you know, set of fixes or policies similar to what the Republicans did in 1994 with the Contract for America, just do one You know, and I've taken a stab at this and laid it out and shared it with folks, including AOC, to say, like, look, this is, you know, where I think we build the broadest possible coalition.

And, you know, ultimately, I think that's what you're going to see over the course of the next couple of months is a more unified national effort where we're not just fighting the chaos and corruption and cruelty of Trump, but there's also a larger, really compelling vision.

So for me, there are three. One is fixing the economy, and that's one where Democrats have to, you know, come clean. This is where, you know, AOC and I are close in that, you know, are aligned.

It's what I've been talking about in my very purple district, and it's what Pat talks about. I mean, Pat, Ryan, and I, you know, This is where we sync up and all agree that the economy's been structurally broken and the idea that there were Democrats telling people it was okay and look at GDP and look at unemployment and all this other stuff. It's like, no, look at people's bank accounts.

You got to fix the economy. You got to get rid of price gouging. You got to take on corporate consolidation, all that stuff. Number two is, you know, reforms to government and politics.

We didn't, you know, the House passed a bill to end partisan gerrymandering and to end voter suppression and dark money and get money out of politics, but the Senate didn't.
