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.

The greatest proof that polls don’t vote but people do is that we would not be in this hell if the polls were right We would have had a President Hillary Clinton And then a President Kamala Harris

Is it too much to want a Defense Secretary focused on ending the war in Iran, instead of whatever this is?

"It could chill rights of contractors to make political contributions" -- unearthed footage shows Susan Collins in 2012 fighting to protect contractors from having to disclose political contributions (we recently learned she was under investigation for a pay-to-play scheme involving a contractor)

CNN on the last jobs report before the midterms: "It came in cold -- surprisingly cold. Job growth weaker than expected, unemployment unexpectedly went up, and paychecks aren't keeping up with prices. This was disappointing all around."

When I get down about what has become of journalism, of speaking the truth, I think of Jamal. I lost my Washington Post job. Jamal lost his life. Both of us — all we wanted to do was write and help people.

Trump decided not to cede operational control of the Strait of Hormuz to Tehran in exchange for an end to the war and concessions on Iran’s nuclear development program. That extended the war with no end in sight. We are not in control, anything else is a mirage. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

The GOP Sells the Mirage of a Hormuz Victory
The American action in the contested strait isn’t sustainable—and won’t alter the economic and political fallout from its closure.

1/ Germany. Britain. Australia. The US 4 countries, 4 scandals that look unrelated. But they all run on one trick for hiding who really pays for politics, and the people using it keep telling regulators they followed the rules. Let's connect the dots 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

10/ Now line the two cases up. Germany: an association gets named, not the people behind it. Britain: a son gets named, not his father, and a US shell pays, not the party. Different tools, one move: put a name on the form that isn't the source of the money. The law checks the label, not the origin
