Does DSA Belong in the Democratic Party? Rahm Emanuel Draws a Hard Line

Does DSA belong in the Democratic coalition? Emanuel says no. DSA’s strategy, recent election wins and major policy differences reveal a more complicated picture.

America Already Pays for Medicare for All—Wall Street Keeps the Difference

America pays more for worse healthcare because corporate middlemen extract wealth from illness. Medicare for All offers universal care at a lower total cost.

Stephanie Ruhle’s Rich Friend Reveals Why the Investor Class Still Does Not Get It

The investor class has captured wealth, tax favors, and political power, yet remains indifferent to democracy. Stephanie Ruhle’s revealing anecdote shows why reform cannot wait.

Angie Nixon illustrates that a DSA candidate is closer to Americans than Establishment Dems or Republicans.

Angie Nixon beat a $16 million opponent with organizing and economic populism. Her DSA affiliation matters less than the working-class policies voters recognize.

The US economy did not recover after the 2008 financial crisis and after COVID-19. Also corporate greed got worse after these two major crises.

#McConnell, out sick for two months, voted against medical leave 23 times since 1985

by Judd Legum, Rebecca Crosby, and Noel Sims, Aug 13, 2026

"Senator #MitchMcConnell (R-KY) was hospitalized on June 14 after suffering a fall that left him unconscious. He remained hospitalized until mid-July, when he was transferred to a rehabilitation center. On August 6, McConnell announced that he was discharged and was continuing his recovery at home.

"But, two months later, McConnell has not returned to work in the Senate. Over that period of time, he has missed 59 floor votes. Nevertheless, McConnell has continued to receive his Senate salary of $174,000 per year [!!!].

"McConnell is fortunate to be employed in a job with excellent benefits. There is no federal law, however, that provides guaranteed paid sick leave. In 2025, about 27 million private sector workers had no paid sick leave.

"One reason: Mitch McConnell."

Insurgent Candidate Victories Highlight Growing Movement Against #Corporate & #Elite Power: #JohnNichols

#DemocracyNow, August 05, 2026

Excerpt: "AMY GOODMAN: And let’s go to #WilliamLawrence of the #SunriseMovement —

JOHN NICHOLS: Yeah.

AMY GOODMAN: — who we just mentioned, who won his primary, a co-founder of the Sunrise Movement, defeated two opponents to win the Democratic House primary in Michigan’s 7th District, focusing partly on what you just mentioned: #AIDatacenters . This is one of his ads.

' WILLIAM LAWRENCE: I’m #WillLawrence. And #TechBillionaires want to turn this whole field into a massive #datacenter that’ll jack up our energy bills and ruin our home values.

RANDY: They put that in, it’s going to plummet the values. It’s an existential threat.

WILLIAM LAWRENCE: I’m running for U.S. Congress because I’ve been afraid to stand up to corporate power. I’m backed by #BernieSanders, and I don’t take a dime from #CorporatePACs . '

ANJALI KAMAT: And in Michigan’s 13th Congressional District, #DonavanMcKinney, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, has a narrow lead over Congressman Shri Thanedar. This is a part of one of McKinney’s ads.

' DONAVAN McKINNEY: #ShriThanedar and the same #billionaires supporting #DonaldTrump are spending millions lying to you. They know that in Congress, Shri fights for them. I will fight for us — lower costs, higher wages, #MedicareForAll . '

ANJALI KAMAT: #AbbasAlawieh also won the Democratic primary for a seat in the Michigan state Senate. He was a co-founder of the #UncommittedMovement, which pushed for President Biden, and then Kamala Harris, to end U.S. support for Israel’s #WarOnGaza. This is Abbas speaking outside the DNC, the Democratic National Convention, in 2024, where the Uncommitted Movement pushed to include a #Palestinian voice at the convention.

'ABBAS ALAWIEH: Here is the scandal, my friends. Here is the scandal. The scandal is that there are forces within #DemocraticParty leadership who do not want us to talk about #Palestinian #HumanRights. But that’s not sustainable. This is a watershed moment. '

ANJALI KAMAT: John Nichols, can you talk about some of these other key races in Michigan and other states where progressives were challenging more establishment candidates, and just what you think is most important as a takeaway from yesterday’s primaries?

JOHN NICHOLS: I sure can. I’m delighted to do it, because the fact of the matter is that our national media too often focuses on the top-line races and misses the real dynamic, which you start to recognize is when you go down-ballot and you look at contests for U.S. House seats and for legislative seats.

And if you look in Michigan, what you’re seeing is, with Will Lawrence, an example of a real breakthrough win for a young candidate who ran a campaign on dynamic, fresh issues, including data centers. With #DonavanMcKinney, that’s still a close race. There are votes still to be counted there. But this is an incredible thing, because this is a candidate who didn’t have anywhere near the kind of money that his opponent did, and yet, with a real grassroots campaign on the ground there in Detroit and that region, ran very, very well.

And if we move beyond Michigan and you look around the country, what you’re going to see is that Tuesday night was a very good night for insurgent candidacies and for outsiders. In the #Missouri governor’s race, what you saw was kind of a remarkable result. #CindyHolscher, who’s a state senator out there and came from the outside — she wasn’t backed by the sitting governor, she wasn’t backed by a lot of Democratic Party leaders, and yet she won her primary for governor. And she did it by talking, again, about data centers and making that a very central part of her campaign. We’re starting to see a thread here. "

“The central corrupting feature of our politics right now is the power of money to buy politicians
so that government is captured by them,
not for us,” El-Sayed said as he fielded questions from the stage

“AIPAC will spend huge amounts of money if you’re uppity like me and you speak out of turn to beat you,
and you’re seeing it play out on TV every day.”

Hey big American corporations. You backed employer-based coverage and a watered-down #ACA instead of a #PublicOption or #MedicareForAll. Now premiums, deductibles, and payroll contributions rise every year. Open enrollment means less care and higher costs. If you want lower employment costs and a healthier workforce, stop running healthcare. Standardize a #UniversalClaimForm, expand #Medicare eligibility, and let companies make products instead of pretending to run medicine. Make it so.

@rbreich Audacity / hope / change / yes-we-can Obama sold US out in 2009-10,😡 didn't fight hard enough for public option, never mind single-payer.😡ACA further enabled insurance mafia extortion, infrastructure.😡 Former Sen. Tom Harkin: Dems "…had a huge majority in the House… 60 votes in the Senate… we blew it…"

> The remedy is straightforward: decommercialized national health insurance: a single, public insurance plan that covers everyone, financed through progressive taxes, with no copayments or deductibles.

One small note: taxes are not required for spending; ie, let's avoid the "How are you going to pay for it?" question. #MMT

Folks this piece has 50 sources. It’s damning. We were duped.

The Democratic Party needs to clean house. That starts with walking away from the donor class.

If the Dems want to win another election they need to be about M4A. Be against the Israeli government. Get the money out of politics. Nina Turner needs to head the DNC.

Not sure if this will actually happen, but if it does it would be a massive game changer. So far it has 23 sponsors in the Michigan House, which is more than I would have expected.

Rep. Carrie Rheingans introduces bill that would establish universal healthcare in Michigan

Rep. Carrie Rheingans (D-Ann Arbor) has introduced a bill that would create a publicly funded health system that would provide comprehensive services in Michigan.

House Bill 4893 would establish a universal healthcare system and reform the current payment system for healthcare coverage in Michigan. It would utilize both private and public providers to offer physical, dental, and mental healthcare without deductibles, copays, or premiums.

Rheingans told State of Reform she is still considering options to fund her proposal for Michigan, but plans to utilize MICare, which all residents would be eligible for. It would include coverage provided under Medicaid, Medicare, MIChild (the state’s child health plan under Title XXI of the Social Security Act), employers that choose to participate, and state and government employees.

I host a monthly webinar that's billed as a "conversation with activists." This month's conversation was a lively one with 3 activists who are working to implement a single payer health care plan for California. You'll learn a lot and, it is hoped, be inspired to get involved in the effort. #SinglePayer #HealthCare #Medicare4All #MedicareForAll #SinglePayerHealthCare #CA #Video

@failedLyndonLaRouchite
Im not a HC service expert as you say. But 30 y delivering care convinced me that we need #MedicareForAll or some other #SinglePayerHealthcare as a human right. And yes, it’s way too complicated. When my wife first got Medicare I guided her to an MA plan, in large part bc it was so complicated, despite being more familiar than the avg American. I’ve become more informed, and she changed to TM + medigap. Medicare needs to be improved, but MA is step in wrong direction.

@gregggonsalves @EricReinhart
I just realized #UniversalHealthcare is too vague. We need to demand #SinglePayerHealthcare or #MedicareForAll

The coolest thing about this is that #Bernie would wear the same outfit to his own #inauguration.

BTW, I was thinking more in terms of #grungerock fashion rather than grandpa #grumpychic ;-)

#Bernie2020 should run as an independent candidate. The movement is strong enough to lay the foundation for a 3 party system.

The obvious reason for resigning is, that after seeing #truckfonalddump yesterday, anyone's better than that psycho - even Biden.

However, that doesn't take into account how things came this far - #Corona / #COVID19 is a systemic failure. The system must change.
