2028: Democrats Need A New Deal For A New Era
By 2028 the Democratic Party must stop running as a cautious maintenance crew and instead offer an unapologetic governing vision that begins with abolishing the filibuster to enable majority rule, then moves swiftly into universal government-backed health care, aggressive antitrust enforcement, modern gun safety laws, and a rebalanced tax code that raises rates on billionaires…

A holiday travel season, a church-centered cluster, and a virus that does not care about your Facebook degree in “doing your own research.” In the Upstate of South Carolina, public health officials are doing the thing we always swear we want government to do, quietly, competently, with clipboards and contact tracing and the slow dread

A rare intraparty “no” lands in the middle of the national gerrymander arms race, and suddenly everyone is pretending they just love local control again.
