Florida Wastes No Time After SCOTUS Gives A Pass On Gerrymandering Republicans know most Americans find their policies odious, so in order to win, they cheat through voter-I.D. laws, voter suppression, and plain old policies designed to do one thing--rig the system in their favor. Regardless of the form it takes, Republicans are perpetrating a concerted campaign to disenfranchise Democrats and minorities who vote for them.

A Message To Democrats: Do Not Engage In The Circular Firing Squad This is the time for Democrats to unify, not take positions in a circular firing squad as many did during the 2016 presidential cycle. Unless we want to see Trump re-elected in 2020, we need to be unified, not just appear so. Any cracks in the facade will weaken the whole establishment.

Trump's Simple Re-Election Gambit--War With Iran Although Trump's prognostication about Barack Obama starting a war with Iran was incorrect, Trump is planning on doing what he accused Obama of intending now that the House of Representatives is in full impeachment-inquiry mode and the tide of public opinion is beginning to turn against him.

Republicans Block More Election Security, Paving the Way for Russia Here we are, four months from selecting a nominee to take on Donald Trump, and it appears Russia is, once again, Trump's cheerleader. U.S. intelligence officials warned members of Congress as much in a briefing last week that precipitated Trump's accusing acting Director of National Intelligence, Joseph Maguire, of "disloyalty," and firing him.

Thanks to COVID-19, Universal Basic Income is a Thing Again Far from a panacea, Universal Basic Income, coupled with a federal jobs program, has the potential to reinvigorate the economy and our lifestyles. As we jettison jobs in this current crisis--some that may never return--we need to do something progressive to keep the economy humming and people secure. In light of the mess we're in, conversations about it are resuming. Could we see it nationwide within our lifetimes?

Trump Admits Pimping Out US Military To S. Korea and Saudia Arabia If you're a veteran or current member of the U.S. military, would you mind being rented to another country? How would it feel to be a soldier for hire, fighting not for the country you signed up to defend, but another, for someone else's political agenda? Last week, Donald Trump bragged about accepting $1 billion from Saudi Arabia and South Korea in exchange for American military protection.

The Supreme Court Just Put Immigrants In the Crosshairs--Again In August, the Trump administration ramped up its next phase in the war on immigrants when it decided to deny green cards or visas to immigrants who rely on public benefits like SNAP benefits, Medicaid, and Section-8 housing.

Think We Can't Afford the Green New Deal? We Can't Afford Not To We can't broker any more dithering when it comes to the climate. Cries of "We can't afford a Green New Deal!" are not only ridiculous; they're hypocritical. If we can afford handing the wealthy and corporations a $1.5 trillion permanent tax cut, we can afford an FDR New Deal-style economic overhaul that will transform our energy grids away from fossil fuels.
