an extra two weeks of vacation. New Dems share what we could do with that time instead.

Mike Johnson's never-ending vacation is stopping Congress from actually addressing AI. @liccardo.house.gov explains how Democrats are ready to have serious conversations about AI regulation, but Republicans keep sending us home early.

🚨New Dem Housing Task Force Chair @repemiliasykes.bsky.social writes about how the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is a massive step forward in addressing America’s housing shortage. Read here: www.newamerica.org/insights/the...

Tonight, House Democrats voted to rein in Trump and find a way to responsibly end his war in Iran so that we can put an end to the skyrocketing costs that are crushing working Americans. Statement from New Dem Leadership.

Tailgating season is back, so we asked New Dems what their favorite game day foods are!

This week, we are excited to welcome @pettersen.house.gov back to The Fly-In! Stay tuned for the full episode wherever you get podcasts, this Wednesday.

Shana Tova! As we reflect on the last year, New Dems hope that everyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah can enjoy this time spent with loved ones, and we wish you a happy and healthy year ahead.

This week, New Dems took time to commemorate the 25th anniversary of 9/11 by reflecting with their communities, honoring those we lost, and giving back to those in need.

To honor the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, New Dem members share their reflections on that fateful day and how it has shaped our country and their service. Read the full piece on Substack: newdemocratcoalition.substack.com/p/new-dems-r...
