Obama's Last Stand Obama's Jobs Speech to a joint session of Congress on Thursday is probably his last opportunity to change the course of his failed presidency. He better go for broke. This is Obama's Last Stand.

It's the Postal SERVICE, Stupid The Postal Service is under attack by Republicans who want to see it privatized and its labor unions weakened or eliminated. Congress has made it so the Postal Service is losing money and therefore is justifying more cuts and elimination of services. But why does the Postal Service need to make a profit anyway?

Are Poor Americans People? With the Supreme Court Citizens United decision, do corporations have more standing as people than those living in poverty?

How Putin--and Trump--Ruined America The efforts of Russian President Vladimir Putin to help assist Donald Trump become president paid big dividends. America has turned into a mean, intolerant, and bitter nation, split apart into two widely divergent political and cultural factions. Putin must be happy to see the results of his interference.

It's Time to Choose: Democracy or Plutocracy? We mustn't allow campaign finance reform to slip to the bottom of our priorities. With all the other GOP election tricks, and with a favorable Democratic election in 2012, Citizens United runs the chance of being ignored. If so, Democrats and progressives will likely pay a heavy price.

The Trump Empire's Final Days Why did Donald Trump fight so hard to overturn the 2016 election? Most likely because he realized that if he were the sitting president he would be immune to criminal charges. Not so if he was out of office.

Is This How Fascism Begins? Does America have some of the same conditions that spawned fascism in the 1930s? There are similarities, enough to make us worry.

9/11: The Senseless Way We Handled It Let's not dwell too much on 9/11. In so many ways it ruined our country, especially the way we handled it afterwards.

Trump Will Not be President--It Will be His Choice There is only one logical way for Donald Trump to avoid what terrorizes him most, going to prison. Merrick Garland is probably uncomfortable with sending an ex-president to jail. The solution: a plea deal in which Trump will avoid prison, but it will have to be at the cost of agreeing not to run for president. It will be in the best interests of the country.

The Last Days of American Democracy? Democracy, as we know it in America, is in great danger. The Republican Party is nuts but they are surging. If they win back Congress in November, democracy will be in danger. They seem poised to win and Democrats appear hopeless. The Supreme Court draft resolution on abortion rights gives Democrats something to run on and energize their passive voters. Can they take advantage of this great opportunity?

Best-Case Election Scenario: The Status Quo Even if Barack Obama wins the presidency, he will likely be stuck with the same kind of Congress we have now. So don't go overboard celebrating an Obama victory...unless you enjoy Washington gridlock.

The Big Lie--History Repeating Itself The GOP appears to be doubling down on its lies and distortions of reality. But it's nothing new, as we see in a 1944 campaign speech by FDR.

Wisconsin: The Final Nail in the Coffin of American Democracy It is no longer accurate to call our political system a democracy. The money that corporations and billionaires can pour into American elections overwhelms popular will and determines who controls our government.

Hope at Last? The Path Out of the American Nightmare Two solutions, and the second must piggyback off the first, may offer hope that the decline of America could be reversed. It's a long shot, but there are signs that a reawakening is upon us.

Even Best-Case Election Scenarios Not Very Promising Even if the Democrats sweep the 2012 election, the best-case scenario, the path toward a theocratic police state corporatocracy will only be slowed, not stopped.

Should We Know Why the Government Can Decide to Kill Us? Does the CIA have a right to assassinate a U.S. citizen without due process? This is a question that should come up in the confirmation hearing for CIA director nominee John Brennan and this policy needs to be reexamined.
