Why do pundits keep insisting that Democrats move even further right, when the evidence is right here that voters—and especially fed-up non-voters—want policies that actually support them?! | Jim Hightower

Call the roll: Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett. In case after case, these six Supreme Court justices rule for corporate power over working people. An independent study found that two-thirds of Roberts Court rulings favor the wealthy. Jim Hightower's verdict? A 'plutocratic cabal.' What do you think should be done about this? Take action with Alliance for Justice, Common Cause and Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law Link in comments for the full commentary. | Jim Hightow

Pentagon contractors have rigged the system so soldiers can't even repair their own weapons in the field. If a drone fails or a rocket malfunctions, troops must call a corporate-approved tech or ship the equipment back to the manufacturer. Corporate profiteers have made this taxpayer theft legal. U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren's Warrior Right to Repair Act would fix this, but Mike Rogers and Adam Smith—who rake in hundreds of thousands from defense contractors—just killed it. How many other laws

An obscure trillion-dollar tech boss just called you foolish for questioning his AI takeover. He's not shy about the plan: remake the economy in AI's image, and he says it straight out, it's about profits, not people. He's not alone either. Huang, Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg: same tune, different verse. Get out of our way, they say. Are you

Mark Zuckerberg is spending $600 billion to plop massive AI data centers in our communities. His Meta empire already runs 26 of these monsters. Now he's launched a multimillion-dollar offensive — TV ads, lobbyists, fake "community affairs" agents — to ram through more against local opposition. But a groundswell of alley cats has these fat cats on the run. Ready to fight back?

They said they'd stop insider trading. Then they introduced a bill to legalize it. Rep. Bryan Steil introduced the "Stop Insider Trading Act" after GOP Rep. Rob Bresnahan got caught profiting from gutting Medicaid. But Steil's bill lets members keep trading stocks in corporations they oversee - and allows spouses to trade on their behalf. His excuse? A real ban would discourage wealthy executives from "public service." That's the point. Read the full commentary at the link in the comments, and t

70% of nursing homes are now run by Wall Street profiteers who've never worked in elder care. They demand "efficiencies" - which means fewer nurses. Fewer nurses means more injuries, illness, and deaths. As one expert says: "It's criminal." But it's not against the law. The industry donates heavily to Congress, so Congress lets them operate with just ONE nurse on duty - no matter how many patients need care. After all, your grandmother doesn't make campaign donations. Should profiteering be lega

Even in TEXAS, solar power now provides more electricity than coal. Despite everything corrupt politicians tried to stop it, renewable energy is crushing fossil fuels. Wind and sun just became America's #1 source of electric power. The fossil fuel economy is ending. They can't stop what's coming.

Whenever someone on the left starts talking about the need for progressives to "appeal" to rural voters, the knees of a lot of liberal diehards start jerking. They think, “Oh no! Those people are so conservative, we'd have to compromise on or even give up so many of our values to appeal to them! NO WAY!” FALSE. Rural people aren't inherently conservative (or liberal, for that matter)—they’re frustrated people who feel abandoned by the political system. Written and illustrated by Deanna Zandt and

Oh, thank God for Ted Cruz! Once again, the far-right-wing US Senator is saving you and me from a political horror that doesn’t exist. This is Ted’s specialty, for he seems unable to deal with the real economic and social problems that workaday people actually have. Thus, he constantly tries to divert attention from his senatorial incompetence by staging embarrassing political stunts, such as his furious fulminations against Big Bird, Mickey Mouse, and other fictional characters. Unable to trium

Jamie Dimon (JPMorgan Chase CEO) pocketed $770 million in pay last year. Jane Fraser (Citigroup CEO) set a new expectation: Top bankers should make $100 million . How can they afford this? By slashing tens of thousands of bank employees and taking their wages. That's how inequality "happens." Should there be a limit on CEO compensation?
