Post Politics Now: Senate poised to pass chips bill; Justice Department probing Trump

National Democratic strategists are encouraging their candidates to use the Roe decision as a catalyst to frame all issues facing Americans — from economic woes to health care to voting rights — as threats to their freedoms.

A Post analysis found a marked increase in the term “freedom” being used in social media messaging of Democratic leaders and left-wing influencers and organizations since the leak of the draft Supreme Court ruling in early May, and a dramatic spike in use after Roe was overturned.

Dan Pfeiffer, former White House communications director for President Barack Obama, suggested in his Substack newsletter that Democrats release a comprehensive policy plan and call it the “American Freedom Agenda.” He said internal party polls show freedom, especially around abortion and the Jan. 6, 2021, riots at the Capitol, “is a powerfully persuasive message.”
