Today seems like fitting day to point out that Trump’s great grandfather was a fugitive and his mother overstayed a “vacation” as an immigrant. His grandfather was a crook and so was his father. If we want to clear the country of corrupt immigrant families, he should be first.

The challenges we face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system. We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot allow Big Money to dominate our politics and economy. And we cannot capitulate to the oligarchy.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants. Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

The Democratic Party has an opportunity to once again become the party of working Americans, rather than the party of corporate America. It is more urgent than at any time since the Great Depression that Democrats act on this opportunity.

Remember when David Hogg was running for DNC chair and the establishment stepped in and said we needed a responsible adult and then gave us Ken Martin, who throws his phone at his staffers? Also the DNC is $2 million in debt. But centrists still demand they should be in charge.

Why bother calling your Senator and telling them to vote NO on Todd Blanche for Attorney General even though Trump will keep him in the job regardless? Because history should record the NO vote. You’ll want it on the record that we rejected him. That’s why.

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.

At least 52 people have died in ICE custody since Trump returned to the White House. At least 23 people have been shot at by federal immigration agents. And thousands more have been caged, separated from their families, or shipped off to dangerous countries. The cruelty is endless.
