Tim Snyder is correct: If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money and tackle our corrupt system. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

We fight for democracy by showing up, not just where winning is easy, but where someone has been told not to even bother. I ran in one of those places, and I lost, but the next Democrat won’t have to start from scratch. Now imagine doing that in every district. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

The Trump administration paid federal workers $9.5 BILLION to not work in 2025, as part of Elon Musk’s DOGE effort to cut federal spending and the federal workforce. DOGE was an abject failure for those goals, but the damage and chaos it left behind was very real. Watch.

Republicans have done nothing to bring down the cost of fuel, food, or pharmaceuticals. Right now, the only people Republicans seem to be prioritizing are Trump and his cronies. If they were truly working for the American people, they wouldn’t need to buy their loyalty. We deserve better. Period.
