Donald Trump is not himself the disease of our politics. He’s just the worst symptom. The disease is the system that allows corporations to buy and sell politicians so they can rig it against the rest of us. Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Mike Johnson's decision to send the House home early — again — is fueling an increasingly bitter feud with GOP Rep. Thomas Massie over whether the speaker is using the calendar to dodge politically painful votes.

Johnson-Massie feud boils over: "Why are we taking days off our calendar?"
"Speaker Johnson has vacated Congress. Like I don't need to vacate Speaker Johnson," Massie told Axios.
