the Dems need a guy who comes into every strategy meeting and just slams the Labour poll numbers down on the table and walks out
I am willing to be that guy

I think it's unfair to compare the Democratic Party to UK Labour under Starmer. I think it's absolutely true that the mainstream centrist press, exemplified by the NYT, wants the Democratic Party to be the UK Labour Party under Starmer, though.

The DOJ's No. 2 official suggested that lawyers might have a harder time winning lenient treatment for corporate clients if they've publicly accused the Trump administration of being lax on white-collar crime.

Don't worry Canadians, PM Carney is promoting democracy through FIFA, the most democracy friendly of international bodies.
The US govt is screaming—in words, actions, and now a strategic document—that America has switched sides in the world, preferring authoritarians and a transnational white nationalism over liberal democracy.
Like Russia, a US foreign policy goal is to undermine the EU.
Will Europe finally listen?
