Why are progressives winning across the United States? It’s not complicated

Establishment politicians and the establishment media have described the agenda that progressive candidates are winning elections on as “radical”, “far left”, “extremist” or, in the words of Donald Trump, “communist” . All that is nonsense. On major issue after major issue, the progressive agenda is reflecting exactly what a strong majority of the American people need and want. 

 Let me take this opportunity to share with you some of the major proposals that most progressives support. And you tell me how “extreme” they are…

Ro Khanna on a 2028 presidential run and taking on tech billionaires : NPR's Newsmakers : NPR

Khanna said Democrats need to nominate a progressive who will usher in "America's next New Deal" as the country's technological revolution enriches a select few and risks destabilizing the country's labor force. 

"These folks would have been the conquerors in a different era. They kind of think of themselves as above you and I," Khanna said of tech billionaires Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Peter Thiel. "And when I'm actually most inclined to run, I think, 'I know these people.' I understand the economic future, and I will have the guts to stand up to them."…

Progressive movement success is a ‘generational tidal wave,’ AOC says

Responding to moderate Democrats’ fears that democratic socialists would “doom” the party, Ocasio-Cortez said that diversity of thought among everyday voting people is a fundamental fact of America. 

“I don’t think that we should be worried about what somebody somewhere believes. I think we should be focused on what our plan to improve people’s lives are,” she said…

US progressives urge Democrats to back populist policies as party reels from loss

"And I think we have to be crystal clear as we move forward, that we are going to call out the hypocrisy of Donald Trump, of disingenuously claiming that he is a fighter for working people when his agenda is pro-higher cost and pro-inflation. That's what we will get with his agenda in this administration."…

Opinion | JD Vance Just Blurbed a Book Arguing That Progressives Are Subhuman - The New York Times

The word "fascist" gets thrown around a lot in politics, but it's hard to find a more apt one for "Unhumans," which came out last month. The book argues that leftists don't deserve the status of human beings — that they are, as the title says, unhumans — and that they are waging a shadow war against all that is good and decent, which will end in apocalyptic slaughter if they are not stopped. "As they are opposed to humanity itself, they place themselves outside of the category completely, in an entirely new misery-driven subdivision, the unhuman," write Posobiec and Lisec...

Pro-Israel money pours in to unseat progressives

The powerful pro-Israel lobbying group American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) is expected to lavish $100m on efforts to defeat progressive candidates it views as insufficiently supportive of Israel in 2024 – and the latest campaign finance reports in closely watched races pitting high-profile progressives against moderate challengers offer a preview of where the group may prioritize spending...

Why the Left Is Learning to Love the Military - The Atlantic

This shouldn't be so surprising. The military is the epitome of big government, with egalitarian wages, socialized medicine, and the best government-run child-care system in the country. No wonder General Wesley Clark joked that it's "the purest application of socialism there is." Now progressives are expressing a new gratitude for an institution that understands the value of diversity, cares about the rule of law, and was willing to stand up to Trump when the future of democracy was most in danger. At a time of rampant conspiracy theories like QAnon, liberals appreciate that the military operates in a world of tangible threats and complex logistics and has a basic respect for reality. George Orwell said people often cling to falsehoods until the lie slams into the truth, "usually on a battlefield."

Progressives are beating Republicans on the crime debate

Last week, Newsom announced he'd made an account on former President Donald Trump's struggling social media platform Truth Social. His first post? A video addressing the "red state murder problem," referencing data showing that states that voted for Trump in 2020 accounted for eight of the 10 highest murder rates that year...
