“It’s a huge power block now,” the Democratic lawmaker said [of the NewDem Coalition]. “Schneider is crafty and really responsive and really good at helping position members for what they want.”

#UT01 news: New Democrat Majority, the independent expenditure arm of the New Dems’ campaign wing, is launching a $1 million buy boosting former Rep. Ben McAdams.
The ad hails McAdams as a fighter who voted to impeach President Donald Trump. https://t.co/VErVHhXNuw
New Dem Chair @Schneider4IL10 and Vice Chair @NikkiBudzinski stopped by Manny's -- a Chicago institution -- for lunch today following the attempted break-in earlier this week.
New Dems stand with Manny's and with all small businesses!
@ThirdWayMattB@ZachWahls I’m pretty sure the group is led by a number of people who have managed the most difficult races in Democratic politics in the house
The Effective Governing Coalition, a nonprofit aligned with the centrist New Dems, is hosting it's first policy forum this month.
It will focus on... you guessed it! Affordability.
Sen. Elissa Slotkin will be a speaker.

This is a good time to remember that the @NewDemCoalition has an excellent plan to raise taxes on the wealthy in order to expand Obamacare and "increase funding for federal programs that support access to mental health services"
U.S. @RepSchneider (D-IL) tells HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that his endorsement of proposed NIH cuts is pushing American doctors out to work for other countries, the opposite of what happened in the 20th century.
"You're diminishing science. You're making it harder for Americans to lead ... At the turn of the last century, scientists from around the world came to the United States because they were chased out of their countries in Europe. The actions you and this administration are taking are chasing American scientists away from this country and fueling the research and development and drug commercialization in places like China."
🚨BOOM!!! Rep. Schneider just EVISCERATED RFK Jr. to his face in the hearing:
"You're not making Americans healthier. You're making Americans SICKER.
"You're making our children's future less prosperous and less secure. You should be ashamed of yourself."
A conspiracy theorist with a worm in his brain shouldn't be HHS secretary. Pure embarrassment.
New Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar finally appeared as a guest on state television M1 for the first time ever. Here’s what he told the journalist.
“We will suspend this channel's news service. This isn't about me; I'm not seeking revenge. Our people deserve journalism that reflects the truth.”
“We will nationalize the assets given to businesspeople and foundations during the Orbán era.”
“The Mathias Corvinus Collegium Foundation, close to Orbán, was transferred 10% of MOL (oil company) and Gedeon Richter (pharmaceutical company) for free. We will take back these shares.”
“After 16 years of the Orbán era, 400,000 Hungarian children in this country are living in deep poverty.”
“President Sulyok is no longer the president of this country in my eyes or in the eyes of the people.”
(In response to the host asking about his meeting with Zelensky as a counterpoint) “I get your joke, and I even like it. But your references no longer carry any meaning.”
“According to you, Germany has collapsed, there's no internet there, people aren't even having sex. The Hungarian people were laughing at you.”
“It was said on this channel that even my young children won't talk to me, when in fact my children live with me.”
(When the host interrupted him) “No host in this studio ever dared to interrupt Hungary's most corrupt and most lying prime minister.”
(When asked about the legal basis for closing the news service) “For someone on this channel to accuse me of breaking the law looks like a thief accusing the police.”
Another day, another House Dem caucus spending big in a contested Dem primary.
This time it's #UT01, where the center-left New Democrat Coalition's PAC is putting down over $600,000 in ad reservations backing former Rep. Ben McAdams, per @AdImpact_Pol
Rare joint statement from center-left New Democrat Coalition chair Brad Schneider and Progressive Caucus chair Greg Casar on Trump's Iran comments.
"Put simply, the President is unhinged, deranged, and must be stopped."
Joint statement from New Dem Chair @RepSchneider & @USProgressives Chair @RepCasar on Trump’s claims that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if the Iranian regime does not capitulate to his demands:
“Our nation now finds itself facing the stark reality of the President of the United States openly threatening to wipe out a ‘whole civilization’ — a clear and unambiguous war crime. This comes after weeks of contradictory proclamations and phantom red lines that have consistently undermined America’s ability to bring this costly war to an end.
Put simply, the President is unhinged, deranged, and must be stopped.
President Trump’s language does not reflect the will of the American people. Threatening to murder a ‘whole civilization’ is not who we are, nor who we aspire to be.
Congress, Republicans and Democrats together, have a duty and responsibility to hold the President in check. We must immediately reconvene to take the reins from the President and end the war.”
