But NOT the "Old Guard" like Schumer or Jeffries!! Let's get that settled. Nadler is a REAL progressive, New Deal Dem. Not a corporate DLC/Third Way type.

A New Deal/Great Society warrior! Not a neolib/corporate Dem. We need more to follow Nadler's example and legacy in Congress! We're losing one of the greats!
Third Way has gotta love Nate Silver comments....
So you drove away that much investment? And created hundreds of thousands of jobs elsewhere, outside this country? Sustainable green investment and jobs...in China....🙃
Bernie remembers and believes in FDR's economic bill of rights. As does AOC, and Mamdani. It should be the soul of the Dem party, and still is for a lot of us.
Hmmm? The DNC and Dem leadership have also been in the chokehold of the corporate centrist DLC/New Dem/Third Way crowd for over thirty years and their donors. And that is a real problem! We need candidates to seize traditional FDR economic bill of rights values, over corporate, business interests.
That is so cool. The best part would be if he gets some of your mail 😉
Biden always enjoys interacting with people and genuinely seemed to care. It was always nice knowing it wasn't all about him.
If only we had this opportunity at Reagan's gravesite. Maybe my next vacation would be to California... It certainly doesn't match Yosemite, the Redwoods, or the Golden Gate in grandeur. And yet, it is the one California "rest stop" on my bucket list.
But Professor Reich, I respect the heck out of you and hate to disagree. This isn't all about Trump. This is about Heritage Foundation, their cronies running this regime, and the oligarchs behind them. They need to be destroyed, as well as Trump! They wrote Project 2025,and the executive orders.
I wish the richest families and corporations in America thought about the judgement of history before supporting social darwinist thugs like Heritage and Project 2025......but the rats spreading the bubonic plague failed to consider history's judgement as well.
Trump is the puppet. Russell Vought and Stephen Miller are behind the curtains.
Don't rush to assumptions. I think the 29 day orders is like slow eating demoralizing acid. And who knows what is going on in the minds of the NG? My fingers are crossed.
China has blown the cobwebs off old US research, made the investment and now can build Thorium, molten salt cooled reactors. It is a great green energy accomplishment, and they deserve the economic boost they will get. These reactors can even help consume old nuclear waste.
I wish and hope too... against all evidence and feelings in my gut to the contrary.. But so far they look "all in" on Project 2025 with Heritage and the oligarch donors, bought and paid for.
I've heard some of these clowns say they'd make them all toll roads. Believe me, they'll privatize everything they can overcharge for and make money on.
Well, Stephen Miller gets time to play in the sand box too. And I'm sure they let Kevin Roberts in too since it's "his"bloodless revolution, as long as us leftists allow it.
The GOP will never take action. Anyone expecting the GOP to be responsible, conscientious, caring, etc, will be waiting long after hell freezes over for action from them. Then, they'll still be waiting.
We don't need no goddamn regulations.. everyone loves clean air and water...even the coal power plant operators...sure, just open another landfill for all the plastic....
Yet people love these libertarian thugs and their ideas of freedumb. They really think they are all going to get rich someday.
Exactly!! Lankford knows better, he knows he's lying, we know he's lying, he probably knows a lot of us know he's lying. We saw a glimmer of respectability from him on the immigration bill with Biden. But if Lankford had any self respect left, he should have ran from this shit show a long time ago.
Project 2025 is Heritage's baby. And Russell Vought, Stephen Miller, Kevin Roberts are the cronies behind the regime pulling the strings. The GOP is bought off and all in.
A right wing, conservative, social darwinist GOP think tank that has been around since before Reagan, financed by the richest families and corporations in America,i.e. the oligarchy. Their goal is an Ayn Rand, libertarian Fantasyland on steroids. A social darwinist hell hole.
They are getting obvious on staff sabotage aren't they.
Trump really screwed the pooch economically with the tariffs. My only question is, was it intentional? BRICS is seducing our former friends.
Are they going to put a 24 hr live cam on it or a security guard??🙄
1) Project 2025 2) Big Beautiful Bill 3) DOGE 4) being puppet to Heritage Foundation and oligarch donors 5) Traitor to Ukraine, NATO, and all friends and allies 6) Epstein files 7) Everyone has their own list and order of importance Anything obvious that I missed is in #1, I guarantee it.
China IS doing renewable. The US reopens expensive obsolete nuclear reactors. China dusted the cobwebs off US research, made the investment and now will have Thorium molten salt cooled reactors that are safe and efficient. Automotive is years ahead of US. What a boost for China's economy!
That quote is indeed scary in the evil ways it is often used. It's was a favorite for the same clowns who loved using the word "bootstraps". They were disingenuous too.
Considering Heritage Foundation and their social darwinism, good luck with that!
Damn correct. They say thoughts and prayers and forget they have the power to do something to alleviate the situation. God works through people. GOP dumbasses.
I went to DC June 6th and saw the vets and family of vets and VA workers and even VA doctors gathered there. I don't think they will roll over and take this. They believe in the system like I do and know it's worth fighting for. The vets are a large percentage of those standing up right now.
The Heritage Foundation and their oligarch donors want to do away with all government social programs. They are social darwinists. Russell Vought at OMB has anyone who gets anything from a gov't program in his sight. They have planned this since Reagan targeted VA emergency services in the '80s.
We have more power to fix the VA system than we do the private system. Except with the social darwinist GOP who don't believe in the VA.
You can disagree. I have personal experience too through my father who was a 100% service connected disabled vet and we've known many people too. Basically, I can find multiple horror stories from the private sector for every VA horror story. And I'm going to be on the VA system over private always.
It's actually the reverse. The private sector is more expensive and the care is crappy. The private sector is not as experienced or capable of handling the specific ailments and needs of the veteran community. What you said is always the GOP line for selling their bullshit.
We need a new generation of progressive consultants to replace the centrist, moderate, corporate friendly consultants that go back to the days of the DLC and the New Dems. It's time for them to go.
Andres is very deserving to be honest.
Maybe someday we'll have a new President and Congress, and we can impeach a few of the Supremes. Then we can go after DOGE and send all the people who tapped into all this data to prison for a long time.
The Third Way corporate centrist Dems are slightly better than the GOP. But to be perfectly honest, they really are a big part of the overall problem. Just saying.... Three decades of these milquetoast moderates running the DNC and Dem leadership is long enough. It's time for them to go.
Love Rev Sharpton, he is an imperfect vessel to be sure, he plays hard to get, but Mamdani appreciates him for who he is, respects him and the causes he represents, and it's a beautiful thing to watch. There is so much going on under the surface watching Sharpton and Mamdani together. fascinating.
Everyone involved with Heritage, including their oligarch donors,should be arrested and charged with treason. Project 2025 is a blueprint for human rights violations and crimes against humanity.
It's time to go back to traditional Dem party progressive values. Not corporate/market based solutions when the market IS the problem, as with healthcare. It's time to grasp FDR's economic bill of rights like Bernie, AOC, Mamdani and many of our progressives. Economic rights are human rights.
Hmmm. So for 3 decades we've been hearing what you're pitching from the DLC/NewDem/Third Way corporate centrist dominated Dem leadership and DNC. The Dems have been barely playing defense, health care reform has been on "market- ins industry"terms, working with, more than offense.
I like Sharpton too, but he isn't perfect, he makes mistakes, has acted for political reasons in the past when I think he should have known better... But Mamdani amazes me. I think he "sees Sharpton for who he is", appreciates him, and has reached out to him sincerely, respectfully and masterfully.
Jeffries, Schumer and the establishment types would use Third Way, corporate centrist talking points of promoting the "middle class" and why we can't achieve "economic rights as human rights." They really don't want to get caught up in that conversation.
Looks like a bit of Florida mindset also, eww....
Damn right it's the human heart! It's people like Little Mikey that don't have one. Look in the mirror, asshole!!
Truth.......
The GOP is bought and paid for by Heritage Foundation to do nothing but to enable a social darwinist Fantasyland.
Lake Superior is delightful. But enough with the BS! No pollution?? There are a number of areas with debris some toxic from mining operations, from decades ago that still pose potential issues. As wonderful as Lake Superior is, there is still work to be done to clean things up.
You can't threaten the corporate centrist stranglehold that Third Way and the affluent corporate donors have on the DNC and Dem leadership without consequences. They like their over three decades domination.
Sadly that will require control of Congress, or for the GOP congress members to turn on their masters or extreme pro gun beliefs.
Fools and idiots.
Maybe, the Feds are intentionally committing public health malpractice and not keeping the public informed. So the masses think it's business as usual, Covid is the past, and they live in ignorance until it hits someone close to them.
Hope Canada and Mexico have excess doses available. I hope they plan for it. The last thing we need is black market, bogus or tainted vaccines shots at inflated prices taking advantage of people.
If you live with someone high risk, you should get the vaccine, just like healthcare workers. Talk to your health provider. This is BS!
All of us who are able, may be traveling to the borders with Canada and Mexico to beg for Covid vaccines before this is over. Junk science and nonsense is going to suffocate public health in the US.
If it did, it simply shows mental illness can be a problem in every country. Some people are attracted to evil, rotten characters.... DeSatan?... I mean, c'mon ...
How long before... And how far between banners..... Putting down words before thoughts fully verbalized...lol .
So how long between these banners are all over DC. I remember seeing the one at the Dept of Agriculture flanked by the one of Abe Lincoln. All I could think of is fascist banners in dictator run countries...
Canada may have to restrict Americans to make sure they have enough for Canadians. I hope they are paying attention, and out of the goodness of their hearts work with Moderna to make sure there is availability for those of us who will cross the border in desperation.
If AOC keeps echoing FDR on economic rights being human rights, I'll scrape up what I can. The Third Way, corporate centrist DNC on the other hand and their centrist campaign committees can kiss my ass.
Moron...As if we can't follow AIPAC money! We can follow the money...
This is terrifying, people in education should be fighting back. Prager U is warped propaganda that undermines truth and science. Of course, it is hard to have enough anger to go around these days.
He'll be a puppet for Heritage, Vought and Miller just like Trump. They don't need votes as much now.
Shit flows downhill. Third Way and the corporate donors will raise a fuss with the DNC and Dem leadership and make them miserable. Aww...too bad...
As a bleeding heart FDR New Deal Dem, I fully endorse your message. FDR's economic bill of rights should be the platform of the party, no excuses! Damn these Third Way corporate centrists and their CONSULTANTS all to hell!!!!!
China is going to give Trump a medallion 🏅 for allowing them to lead the world in sustainable energy, and boosting their economy in the process. Their auto industry is years ahead and now unchallenged by the US thanks to Trump and the Heritage hoodlums.
Whatever they are, they are the evil spawn of the DLC and New Dems and have only enabled the Ayn Rand fan club, Heritage Foundation and their oligarch donors over he past three decades.
But I agree that corporate centrists and Third Way like their predecessors have been like a termite infestation to the Dem Party.
Biden as President was more progressive in his old age. He ended up the most progressive president of my lifetime. He even pissed off Third Way with his progressive staffing choices. He wasn't perfect, but did a lot of good that Trump and Heritage have been unraveling.
Third Way is annoying and needs to be dealt with like a cockroach infestation. Damn corporate centrists will allow the social darwinists to run everything.
Well, the DNC and Dem leadership have been in the chokehold of the centrist Third Way and their predecessors, their corporate, affluent donors, for over three decades. They expect our support, but tell us we have nowhere else to go, and our desires are not realistic.
Damn it, not now Arnold! We're fighting social darwinist thugs, building an Ayn Rand Fantasyland.
So glad to see PM Carney going to Ukraine. It will be meaningful for him, Canada, Ukraine, and the world. Elbows Up! Slava Ukraini!
LMAO! He is the last asshole to bestow the label on others, ha, ha, ha.......
So if the Trumpsters and MAGA have a problem with the teaching about slavery in the USA, then they really are going to complain if we are honest about the genocidal behavior towards Native Americans in USA history.
This damn well better go to court. Those responsible for stopping it need to be sued. There is no justification for this!
Signing bonuses for EMS drivers?
With coming medicaid cuts will be the nursing home apocalypse. EMS drivers will evict the residents from nursing homes, they will be refused by ER's, shelters, have no family to care for them. In the dark wee hours, they will be lowered to the ground in a dark corner or sidewalk with blanket.
Any hope of going to court to stop them? When it's this close to completion, this is the forces of evil sending a message... Economically, globally, on green, sustainable energy, I want China to go wild and embarrass, humiliate, dominate, and pound the USA into the dust on a global scale now.
As a history major who has always taken history seriously, yet always could appreciate the silly and humorous moments in it...I need a drink!! He is such a a stupid, moronic, idiot...and these people are f..ing DANGEROUS!!!!
It's frustrating. We need to protect these areas, yet people need to be able to respectfully visit and appreciate these places while they still can. We must find a way to protect and yet regulate how access happens so we tread lightly.
This needs to change. This is why Dems will lose as long as Third Way corporate centrists control the DNC and Dem leadership. FDR's economic bill of rights must be the backbone of the platform. We have a right to healthcare! And that means a universal single payer system.
Mamdani is addressing a major problem here that goes back to Reagan and the GOP trashing the mental health treatment system in this country. This is a better way to communicate the problem than the call to "defund the police" which scares some people, and fails to explain the issue.
Mamdani, AOC, and Bernie seem to be aware of FDR's economic bill of rights. The Third Way corporate centrists have a real aversion to being reminded of such things. FDR is too radical for them.
That's trickle down and the Heritage Foundation's goal to be perfectly honest. And if we stare at the big pile too long and consider the real issue, that would be theft by taxation. How dare we!
You can thank the DLC/New Dem/Third Way corporate coddling crowd who have had the chokehold over the DNC and Dem leadership for over three decades for that. They lost the plot when they self neutered after Reagan. And I for one, won't ever let them forget it!
The "big beautiful" American healthcare system has become a larger cause of divorce than most people realize. The politicians always speak of providing "access" to healthcare. We still can't afford it! The hell with access, we deserve a right to healthcare, without the fear of inability to pay.
This Prager stuff is scary, tainted and rancid. 🫣
It's hard to keep track of who is sold out to who. Trump is a puppet for Heritage Foundation, their oligarch donors, and Putin. The GOP is bought and paid for and all in with Heritage on Project 2025.
Just another stupid doing to be undone IF sane leadership returns to power. Damn that list is getting long. We need a Project 2028 or something to hyperdrive steamroller policies, agencies, and the government itself back into functional sanity in as short a time as possible.
Then the government needs changing. Because the government is supposed to be "We the people.." and how the hell "We" got suckered into standing for this "shit show" is a sad and tragic story.
Nauseating how they piss on government doing good for people. Especially when it would be more cost effective and provide an overall better quality of life as a result.
Isn't over 3 decades of the same old shit from the DLC/New Dems/Third Way centrist corporate cuddling crew enough?
We pledged to guarantee Ukraine security when they did nuclear disarmament. Case closed. Enough with Trump insinuating that Ukraine should appease Putin. No way!!
That quote sounds like the goal of Project 2025....
I always liked hearing Ron's thoughts and insights. I think the work Ron Jr did then would be up there with those doing the best podcasts today.
I have always appreciated listening to Jesse Ventura. It's always made me a little sad he didn't have better opportunities for us to benefit from his wisdom, insight, and thinking.I may not always agree with him, but he "gets it" a lot.
