I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

Wait, a man who drove his wife to suicide by proving how popular he is with the ladies stole money from black kids for their health to fund an entourage to prove how important he is? It's *almost* as if RFK, Jr. is a truly horrible, insecure person!

If a politician takes money from weapons manufacturers, don't be surprised when they back weapons contracts. If a politician takes money from Big Pharma, don't be surprised when they try to stop guaranteed healthcare. That's why I don't take ANY corporate money. None.

“Dopesick” author Beth Macy was thinking about retirement. Then she decided to run for Congress. Now she’s taking her reporter’s notebook across Virginia, talking to farmers, business owners, and families about what they’re facing. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Can the author of ‘Dopesick’ topple a House Republican?
In her very red district, Beth Macy is hoping that voters will see her dedication to helping struggling Americans—like the type of people she’s written about for years.

Every Republican in Congress owns what Trump has done, is doing and is going to do. The vast majority of it would not have been possible without their collective acquiescence and enabling. He’s emboldened by the fact that Congress refuses to function as a separate branch of govt.
