Opinion - Democrats are looking for answers — outside Washington
On the campaign trail, President Trump made a lot of promises. He promised to strengthen our economy. He promised to make our government more efficient. He promised to bring down costs. But after more than 100 days in, our economy is not strengthened, our government is certainly not more efficient, and costs are not down. The president has entangled us in trade wars with some of our closest trading partners — wars that erased $10 trillion from the stock market this spring and threaten to decimate family farms in my district and across the country. And with the help of the Department of Government Efficiency, he has waged an all-out assault on the federal government in an effort to weed out 'waste, fraud, and abuse.' I believe the American people elected Trump because they wanted solutions to pocketbook issues and a government that took action to get things done. But the president's agenda isn't working, and Democrats need to deliver. That's where the New Dem Coalition comes in. Before I explain why, I want to acknowledge that Democrats haven't always gotten everything right. During the election, we saw many working class voters drift away from the party. At times, our emphasis on identity politics or concepts like 'saving democracy' — while undeniably important — overshadowed the core economic issues that affect people's everyday lives. Instead of meeting voters where they are, we sometimes come across as telling them where they should be. That approach can feel out of touch and give the impression that the party is elitist, disconnected from the realities of everyday people. Working class voters are focused on how they'll afford their mortgage, put food on the table, or save for their kids' college — not necessarily on abstract debates about the soul of the nation. Don't get me wrong: the threat to democracy is real and urgent, especially with a president who shows little respect for courts or the Constitution. But if we're truly going to save democracy, we must build a broader coalition and bring more voters along. That means meeting people where they are, rather than telling them what should matter most. We need to address the tangible, kitchen-table issues that keep folks up at night. The New Dem Coalition has always done this. We have prioritized the needs of hard working Americans over the politics of D.C. We understand that we should be finding ways to make our government more efficient. We understand that we have to work across the aisle when we can — without compromising our values. That's why New Dems are crafting a proactive agenda — not only to win the House majority in 2026, but to maintain it for the long term. So, we're getting out of the D.C. bubble for a new series known as 'New Dems On the Road.' We'll be engaging with communities across the country, and gathering the critical feedback we need to guide our work. We're tackling every issue — from improving education outcomes to bolstering our national security — and working to find practical, lasting solutions that reflect the values and priorities of the American people. For our first stop, we zeroed in on immigration. Immigration isn't a problem we're going to solve overnight, but it's one that is consistently top of mind for the American people. We've come close to bipartisan solutions, only for selfish interests to squash our efforts in the 11th hour. That's why New Dem Immigration and Border Security Working Group members Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.) and Lou Correa (D-Calif.) sat down with Arizona leaders to talk about immigration. They met with industry and union representatives, members of the Arizona business community, and DACA recipients to discuss the importance of immigrants to Arizona's economy. The panel addressed the need to secure our border and pass a long-lasting immigration reform policy. It was instructive. And it showed the folks in these communities that we are listening to them. We know we don't have it all figured out — that's why we need real, local voices to help guide our work. Voices on the ground who are living and breathing these problems every single day. Then, it was my turn. I joined my friends Reps. Scott Peters (D-Calif.) and Wesley Bell (D-Mo.) for a conversation around clean energy and potential opportunities for bipartisan cooperation. We discussed the actions the Trump administration has taken to gut clean energy tax credits. There is no way around it — this is going to have a negative impact on people's utility bills. They will feel this. We also discussed what's ahead — like permitting reform, carbon capture and ultimately ways we can lower costs for people trying to keep the lights on, not raise them. Last month, Reps. Sarah McBride (D-Del.), Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.) and Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) got together to talk one-on-one with Delawareans about paid family and medical leave for working families. This is just the beginning. In total, we'll be conducting at least nine New Dems On the Road events — across the country. We need to come together, share ideas and forge a new path forward. A path that can address the issues that demand our attention: whether it's a single mom struggling to afford child care, a farmer looking to break into new markets, or a family who wants a good, public school education for their kids. We should all be committed to finding effective ways to achieve our shared goals and ensure that the government serves the people better. This isn't a partisan objective; it's a matter of common sense. However, real progress requires thoughtful strategy and careful action, not reckless cuts. Simply slashing budgets without consideration doesn't eliminate waste — it erodes the very foundation of what our government is meant to do: serve its citizens. New Democrats understand this deeply. We recognize that this moment calls for a meaningful response and an agenda that inspires — not the status quo. Our communities have elected us to take action, to solve problems and to improve lives. Now, more than ever, Democrats need to prove we can deliver Nikki Budzinski represents the 13th District of Illinois and is vice chair for policy for the New Dem Coalition.

Trump's ‘big, beautiful bill' includes 5-year investment in kids
(NewsNation) — President Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' has touched on several facets he feels will help the American people presently and in the future, including investing in the country's youth. Trump on Monday plans to highlight the 'Trump Account,' in which the federal government would make a one-time contribution of $1,000 into a tax-deferred, low-cost index fund account that will track the overall stock market to every U.S. citizen born between Jan. 1, 2024, and Jan. 1, 2029. The accounts will be private property controlled by the child's guardians. Trump's big bill also seeks to undo the big bills of Biden and Obama The accounts will begin at $1,000 per child, with the opportunity to contribute an additional $5,000 yearly throughout the child's life. Several business leaders — including those from Dell, Uber and Goldman Sachs — have announced billions of dollars in collective investments into 'Trump Accounts' for the children of their employees.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is floating a federal tax boycott
As tensions escalate between California and the Trump administration over immigration, another potential battlefront is emerging over taxes. The spat began with reports that the Trump administration is considering cutting funding for California's university system, the largest higher education system in the nation with about 12% of all U.S. enrolled students. In response, Gov. Gavin Newsom wrote Friday afternoon in a social media post that California provides about $80 billion more in taxes to the federal government than it receives in return. "Maybe it's time to cut that off, @realDonaldTrump," Newsom said. What is a donor state? A donor state is one that provides more in taxes to the federal government than they receive in return. The largest one, by far, is California, according to tax data. In 2022, California's residents and businesses provided $692 billion in tax revenue to the federal government. In return, the state received $609 billion in federal funding, leaving a gap of about $83 billion, according to the California Budget and Policy Center, a nonpartisan think tank. See which states are the biggest donors California's gap is so large partly due to the large number of high-income residents in the state, who pay a larger share of their income toward federal taxes than lower-income workers, the California Budget and Policy Center says. !function(){"use strict"; 0!== e= t in r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if( d= Overall, 11 U.S. states contribute more in taxes to the federal government than they get back, according to the Rockefeller Institute of Government: California ($83 billion gap)New Jersey ($28.9 billion)Massachusetts ($27 billion)Washington state ($17.8 billion)New York ($7.1 billion)Minnesota ($4.5 billion)Colorada ($2.9 billion)Illinois ($2.6 billion)New Hampshire ($2.4 billion)Connecticut ($1.9 billion)Utah ($709 million) Other states receive more in funding than they provide to the federal government, according to the tax data. The imbalance stems from a mix of reasons, ranging from some states having a larger share of residents on federal aid programs, such as Medicaid, to a larger number of federal facilities, such as military bases, compared with other states, according to the California Budget and Policy Center. What has the Trump administration said? In response to Newsom's post about boycotting federal tax payments, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned in a Sunday social media post that the governor "is threatening to commit criminal tax evasion." "His plan: defraud the American taxpayer and leave California residents on the hook for unpaid federal taxes," Bessent wrote. Bessent added, "Instead of committing criminal tax evasion, Governor Newsom should consider a tax plan for California that follows the Trump Tax Cuts model and reduces the onerous state tax burden to allow families to keep more of their hard-earned money."
