Read MoreSymone Sanders-Townsend: Gaza Protests are Similar To Black Lives Matter in 2016
As the Presidential race continues to heat up, a growing grassroots political movement has increasingly taken center stage.

Read MoreThe Populist Left Is Much Bigger Than AOC, Sanders, and Warren
Sanders did far, far better than expected but still fell short, a result with myriad explanations—including, in some small part, Warren’s decision not to endorse him (a calculation that earned her vitriolic blowback but serious vice presidential consideration by the Clinton camp). Yet his insurgent campaign—and the ultimate victory of Donald Trump—fundamentally altered the American […]

Read MoreBernie Sanders Reveals His Plan to Make Big Pharma Squirm
I think there will be bipartisanship. You’re already seeing it. Again, on the primary care bill, which Senator Cassidy voted against, we did have three Republicans out of 10 Republicans.

Many on the left, meanwhile, are convinced that by opening up the Democratic Party’s tent to include people who are not totally aligned with the party’s views on civil rights or guns or fossil fuels we will compromise our movement’s fight for abortion rights, sexual and gender equality, gun safety, and climate policy. I understand […]

Read MoreCongress Has Gone Full WWE Today With Republican-Incited Brawls Nearly Breaking Out In The House And The Senate (That Bernie Sanders Had To Break Up)
Two GOP-fueled clashes have happened thus far on Tuesday, and the day is barely half over yet. Surprisingly enough as well, rootin’ tootin’ Lauren Boebert was not involved in either of these fights. Then again, she surely wants to tone down her firebrand ways after a certain “high school” insult (about her alleged promiscuity) got […]
