Remember when Trump met Putin in Alaska and said in a faux mistake/trial balloon that he was going to Russia?
Trump family friends doing business with Russia, which it turns out secretly controls the $25 billion Alaska LNG project. ft.com/content/e9cfbfbb-e65a…

Very proud of my onetime student, Professor Sara Silverstein, whose innovative and timely book "For Your Health and Ours" was just published by Oxford UP. Anyone who is interested in health and democracy should read @_S_Silverstein's book. sarasilverstein.org/for-your…

Why Democrats should fight for Mississippi. Yes, they have more opportunities than resources this year. But the chance to revolutionize the country’s political map doesn’t come along very often. My column on Scott Colom’s campaign to forge a new coalition. nytimes.com/2026/10/20/opini…

Under Greg Abbott’s leadership, more than 170 Texas public schools have closed in the last three years alone. For the sake of our children, Greg Abbott needs to go.

I really don’t understand if capitalism is so great then why do big corporations need tax breaks, subsidies, grants, bailouts and extra legal protections to survive and when ordinary people like you and me ask for help then it suddenly becomes socialism. Why so much hypocrisy?

What’s going on between Trump and Putin? Why are they calling each other humanitarians? I explain why that’s the the point and the flattening of language and words under authoritarians.
