We the People, and the New American Civil War So we come to the end of a bitter election feeling as if we're two nations rather than one. The challenge -- not only for our president and representatives in Washington but for all of us -- is to rediscover the public good.

Trump's Threats Grow More Ominous by the Day Throughout his campaign and presidency, Trump has given cover to some of the most vile bigots in America. As he grows more desperate, he is giving them encouragement. It is our job and the job of all senators and representatives in Congress, regardless of party, and of military leaders to condemn hatred and violence in all its forms, even when the president of the United States makes excuses for it.

The Volcanic Core Fueling the 2016 Election I've known Hillary Clinton since she was 19 years old, and have nothing but respect for her. In my view, she's the most qualified candidate for president of the political system we now have. But Bernie Sanders is the most qualified candidate to create the political system we should have, because he's leading a political movement for change.

The Real Trump Scandal Was Never Collusion The essence of Trump's failure is that he has sacrificed the processes and institutions of American democracy to achieve his goals. By saying and doing whatever it takes to win, he has abused the trust we place in a president to preserve and protect the nation's capacity for self-government. Controversy over the Mueller report must not obscure this basic reality.

The Defining Moment, and Hillary Rodham Clinton Hillary Clinton should make the moral case about power: for taking it out of the hands of those with great wealth and putting it back into the hands of average working people. In these times, such a voice and message make sense politically. The 2016 election will be decided by turnout, and turnout will depend on enthusiasm.

The Election of 2012: Why the Most Important Issues May Be Off the Table (But Should Be On It) The presidential race isn't the only one occurring in 2012. More than a third of Senate seats and every House seat will be decided on, as well as numerous governorships and state races. Making a ruckus about these issues could push some candidates in this direction -- particularly since, as polls show, much of the public agrees.

Trans Pacific Trickle-Down Economics The Trans Pacific Partnership is being sold as a way to boost the U.S. economy, expand exports, and contain China's widening economic influence. In fact, it's just more trickle-down economics. The biggest beneficiaries would be giant American-based global corporations, along with their executives and major shareholders. What we should have learned about trickle-down economics is that nothing trickles down.

Mitt Romney and the New Gilded Age The biggest players in this system have, like Romney, made their profits placing big bets with other people's money. If the bets go well, the players make out like bandits. If they go badly, the burden lands on average workers and taxpayers. Connect the dots of casino capitalism, and you get Mitt Romney.

The Delta Variant and the Trumper Blame Game With increasing vehemence, Trump Republicans are falling back on their old game of deflecting attention by blaming immigrants crossing the southern border for U.S. COVID.

Seriously, How Dumb is Trump? Trump is a great political conman. He conned 62,979,879 Americans to vote for him in November 2016 by getting them to believe his lies about Mexicans, Muslims, African-Americans, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and all the "wonderful," "beautiful" things he'd do for the people who'd support him. And he's still conning most of them.

The 10 Steps to Impeach a President Only two presidents so far have been impeached by the House and had that impeachment go to the Senate for trial. The first was Andrew Johnson, in 1868, when the Senate came one vote short of convicting him. The next was 131 years later, in 1999, when Bill Clinton's impeachment went to the Senate. Fifty Senators voted to convict Clinton, 17 votes short of what was needed.

The Secret Big-Money Takeover of America Not only is income and wealth in America more concentrated in fewer hands than it's been in 80 years, but those hands are buying our democracy as never before -" and they're doing it behind closed doors.

The Great Decoupling of Corporate Profits from Jobs Higher corporate profits no longer lead to higher employment. We're witnessing a great decoupling of company profits from jobs. The next supply-side economist who tells you companies need more incentive (i.e. lower taxes) before they'll hire is living on another planet.

A New Year's Message Despite do-nothing congressional Republicans, we ARE making progress around the country because Americans are organizing and mobilizing. Together we can make 2014 the year we turn the tide on economic inequality.

Warren doesn't just frighten billionaires -- she scares the whole establishment Warren has repeatedly argued that taxing the super rich is the fairest and most efficient way to pay for critical needs. It would enable more parents to work, young people to become better educated, green technologies to take root, more access to healthcare, and the nation's infrastructure to be upgraded, would improve productivity.

Mike Bloomberg Takes The Debate So far Bloomberg has spent more than $300 million on campaign advertising. That's more than Hillary Clinton spent on advertising during her entire presidential run. It's multiples of what all other Democratic candidates have spent, including billionaire Tom Steyer. Bloomberg has already spent more on Facebook ads than Trump, and more than Biden, Warren, Sanders and Buttigieg combined.

The Big-Lie Coup d'Etat Obama isn't adding to the debt every day. The debt is growing because of obligations entered into long ago, many under George W. Bush -- including two giant tax cuts that went mostly to the very wealthy that were supposed to be temporary and which are still going, courtesy of Republican blackmail over raising the debt limit.

The Art of the (Trump and Putin) Deal Say you're Vladimir Putin, and you did a deal with Trump last year. Whether there was such a deal is being investigated. But if you are Putin and you did do a deal, what might Trump have agreed to do for you?
