I fear today we no longer have a democratic republic. We have the appearance of a democracy. Proof? Look at the issues that have +50% public support that Congress won’t act on. When big corporations and wealthy donors want something, Congress jumps.

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.
Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.
Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.

If a clean ACA extension is passed, the biggest winner (other than the people who really need the insurance) will be the GOP. They will take credit for it with their voters, who will believe them, while demonstrating to their masters that they truly did everything they could to prevent it.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.

If reforming the Supreme Court isn't at the top of your presidential to-do list, you have no business running in 2028. There is precious little any administration can do to make things more affordable in the short run, outside healthcare reform, and running (mostly) on that will backfire.

Yes. We must extend the ACA tax credits so that over 20 million Americans don't see a doubling in their health premiums, on average. But we must do more. We cannot remain the only major country not to guarantee health care for all as a human right.
We must pass Medicare for All.

Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."
