His DOGE Agenda Would Leave Workers In Serious PovertyI like Argentina and I’ve been all over the country, not just in Buenos Aires. Up in the north, where Argentina meets Brazil and Paraguay, I visited Iguazu and then Esteros del Iberá, the second largest wetland in the world. Way in the south, at the spot closest to Antarctica, I spent a week in Tierra del Fuego. But Argentina has, once again, fallen on tough times.

— December 5, 2024 Mike Siegel's Runoff Is In 2 Weeks A day or two ago, Bernie e-mailed his supporters about how “the most important issue facing the American people and the global community is the rapid rise of oligarchy. Never before in modern history have so few had so much wealth and power. Never before has a ruling class been able to exercise that power not only in the United States but in every corner of the planet.

Trump’s Most Transactional & Transgressive Appointment YetThe Kushner family saga has reached its logical next act: Charles Kushner, pardoned felon and family patriarch, is now Trump’s choice for ambassador to France. Nothing says “diplomatic savoir-faire” like a man whose most famous business deal involved hush money, an incriminating video, and a subsequent prison sentence. If the French weren't rolling their eyes at American politics before, they’ll certainly need a chiropractor now.

When no one in Congress wanted anything to do with George Santos— and no one would sit near him— he made one friend: Matt Gaetz. And Gaetz invited him to be part of the little rejects corner than included the transgressive, “unpopular kids,” like Lauren Boebert, Anna Paulina Luna, Andy Ogles, Marjorie Traitor Greene, Eli Crane, Andy Clyde… Gaetz’s own little clique.

America would have been so different had Bernie won the Democratic nomination instead of Hillary in 2016. I have no doubt he would have beaten Trump and… where do we even start? I try to not think about how much better things would have been if elections would have turned out differently. In 2011, we referred to Norman Solomon, then running for Congress, as a perfect Blue America candidate when we introduced him to our members in a live chat.

Let’s pick up in Miami-Dade where we left off a couple months ago, when we saw an obvious legislative “flip opportunity” for the hard-pressed Democrats to pick up. Remember, Florida’s severely gerrymandered House has 84 Republicans and just 36 Democrats— a Democratic “Super-Minority”that has engendered Stockholm Syndrome in Tallahassee. HD-113 is a nice blue district in southern Miami-Dade that includes Key Biscayne, Dodge Island, Shenandoah, part of Little Havana and the part of Coconut Grove.

— September 9, 2024 There are 7,386 state legislative seats in the U.S., from just 49 in Nebraska, the only state with a unicameral legislature, to a massive 424 in New Hampshire, where each House member represents, on average, something like 3,500 people, making it possible for the Representatives to talk to each voter who wants to talk with them! At any given time, about half the members of Congress were previously members of their state legislatures.
