It’s batshit to me that the far left think they can win national, statewide, or even local races across this country w/out building a coalition that includes moderates. I’m a progressive. But I know calling moderates names doesn’t win them over, it just shrinks your coalition.

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Another priority for Trump was painting the exterior columns white in place of what he had deemed a “fake gold color.” Former employees report that the center diverted money — $1.4 million — that had been allocated for the waterproofing repairs to finance the $4.4 million column repainting project.

Do you know how much the pay of CEOs at major companies has skyrocketed since 1978? 50%? 100%? 500%? Try 1,316% Meanwhile, the typical workers’ compensation increased only 28%. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
