"Chuck and I grew up, literally, in the same [Brooklyn] neighborhood. I am older than Chuck, but we went to the same elementary school, the same high school. We were on the Banking Committee together when I was first elected to Congress. So I have known Chuck for a long time, and I like Chuck, personally. He’s a very nice guy. But, I think, in this moment in American history, Chuck’s views are way out of touch with where the American people are at—and especially with where [the base of] the Democratic Party is. On issue after issue, I think he is just not in tune with where his constituents are at." thenation.com/article/politi…

Jon Stewart tells Bernie Sanders why he thinks Medicare for All would be so transformative in America:
“To remove insurance from employment or underinsurance from lack of employment would be one of the greatest drivers of liberty that Americans have experienced in decades”

The way folks are playing the game of where to relocate the Montréal MLS franchise is sick.
Franchise scarcity is a plight on the North American landscape.
One of the NASL clubs converted to a MLS franchise, the single-entity couldn’t care less for the markets it exploits.

ALT Reagan is pointing at a graph showing a declining trend. The image includes large text that discusses economic impacts involving Reagan, Bush, and Trump, mentioning significant wealth transfer from the middle class to the wealthy since the Reagan era, according to Thom Hartmann.

The Democratic Party needs a new and bold direction. I will not support Chuck Schumer’s reelection as Democratic leader.

Get these teams out of MLS and build an open Canadian system.
It would be tremendous, not tragic.
MLS needs to get rid of as many northern teams as they can to make the calendar change easier. They may be willing to negotiate the exit of Canadian sides.
Go for it.
@MarkJCarney wants to align with Europe. This is one awesome way. Don’t be deer in the MLS headlights.

Poll after poll shows Americans support Medicare for All.
66% - KFF poll
59% - Wall Street Journal poll
60%, including 87% of Democrats - Economist-YouGov poll
It’s time for Democratic leadership to listen to the American people and PASS IT.

As an immediate first step to Medicare for All, the new Democratic Congress must lower the Medicare eligibility age to 55, cover all kids & expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing.
All of this can be passed with 51 votes in the Senate through reconciliation. Let’s do it.

Centrism did not win the Democratic party the election
theguardian.com/us-news/2026…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Moderate Democrats vastly overperformed their expected margins.
All DSA-aligned candidates underperformed.
DSA-endorsed candidates ran against Democrats in the general election, not Republicans, and didn't flip a single House or Senate seat from Republican to Democrat.

The public option sounds like a step toward universal health care, but it’s really a delay tactic.
The latest versions would force public plans to mimic private insurers, while the fight over the arcane details buys the industry another decade or two. jacobin.com/2026/11/public-o…

🇺🇸 Thousands march through Times Square under “No Schumer, No Jeffries” signs after Democrats win the House and Senate
It's called "March for Our Democracy", and it celebrates the midterm results while pressuring the party’s incoming leadership.
Progressive groups are calling for contested votes instead of automatically returning Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to their posts.
The split within the Democratic Party is now openly visible, even before the new Congress takes office.
