Backers of Endless War Deplore That Many Trump Supporters Favor Using Violence Ever since Donald Trump became a former pres., news outlets & commentators have cited polls showing that many Republicans believe violence might be needed to save the country. As Trump's legal woes increase, so do mainstream media alarms about the specter of violent responses. But we've heard virtually nothing about connections between two decades of nonstop U.S. warfare overseas & attitudes favoring political violence at home

Showdown in Nevada as Democratic Establishment Targets Party Chair To understand the current fierce attacks on the progressive leadership of the Nevada Democratic Party, it's helpful to recall the panicked reaction from political elites three years ago when results came in from the state's contest for the presidential nomination.

So Much for the Idea That Biden Is the One to Beat the GOP in 2024 For many months, conventional media wisdom has told us that Joe Biden would be the strongest candidate to defeat Donald Trump in 2024... But now, the bottom has dropped out of that timeworn spin for Biden in the wake of the discovery of unsecured classified documents under his control, the appointment of a special counsel to investigate and the botched handling of the scandal by the White House.

The Pentagon's 20-Year Killing Spree Has Always Treated Civilians as Expendable Top U.S. officials want us to believe that the Pentagon carefully spares civilian lives while making war overseas. Such pretenses should be grimly laughable to anyone who has read high-quality journalism

Abortion Bounty Hunters in Texas Are Not 'Whistleblowers' -- They're Cruel Vigilantes As a journalist and activist, I've worked with a range of genuine whistleblowers during the last several decades. Coming from diverse backgrounds, they ended up tangling with institutions ranging from the Pentagon and CIA to the National Security Agency and the Veterans Administration. Their personalities and outlooks varied greatly, but none of them were bullies. None of them wanted to threaten or harm powerless people

Joe Biden's Relapse into Hallucinations About GOP Leaders For a while, President Biden seemed to be recovering from chronic fantasies about Republicans in Congress. But last week he had a relapse -- harming prospects for key progressive legislation and reducing the already slim hopes that the GOP can be prevented from winning control of the House and Senate in midterm elections 15 months from now. Biden's reflex has been to gladhand his way across the aisle.

Elizabeth Warren: Which Side Are You On? with corporate Democrat Joe Biden enjoying sudden momentum and mega-billionaire Mike Bloomberg joining forces with him, an urgent question hovers over Warren. It's a time-honored union inquiry: "Which side are you on?" How Warren answers that question might determine the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. In the process, she will profoundly etch into history the reality of her political character.

Biden and Bloomberg Want Uncle Sam to Defer to Uncle Scrooge If Uncle Scrooge existed as a billionaire in human form today, it's easy to picture him aligned with fellow plutocrats against the "threat" of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

The Primary Contradiction: Corporate Power vs. Progressive Populism For plutocrats, this summer has gotten a bit scary. Two feared candidates are rising. Trusted candidates are underperforming. The 2020 presidential election could turn out to be a real-life horror movie: A Nightmare on Wall Street.

Pelosi and McConnell: Cranking Up Bipartisan Madness for NATO When NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg gives his speech to the assembled members of Congress next Wednesday, you can count on the House Speaker and Senate Majority Leader to be right behind him. The bipartisan enthusiasm will be obvious -- in tribute to a militarized political culture that is vastly profitable for a few, while vastly destructive in countless ways.

Being Better Than Republicans Is Not Good Enough Winning elective power can and must be part of social movements that are engaged in wresting power away from dominant authorities in an array of walks of life while nurturing alternative institutions. Progressive power of enduring value grows from deep roots in communities, with huge potential to weaken the undemocratic power of the current oligarchy.

Joe Biden on the relaunch pad: He's worse than you thought Biden makes clear his distaste for the current progressive populist wave. "I know some want to single out big corporations for all the blame," he wrote in a blog post. "It is true that the balance has shifted too much in favor of corporations and against workers. But consumers, workers, and leaders have the power to hold every corporation to a higher standard.

The Backstory on the Pelosi Leadership Flap Pelosi is a longtime wizard at generating and funneling hundreds of millions of election-cycle dollars, and as speaker she'll wield enormous power over committee assignments. But she must keep Democratic House members minimally satisfied -- and along the way that should mean yielding more power to the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

The Ghost of Hubert Humphrey Hubert Humphrey wanted to pretend that war abroad could be compatible with a great society at home. Today, at the top of the Democratic Party, the pretense is similar, as if continual U.S. warfare overseas can coexist with some kind of decent social policy at home. The mix of delusion and deception continues to cause vast human suffering.

Russia-Baiting Pushed Trump to Attack Syria -- and Increases the Risks of Nuclear Annihilation Vast efforts to portray Donald Trump as Vladimir Putin's flunky have given Trump huge incentives to prove otherwise. Last Thursday, he began the process in a big way by ordering a missile attack on Russia's close ally Syria.
