Working to usher in a new Progressive Era

Text reads: "We want a democracy that creates space for us all to flourish not just survive and answers the fundamental questions of our lives with the input of all. We want to collectively own the key economic drivers that dominate our lives, such as energy production and transportation. We want the multiracial working class united in solidarity instead of divided by fear. We want to win “radical” reforms like single-payer Medicare for All, defunding the police/refunding communities, the Green New Deal, and more as a transition to a freer, more just life."
Highlighted text reads: "On July 1, 2025, CDC cut FoodNet from eight pathogens to two, keeping Salmonella and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli and dropping Cyclospora, along with Campylobacter, Listeria, Shigella, Vibrio and Yersinia. The reason given was funding. One year later this parasite produced what is on any honest reading the largest foodborne outbreak in the United States in decades, and the surveillance system built to see it coming had been switched off twelve months earlier."
Text reads: Do you see yourself as a Democrat or a democratic socialist? Because you said “our party,” and obviously you ran as a Democrat. I am both. I’m a Democrat and I’m democratic socialist. So much of what makes me proud to be a Democrat is looking at what our party used to stand for. You think about the Four Freedoms, you think F.D.R., you think the New Deal. Those are at the core of what our party’s identity is, and yet it feels like to experience it, you have to read about it. You can’t see it around you anymore. And that isn’t something that I’m willing to accept, and I know that many feel similarly.

Comparison of what Americans would have if the U.S. was the same as the average OECD country. If the top 1% had 12.8% of our nation's income, instead of 21%, every household would have $19k more per year. If the top 1% had 23% instead of 31% of our nations wealth, every household would have $96k more in wealth.

From The Guardian: "Kash Patel “is deeply concerned that his job is in jeopardy,” multiple current officials and former officials close to him told Sarah Fitzpatrick of The Atlantic for an article published on Friday. “He has good reasons to think so—including some having to do with what witnesses described to me as bouts of excessive drinking.” According to Fitzpatrick’s reporting: On multiple occasions in the past year, members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to information supplied to Justice Department and White House officials. A request for “breaching equipment”—normally used by SWAT and hostage-rescue teams to quickly gain entry into buildings—was made last year because Patel had been unreachable behind locked doors, according to multiple people familiar with the request."
From The Guardian: "The president also repeated the false claim he has made dozens of times in the past year that “the king of Saudi Arabia told me, when I was in Saudi Arabia… he looked at me, he said, ‘You know, Mr President, a short time ago we viewed the United States as a dead country. We thought it was dead. And now you have the hottest country anywhere in the world.’” In fact, Saudi Arabia’s elderly king did not meet Trump during his visit to the kingdom last year. The president was instead hosted by the crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman. And the comment about the US being “the hottest” country in the world was not made by the prince to Trump, but by Trump to the prince."
From The Guardian: "Pro-EU opposition wins big in Hungary and ousts Viktor Orbán after 16 years in power - what we know? Jakub Krupa Jakub Krupa The centre-right pro-European opposition party Tisza is on course to secure the two-thirds majority in the new Hungarian parliament, signalling the end of the 16-year rule of Fidesz under populist nationalist Viktor Orbán. With 98% votes counted, Tisza is projected to have 138 seats in the new 199-seat parliament, compared to Fidesz’s 55, and the far-right Mi Hazank party’s 6."

From The Guardian: US secretary of state Marco Rubio made ominous remarks relating to Cuba, the country of his roots and towards whose regime he has a deep antipathy. The Trump administration did not say today that it will reprise its action in Venezuela in Cuba, but it didn’t say it would not, either. Rubio said in response to the topic coming up in the press question-and-answer session: “I mean, I just gave you a statement a few minutes ago about, you know, when the president speaks you should take him seriously. Suffice it to say, you know, Cuba is a disaster.”
