DEFEATING TRUMPISM IS NOT ENOUGH: DEMOCRATS MUST DELIVER FOR WORKING FAMILIES Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in American history and Democrats must do everything possible to roll back his disastrous policies. But running against Trump is not enough. The American people are hurting and they want to see a pro-working class agenda that will provide meaningful improvements to their lives. Democrats must have the courage to take on Oligarchy, corporate greed and a corrupt campaign finance system. No more incrementalism, no more same-old, same-old failed establishment policies that simply make the rich even richer. Democrats must restore faith in democracy and the belief that government can work for working families and not just the billionaire class. Our job is to expand our progressive grassroots movement so that when Democrats regain power they must: ✅ Pass Medicare for All and guarantee health care to every person in our country as a human right. ✅ Increase the minimum wage to $20 an hour and pass legislation making it easier for workers to join unions. ✅ Raise taxes on the billionaire class and large profitable corporations. ✅ Lower housing costs by building 7 million units of low income and affordable housing. ✅ Provide free tuition at public colleges and universities. ✅ Get billionaire funded super PACs out of elections. ✅ Create millions of jobs by moving our energy system away from fossil fuels to energy efficiency and sustainable energy. ✅ Protect the American people from the existential and economic threats of AI. ✅ Cut military spending, end “endless wars,” and stop all U.S. military aid to Israel.

Domani: Le distanze tra elettori Pd e 5s, l’odio, la sinistra: bisogna sentirsi parte di un solo popolo Io non so se esistono un popolo del Pd e uno del M5S. So per certo che esistono individui che odiano il Pd (e che votano M5s) e individui che odiano il M5s (e che votano Pd). E che la pensano su molte cose allo stesso modo. La sinistra si concentra su ciò che la divide, che è poco, e trascura ciò che la unisce, che è tanto The distances between voters for the PD and 5S, the hatred, the left-wing: we need to feel part of one single people. I don't know if there’s a people of the PD (Democratic Party) and a people of the M5S (Five Star Movement). I’m certain that there are individuals who hate the PD (and vote for M5S) and individuals who hate the M5S (and vote for the PD). And that they think about many things in a similar way. The left focuses on what divides them, which is little, and neglects what unites them, which is so much. #DemocraticPartyhttps://www.editorialedomani.it/idee/commenti/distanze-elettori-pd-5s-odio-sinistra-bisogna-sentirsi-parte-popolo-lqjsgabq

Il Fatto Quotidiano: “Chi vota per le armi non può stare nel centrosinistra”. Le voci della base Pd alla festa nazionale dell’Unità (in sintonia con l’annuncio di Conte) “Se vogliamo avere un governo unitario, la posizione sull’Ucraina, che è divisiva, va risolta prima”. Parola di uno dei tanti militanti dem che questo pomeriggio è arrivato alla festa nazionale dell’unità di Reggio Emilia per il comizio conclusivo della segretaria Pd Elly Schlein. Tra la base Dem c’è insofferenza nei confronti dell’invio di armi all’Ucraina: “Armi no, servono negoziazione e ricerca della pace ad ogni costo e livello” racconta un militante. “Gli ucraini vanno aiutati ma non con le armi, con medicinali e sanità” prosegue un altro. “armi non ne darei a nessuno” aggiunge una militante con la bandiera dalla pace. Poche ore prima, dal palco della festa del Fatto alla Versiliana, il leader M5s Giuseppe Conte aveva detto:“Non sottoscriveremo un programma con chi vorrà continuare a dare armi a gogò all’Ucraina”. L'articolo “Chi vota per le armi non può stare nel centrosinistra”. Le voci della base Pd alla festa nazionale dell’Unità (in sintonia con l’annuncio di Conte) proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano. "Anyone who votes for weapons cannot be in the center-left." The voices of the grassroots Pd at the National Unity Party celebration (in line with Conte's announcement). “If we want to have a unified government, the position on Ukraine, which is divisive, must be resolved first.” Words of one of the many Democratic Party militants who arrived at this afternoon's national unity festival in Reggio Emilia for the closing speech by Pd Secretary Elly Schlein. Among the Democratic base there is resentment towards sending weapons to Ukraine: “No weapons, negotiation and the search for peace at all costs and at every level are needed,” says a militant. “The Ukrainians must be helped but not with weapons, with medicines and healthcare,” continues another. "I wouldn't give any weapons to anyone," adds a militant holding a peace flag. Just a few hours earlier, from the stage of the Fatto Party festival at Versiliana, Five Star leader Giuseppe Conte had said: “We will not endorse a program with those who want to continue giving 'toys' weapons to Ukraine.” The article "Those who vote for weapons cannot be in the center-left." The voices of the Pd base at the national unity festival (in line with Conte’s announcement) come from Il Fatto Quotidiano. #Conte #Ukraine #first #DemocraticParty #ReggioEmilia #EllySchlein #Democratic #Ukrainians #theFattoParty #Versiliana #GiuseppeConte #IlFattoQuotidianohttps://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2026/09/13/campo-largo-armi-ucraina-base-pd-notizie/8505523/

The New Republic | The Important Missing Word That Discredits the Centrists’ New Letter by Michael Tomasky AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. In his piece, Michael Tomasky criticizes a recent letter from moderate Democrat Tom Suozzi and fourteen colleagues that lauds capitalism while conspicuously omitting the single word that undercuts their rhetoric—“monopoly.” He argues that monopoly, not democratic socialists or the government, is the chief threat to genuine competition and that centrist Democrats must confront it if they hope to unite with the increasingly left‑leaning base of the party. Citing rising economic inequality (the U.S. Gini now at 42), the surge of self‑identified democratic socialists, and poll data showing progressives now outnumber moderates, Tomasky urges the party to adopt clear policy commitments—higher taxes on the rich, a solvable Social Security, an $18‑minimum‑wage indexed to inflation, a permanent child‑tax credit, and robust antitrust action—so that Democrats can fight the billionaire “Epstein” class, restore competition, and avoid electoral defeat in 2028.

🔥🔥🔥 ❝ Whoever wins the House and Senate will decide on the chamber’s leadership. If the Democrats win them both in November, there needs to be a fight over who leads us.

RE: https://climatejustice.social/@PeterRu/116822476038269087 ❝ CORPORATE DEMOCRATS ❞ = CORPORATISTS we know #corporatism is #fascism. ∴ corporate democrats are NOT centrists. they are the fascists of the #DemocraticParty if your opponent is a fascist, you cannot be “a little bit fascist“ and call that #centrism. a true Democratic party would defend #democracy and oppose fascism. a true Democratic party would be an #antifascism party and make that the anchor of their political platform. you are for fascism or against it. it’s as simple as that.

qwant news | Good Riddance to Jared Polis, America’s Worst Elected Democrat AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The article is a vehement opinion piece denouncing Colorado Governor Jared Polis as “America’s worst elected Democrat.” The author argues that Polis betrayed democratic principles by granting clemency to election‑official Tina Peters, timing the decision to avoid legislative backlash, and repeatedly vetoing bipartisan bills that would have protected consumers, workers, and transparency. Citing personal grievance, the writer claims Polis is a pawn of Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel, accusing him of using his wealth to buy political power, favoring corporate interests (including Uber, Lyft, and rent‑price algorithms), and abandoning Colorado’s voters in favor of Trump‑aligned agendas. The piece portrays Polis’s actions as evidence of a right‑ward shift that serves oligarchic donors rather than the public, forecasting that any future presidential bid would be a disastrous extension of this behavior.

qwant news | Tom Steyer gives middle finger to Mark Zuckerberg over contribution in CA gov. race AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Billionaire California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer slammed Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg after a filing showed the company’s $950,000 donation to a working‑families super‑PAC that backs Xavier Becerra’s 2026 governor bid, warning that the same day Meta announced layoffs affecting more than 10% of its workforce (about 8,000 employees, including 500 in the Bay Area). Steyer posted on X: “5 p.m. today: Meta gives $950K for @XavierBecerra. 4 a.m. tomorrow: Meta lays off 10% of workforce… Mark Zuckerberg wants a friend in Sacramento. I won’t be.” The contribution was made to the Independent Expenditure‑Only Political Committee “Working Families for Healthy Communities Supporting Becerra for Governor 2026,” which can spend unlimited money but cannot give directly to candidates. A recent state Democratic Party poll showed Becerra at 21% support versus Steyer’s 15%, and the California Post has sought comment from the Becerra campaign.

World & Nation | Coded messages, 'red boxing' and other allegations in California's testy race for governor by Seema Mehta AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Xavier Becerra’s 2026 California gubernatorial campaign has drawn attention for posting a “red‑boxed” webpage that outlines attack points against billionaire rival Tom Steyer and suggests messaging for independent‑expenditure committees, a tactic known as “red‑boxing” that lets campaigns signal preferred ads without directly coordinating with Super PACs. Legal experts say the practice skirts campaign‑finance rules that prohibit direct contact with outside spenders, noting that while it can invite fines, candidates often accept the risk in exchange for strategic gains. The move comes as Becerra, the former U.S. Health and Human Services secretary, has surged in the polls—tying Steyer at 13%—and is now a leading contender to replace term‑limited Gov. Gavin Newsom, prompting scrutiny of both the legality and morality of this increasingly common strategy in high‑stakes elections.

The Guardian | Working Americans are taking the streets for May Day. Will Democrats pay attention? | Claire Valdez by Claire Valdez AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. May Day on May 1, 2026 saw more than 3,000 protests across the United States as workers, students and families demanded a strike that halts school, work and shopping while ending billionaire rule. Claire Valdez, a New York assemblymember, union organizer and Democratic socialist running for Congress, argues that both the Republican and Democratic establishments have abandoned the working class—exemplified by policies that ignore the cost‑of‑living crisis, fund overseas conflicts, and deregulate labor protections. She links today’s struggle to the historic fight for the eight‑hour day, noting that modern oligarchs such as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are undermining workers’ rights while private‑equity gutts hospitals and pensions. Valdez calls for organized action, quoting UAW president Shawn Fain that it is time to decide the world we want and what we are willing to do, and urges unions to set contracts to expire on May 1 2028 and prepare for a general strike and a progressive electoral surge. The piece frames May Day as both beautiful and devastating—a reminder of the high stakes and the power of collective action to secure dignified wages, benefits, housing, healthcare and a good life for ordinary Americans.

While the U.S. economy grew strongly in 2025, it is currently on shaky ground. Spiking inflation, static interest rates, the ongoing Iran war, and other dynamics have contributed to a difficult economic moment ahead of midterm elections in November.

For the first time in modern state history, a Democrat is running in every race on the Texas ballot next year, thanks to a recruitment campaign by Democratic groups and politicians. “No Republican gets a free ride in Texas,” Texas Democratic Party Chair Kendall Scudder said in an interview.

Texas Democrats fill up every state and federal race in 2026

Texas Majority PAC and the Texas Democratic Party recruited 104 candidates to fill uncontested races. Gov. Greg Abbott’s strategist said it amounts to a gimmick “if they don’t back it up with serious resources.”
