I worked on my first campaign 30 years ago. It was against JB Pritzker. I learned a lesson about the problematic power of billionaire money in politics — a lesson that guided my life’s work. I recounted it in this new WashPost story about Pritzker (who I do think has been an OK gov).

I stand in solidarity with the more than 31,000 Kaiser nurses and health care workers on strike in California and Hawaii.
It’s well past time for Kaiser to return to the table with a fair offer for their workers that includes safer staffing ratios and higher wages.

I count at least 8 guys here on top of this man. Even if this guy is armed -- a fundamental 2nd Amendment right that can not be abridged, I've been told -- they can't arrest him without shooting him?

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.
This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”
But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.
Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

All the fear mongering about a $15 minimum wage, and it still happens even though we have proof that the fear mongering of high fast food costs didn't happen.

Bleak but true. To have any hope of rebuilding it, any Democratic president that comes next would have to match Trump’s aggressive pace and wield the executive branch to destroy the billionaires’ power for good and permanently safeguard our regulatory agencies. Hard to imagine.
