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.

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…

Victims are ‘slipping through the cracks’ of Utah’s domestic violence law
To better identify escalating domestic abuse and intervene before it’s too late, Utah gave police a new mandate three years ago: ask 11 questions, and when the answers indicate the danger is high, bring in confidential advocates quickly. But thousands of Utahns deemed to be at high risk are not getting immediate help through the program, according to data provided by the Utah Domestic Violence Coalition and interviews with advocates.

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.

Don't be fooled into thinking that a "free market" only exists when corporations get to "self-regulate" and do whatever they want. And don't be led to think that the government is "intruding" into the market when it crafts laws to protect the public. The real issue is power — and who has it.

Hardworking NW Ohio farmers, producers, and growers are getting run over by the President’s tariff agenda. Farmers are getting squeezed on both sides by high input costs and dropping profits caused by the war in Iran and unnecessary trade wars. The Administration should fight FOR us, not against us.
