Technology's Progressive Future. Making sure all Americans benefit from technology. Not just another business group.
Seems aligned with what @TahraHoops and @GaryWinslett have been saying...
A political party that wants to win elections needs to understand this: there's no way around the hard work of cultural alignment. It's time for Dems to embrace "Big-Ass-Truck abundance," alongside "High-Speed-Rail abundance."
I wrote the case for Abundance Democrats to engage in the debate over cultural issues — a key part of the left-populist pitch inside the coalition is the false promise that populist economics will let you get away being out of touch on values issues.
Lawmakers like @RepJoshHarder correctly see that the solution to rising energy costs is less bureaucratic red tape. No surprise that he's a founding member of the Build America Caucus >>
We need less process when it comes to permitting solar & wind, not more. This will raise already sky-high electricity prices and is a step in the wrong direction.
Generating more energy lowers costs for all Americans. Congratulations @RepKimSchrier on this win for lower energy prices >>
GREAT NEWS: My bipartisan bill to improve efficiency and transparency in the hydropower relicensing process passed the House this week! As energy demand continue to goes through the roof, the bill will help us meet the moment by streamlining this process.

BIG WIN: The House just voted to pass the CLARITY Act and GENIUS Act, which will enhance consumer protections and establish clear guidelines for crypto. More than 70 pro-innovation Dems voted for CLARITY and more than 100 Dems voted for GENIUS.
Thank you @SenGaryPeters for highlighting staffing shortages at NHTSA and the critical role the agency plays in our competition with China. Autonomous vehicles are the future of transportation. We cannot fall behind.

It shouldn't take decades of paperwork to move forward with new power line projects. We have to get permitting reform moving and make it easier to build new energy and infrastructure.
A new, bipartisan House caucus aligned with the "abundance" movement is taking on permitting reform — one of Congress' thorniest policy issues in recent years. And in a notable shift, multiple Dems are eyeing NEPA as a potential target. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eenews…
Making it easier to build homes near our transit stations is a win-win that gives us more resources to invest – in our families, our communities and infrastructure. Without action, the affordability crisis, housing crisis, and climate crisis will only get worse. Read for more…
Reducing health care costs consistently ranks as a top issue for Americans. Thank you @GovernorShapiro for taking this action. Other states should take note and implement similar programs!
For too long, unnecessary red tape limited opportunity for health care workers who wanted to serve. But now, doctors, nurses, and physical therapists from more than 40 states can come to Pennsylvania and get their license in just days — instead of waiting months. This is real…
