How do progressives win governing power? My long take on the challenges ahead is here: substack.com/home/post/p-154…
The ACA shows the folly of putting $3.5 trillion ahead of programs that help people. Obama's $1 trillion ACA number was a huge mistake Dems shouldn't repeat. My piece here: bit.ly/39FrtBa
Inequality costs a typical person $42,000 a year. My piece @thehill on RAND study on what you'd make if economic growth of last 4 decades had been shared equally instead of being grabbed by the richest: $2.5 TRILLION a year. Check out what it cost you: bit.ly/2G7MQzC
#bunkerboyvideo - 2 minutes of inspiration, poking fun

My new post in @thehill shows how @JoeBiden's health plan falls short by the numbers. It will cover only one-in-four uninsured and leave tens of millions with high costs. BUT, it can be fixed without the political traps of single-payer. thehill.com/opinion/healthca…
At tonight's #DemDebate, there must be #NoErasure of @EWarren. Ask her questions and give her airtime! @LesterHoltNBC, @ChuckTodd, @HallieJackson, @VanessaHuac, @RalstonReports
My new post @thehill: Missing from questions asked at the Dem debates: political and economic inequality. What voters care most about, the moderators ignore. 58 questions asked: 0 on political inequality; 1 chunk of time on economic. Here's the post: bit.ly/31SnXhp
In his new TED talk, @NickHanauer explains that economic success is based on cooperation not greed. It's more than just the best explanation you've heard of what's wrong with neoliberal economics; it explains why inclusive economics works: ted.com/talks/nick_hanauer_t…
My new post @thehill reveals why the GOP tax law is such a midterm bust. They missed a huge swing in public opinion, from worries about taxing too much to not taxing fat cats and CEOs enough. bit.ly/2Su8AHM
Why a billionaire says Democrats Must Reclaim the Center … by Moving Hard Left politi.co/2nCqJVN via @politicomag. Analysis is spot on: progressive econ issues is at the center & where there's unity among Dem candidates.

Listen up, @GOP! You have the power to protect Dreamers, fund CHIP and make our government work. There is no reason for a #TrumpShutdown
An American solution to universal health care starts with not taking away people's health care. My new post @thehill describes Medicare Part E for Everyone: quality, affordable health care for all that can sustain a political attack: bit.ly/2EAefEl
Was it economics that drove White working class voters to Trump or race? My new piece in Huff Po reports on a powerful piece by@adamserwer in @theAtlantic which shows that how race toxically shapes economics. bit.ly/2kcCBvr
#notonepenny is more than about tax fairness. To answer the GOP trickle down snake oil, Dems need to tell how raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations will really raise wages create jobs. See my new post in #thehill. bit.ly/2j2HM15
Why Democrats Don't Need Wall Street; @progressiveLux does a great take down of an outrageous piece in the NY Times

After #trumpcare dies Dem fixes to #ACA should respect resistance Medicare option in exchanges & Rx prices. #thehill bit.ly/2eIQySH
The GOP thought they were building a coffin for the #ACA. But it was their own coffin. Here's how they lost the war: bit.ly/2uff6s1
#Trumpcare could let Texas regulate health ins. for millions of people around the country who have employer ins. bit.ly/2r25QUj
