Happy Friday! We wanted to take a minute to talk about priorities:
✅ Democrats passed legislation to make the ultra-wealthy and big corporations start to pay their fair share
❌ 221 House Republicans voted this week to undo legislation to make the ultra-wealthy and big corporations start to pay their fair share in taxes, at the expense of middle-class Americans -- and add $114 billion to the deficit
The contrast between the parties couldn’t be clearer. The DNC is already laying the groundwork to take back the House in 2024, but we need your help. The early support of this grassroots team helped make the investments Democratic candidates need to win up and down the ballot, and now we’re counting on you to donate $10 to claim your Official 2023 DNC Membership Card.

Your support is crucial to winning back the House and continuing to build a better America. Keep reading to see the progress President Biden and Democrats have made this week →
PRESIDENT BIDEN’S ECONOMIC PLAN IS WORKING
Democrats are building an economy from the bottom up and the middle out. The most recent Consumer Price Index report showed annual inflation has been declining for the past six months in a row -- and that’s not all. Take a look at what else the report showed:
📉Annual inflation fell to 6.5%, the lowest level since October 2021
⛽Gas is down more than $1.70 from its peak
🍔Food inflation is slowing
🚙The cost of goods is falling as prices for electronics and used cars come down
President Biden is committed to lowering costs for the American people and giving middle-class families a little more breathing room, and it’s clear he’s delivering.
CELEBRATING TWO YEARS OF BIDEN-HARRIS
This Friday marked the two-year anniversary of President Biden and Vice President Harris’s inauguration. In 2020, we protected our House majority, flipped the Senate, and won back the White House. And in the two years since, the Biden-Harris team and congressional Democrats have worked to pass historic legislation to build our nation back better than before.

This progress is thanks to this grassroots team. Because of your support of the DNC and their voter protection efforts, organizing, and data and technology efforts, we’ve elected Democrats at every level across the country -- so thank you!
SETTING RECORDS FOR NEW SMALL BUSINESSES
President Biden’s first two years in office have been the two greatest years for new small business applications on record. With the unemployment rate matching a 50-year low and the two strongest years of job creation on record, this is just the latest confirmation that the president’s economic plan is working.
To celebrate the creation of over 10 million new small business applications during his presidency, President Biden ordered lunch from a local restaurant. Take a look:
