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.

A major win! A federal court in Texas today temporarily blocked the Trump administration from building a border wall and other infrastructure across the state’s Big Bend region. The fight isn’t over, but this is a big step toward protecting Big Bend!
