Under the Build Back Better Act, Congress can expand and strengthen Medicare and Medicaid, improving the lives of millions of seniors while also throwing a lifeline to folks living in states where GOP politicians are strangling public benefits. But to win these popular reforms, we have to defeat the efforts of Big Pharma, their greedy lobbyists and the politicians who take their money. […]

And It’s A Shame. “Nobody in Congress can be counted on to stand with what the people need as opposed to caving to the demands of party leadership,” warns veteran single-payer activist Anne Scheetz. Democrats in Congress and their supporters inside the beltway have taken single payer off the table. Instead of pursuing Medicare for All they are pursuing incremental improvements in Medicare—also known as Medicare for Some. They are also pursuing single payer at the state level. […]
On the show, Chris Hedges speaks with the author Robert Eisenberg about the legacy of the Obama/Biden administration and how it led to the election of Donald Trump. The election of Donald Trump to the presidency can be directly tied to the policies implemented by Barack Obama and Joe Biden during their eight years in office. Rather than confront Wall Street and the bankers who were responsible for the global financial crash of 2007 and 2008, they bailed them out. Rather than halt the military adventurism that led to the debacles in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Libya, they backed and expanded […]
Democratic party leadership are as uninterested in fighting for abortion rights as they are in addressing anything else their members need and want. Most leftists in this country still remain loyal to the Democratic Party despite decades of deception, overt collusion with ruling class interests, and support of U.S. imperialism. The Democrats use a variety of means to keep the support of millions of people who yearn for something other than the excuses and double dealing they are constantly offered. Pointing to Republicans as the embodiment of all evil is one of their methods, and no issue suits this strategy more […]

Tusli Gabbard, who was the first Hindu-American to be elected to the US House of Representatives, enjoys close ties with India’s governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The 39-year-old representative from the Hawaii state dropped out of the Presidential race in March of this year and pledged her support to Biden. India has been working on “contingency plans” ahead of the US Presidential vote on 3 November, with a high-ranking official telling Sputnik that the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has already reached out to Tulsi Gabbard and Amy Klobuchar to establish “favourable” ties with the Democrats. The official claimed that the […]

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – US President Donald Trump says the Democrats will turn the country into “one giant sanctuary for criminals” by defunding police and instigating attacks on law enforcement officers. “If you give the power to Democrats, the radical left will defund, disband, disarm and dismantle police departments all across America. Asked if he [Biden] supports slashing police funding, he said ‘yes, yes, absolutely yes,’” Trump said at a Saturday campaign rally in Janesville, Wisconsin. Trump pointed to prolonged unrest that Democrat-run states, such as Chicago, New York and Oakland, have been suffering from amid Black Lives Matter protests. “This year […]
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – US President Donald Trump warns that a Democratic victory in the November elections could make the coronavirus situation worse in Michigan, as well as the US as a whole. Speaking at the Saturday rally in Muskegon, Michigan, Trump told his supporters that “Democrats would terminate our recovery with a draconian unscientific lockdown like your governor is doing right now.” According to Trump, the Democrats will delay the coronavirus vaccine in the US. “A guy like Biden and the Democrats want to keep Michigan locked up, locked down and closed for business, it’s so badly hurting the state,” Trump […]

Early voting turnout has reached record numbers, with up to 14 million Americans having already cast their ballots in the general election, according to US Elections Project data. US academics have warned against leaping to conclusions with regard to which party’s candidate is likely to benefit from the emerging trend – Donald Trump or Joe Biden. At least 425,028 ballots were cast in-person on 13 October, while at least 224,122 had been sent in by mail in Texas, as The Texas Tribune reported on Tuesday. Meanwhile, in Ohio, 193,021 residents have voted in person since the state’s elections centres opened on […]
“This,” began Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), “is not normal right now.” She was the 10th senator to speak on the second day of confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett—but the first to state the obvious. The signs were everywhere: the masked members of Barrett’s family sitting behind her and the senators sitting in front of her, flanked by bottles of hand sanitizer, ensured that reminders of the COVID-19 pandemic were in every frame. The frequent tributes to the previous occupant of the seat Barrett hopes to fill, who died less than a month ago, and the shadow of […]
In Amy Coney Barrett’s America, the Supreme Court will take health care away from millions of people during a deadly pandemic. That is inevitable, at least, if you believe what Democrats had to say on the first day of Barrett’s confirmation hearing. Democrats had plenty of visual props to reinforce this point: Photos of people with pre-existing conditions on easels, which had the effect of making this confirmation hearing look more like a murder trial. Despite all of this, Barrett wasn’t explicitly cast as the villain, but rather, as a pawn. In fact, while invoking the horrific outcomes that would surely […]
As Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation hearing kicks off, the Trump-nominated judge has vowed to leave politics out of the law. The hearing itself, however, promises to be a hyper-partisan battle. The Senate Judiciary Committee meets on Monday to get the ball rolling on Coney Barrett’s nomination process. In her opening remarks, Coney Barrett promised to interpret the law “as written, not as the judge wishes it were,” in the style of her mentor, the late conservative Justice Antonin Scalia. “Courts have a vital responsibility to enforce the rule of law,” she continued, “but courts are not designed to […]
When Republicans committed to filling the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat on the U.S. Supreme Court before the November election, they vowed to get it done no matter what came in their way. With hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee set to begin on Monday, just three weeks after Ginsburg’s death, it’s clear that Republicans didn’t anticipate everything that would get in their way. And it’s even clearer that nothing was ever going to stop them from putting another conservative on the highest court of the land. President Trump and Senate Republicans weren’t stopped by the COVID-19 outbreak within the […]
Donald Trump is losing it in a big way, and the polls are widening. Still, I say don’t get overconfident. This may yet be close—close enough that Trump can challenge the results in some key states and try to steal it. And if Trump and the Republicans can get away with it, they can produce some outlandish scenarios. Maybe one in which a minority of House members decides Trump won re-election. Maybe one in which there is no president next Jan. 20. Maybe even one in which Mike Pence just decides, against the will of Congress, that he and Trump won—and […]
US President Donald Trump said he would sign a bill approving another round of Covid-19 relief checks if one crossed his desk, apparently backtracking after saying he’d ended stimulus talks with Democrats until after the election. “[If I sent] a Stand Alone Bill for Stimulus Checks ($1,200), they will go out to our great people IMMEDIATELY. I am ready to sign right now. Are you listening Nancy?” Trump tweeted on Tuesday evening amid a flurry of posts, tagging his own chief of staff Mark Meadows and leadership in both parties. Some 7 hours earlier, the president said he had instructed his […]
Plexiglass barriers will reportedly be used in the upcoming debate between Vice President Mike Pence and Joe Biden’s running mate Sen. Kamala Harris, said to be requested by Democrats after President Donald Trump caught Covid-19. Trump tested positive for the coronavirus just two days after debating Biden in Cleveland, Ohio. While Biden has so far tested negative, the Commission on Presidential Debates – the NGO running the process – decided to almost double the distance between Pence and Harris, from 7 feet (2.1 meters) to 13 (4 meters). On Monday, the CPD agreed to put plexiglass barriers not just between the […]
US President Donald Trump has been discharged from the Walter Reed Medical Center after having spent three days being treated for the coronavirus. Democrats have accused him of rushing his release for the sake of politics. Trump walked out of the hospital doors at 6:40 local time on Monday and walked to the waiting motorcade, not taking any questions from the gathered press pool but giving a thumbs-up gesture to the photographers before getting into his car.

“A virtual hearing is virtually no hearing at all,” the New York Senator says, suggesting the decision on Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett should be postponed, despite Senate already using the practice throughout pandemic. “If it’s not safe for the Senate to meet in session, it’s not safe for the hearings to go forward,” Chuck Schumer said at a Sunday press conference. The Senate has already cancelled meetings this week due to several senators, including two on the judiciary committee, revealing they are positive for Covid-19. The idea of virtual hearings has been suggested, but Democrats have been resistant to the […]
A surprisingly large portion of Democrat respondents to a new survey said they were “happy” after President Donald Trump contracted the coronavirus, a trend reflected in a flurry of celebratory social media posts from his critics. Four out of ten Democrats said they were “very” or “somewhat” happy when asked how they felt about the diagnosis, in a Morning Consult poll published on Friday, while 31 percent admitted they were “excited.” Some 41 percent reported feeling “indifferent.” The survey comes a day after Trump announced that he and the first lady had contracted the illness, which has infected more than 7.3 […]

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s attempt to woo estranged left-leaning voters with an economic plan presented as a 21st-century New Deal has been slammed by progressive voters as too little, too late. The Democratic challenger’s economic policy, dubbed “Bidenomics” and aimed at propping up the country’s ailing healthcare, education, and infrastructure with a hefty infusion of taxpayer dollars, has triggered a backlash from the Left, after a detailed explainer on it appeared in Financial Times on Monday. The plan, which Biden earlier linked to the New Deal deployed by former president Franklin Delano Roosevelt to help pull the country out of […]
When the last U.S. Supreme Court seat opened up, Democrats held out hope that they could stop President Donald Trump’s nominee and force the GOP to compromise. “If we can successfully block this nomination,” said Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) upon Brett Kavanaugh’s selection in 2018, “it could lead to a more independent, moderate selection that both parties could support.” That, of course, did not happen. Two years later, any shred of hope that Democrats might have to block another Trump pick to the high court has been completely crushed. Few on either side doubt that Judge Amy Coney Barrett […]

Joe Biden didn’t mince words as Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump abuse and corrupt the Constitution in their rush to fill Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat on the Supreme Court. “The infection this president has unleashed on our democracy can be fatal. Enough. Enough. Enough.” He has since added that expanding the Court is a legitimate question. Biden sees McConnell’s desire for total unitary executive, judiciary and legislative control for what it is: A tyranny of extremism. Source link

Facing what they acknowledge to be a nearly impossible task of blocking President Donald Trump from filling a Supreme Court vacancy, Senate Democrats are divided over what precise tactics they should deploy in the days and weeks ahead. On a caucus call Saturday, members laid out two types of approaches that they thought would best suit the party in its efforts to stop the president from filling the seat of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died on Friday from complications of pancreatic cancer. One faction felt that a dramatic show of resistance with overt political threats would provide the pressure needed […]

Critics insist the law is a “fascist” ban on free expression.

A majority of Republican respondents – as opposed to only ten percent of Democrats – said Covid-19 death toll in the US was at “acceptable” levels, according to a new poll, exposing a deep partisan rift over pandemic handling. As the US continues to lead the world with over 21 percent of total deaths and nearly a quarter of confirmed coronavirus cases (which could be partially attributed to record numbers of tests conducted), a new YouGov poll commissioned by CBS News showed extremely polarized views by 2,226 surveyed US registered voters.
