This month, 18 House Republicans submitted a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) urging him not to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act’s clean energy tax credits if Republicans maintain or expand their House majority in this year's election. They emphasized that these “energy tax credits have spurred innovation, incentivized investment, and created good jobs in...many districts represented by members of our conference.”
These Republicans are likely reacting to a repe...

Whitmer says people ‘reading too much’ into price gouging plan specifics
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said on Sunday people are “reading too much” into the specifics of the price-gouging plan from the Harris-Walz campaign, amid backlash from pundits and Vice President Harris’s political opponents.

Trump continues personal attacks against Harris: ‘I’m a better looking person’
Former President Trump campaigned in the battleground state of Pennsylvania on Saturday and went after Vice President Harris’s physical appearance as his Republican allies have pushed him to instead focus on the policy differences with his political opponent.
“I am much better looking than her,” Trump told supporters at a rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. “I’m a better-looking person than Kamala.”

Speaking in North Carolina, Harris vowed that under her administration, Medicare negotiations would continue and grow to encompass all Americans, not only Medicare beneficiaries.

Harris’s economic pitch could cost $1.7 trillion: Analysis
Vice President Harris’s recent proposals laid out as part of her Agenda to Lower Costs for American Families could increase the nation’s deficits by $1.7 trillion over a decade, a new analysis found, though the campaign is vowing offsets through taxes on the rich.

Harris campaign mocks Trump for ‘whatever that was’ speech at Bedminster
Vice President Harris’s campaign hit former President Trump over his remarks Thursday, arguing he lied and wouldn’t defend his agenda.
The Harris campaign’s email in response to Trump had the subject line, “Statement on Trump’s…Whatever That Was.”

During his press conference at his Bedminster, N.J., property, Trump was asked by multiple journalists about criticism from some Repu...
To repair our fiscal foundation, we need to bend the health care cost curve
Willie Sutton famously explained (in a possibly apocryphal quotation) that he robbed banks because “that’s where the money is.” If he turned his attention to the federal budget, he’d start with health care.
Our total national debt has ballooned to nearly $35 trillion – the highest level in U.S. history. This translates to over a quarter of a million dollars — $265,838 to be exact — of accumulated liabilities for every American household.

Is a political pivot now a career-ender?
America is wrestling with an age-old question: is it OK to change your mind, especially if you’re in politics?
For a politician to alter their stance on an issue can either be taken as a sign of evolving wisdom or an indication that the person is a chameleon constantly changing colors — something experts say can be a source of discomfort for many.
Politicians are often charged with “pivoting” on issues, but knowing when it is a major U-turn or a slight de...
