Today, following a survey of our members, the Congressional Progressive Caucus voted to adopt an official position to oppose the Senate's Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA) as drafted, unless significant improvements are made. (1/x)
BAAJA similarly does not address Trump’s illegal and ongoing withholding of $7.5 billion of appropriated clean-energy funds to states that voted for Kamala Harris in 2024.
The CPC’s official position is consistent with Democratic Leader Jeffries’ recent statement that the legislation “falls short in several areas” and that he “will not rubber-stamp legislation that emerges from the Senate without more constructive involvement with our Caucus as we fight to make life more affordable for the American people.”

We will hold everyone who played a part in this illegal war accountable.
And that starts with Pete Hegseth.
No bailouts for big tech billionaires making reckless bets on A.I. These firms now hold trillions of dollars in debt and are holding the global economy hostage. Our government should not bail them out if the 'AI bubble' bursts. Instead, any funds should go directly to supporting working people and retirees in the wake of any market fallout.

Top of the Democratic agenda on day 1 needs to be a pause on advanced AI development, regulation of this out of control industry, and a ban on artificial superintelligence.

As Congress is confronted by complex issues ranging from cybersecurity to AI and more, our bill would restore and update the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment to provide a crucial internal source of expertise and counsel.

Republicans stood by the most corrupt president in history, attacked the rights and dignity of vulnerable Americans, and sent our economy into a nosedive. Last night, Americans resoundingly rejected that perverse version of our democracy. Democrats are ready to work for ALL Americans.
