While the world’s attention is focused on the U.S. and Iran emerging from the Middle East crisis, an even more unpredictable drama is unfolding behind the scenes of Washington politics: the rivalry between the two most likely successors to Trump in 2028, J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio. Evidence that this struggle is intensifying can be […]

This fall, the “new blood” could seriously influence both the composition of Congress and political power in major cities. From New York to Los Angeles, the organization Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) continues to promote its candidates for Congress and for leadership positions in cities. In New York, socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier is running for […]

He also claimed that the Department of Justice is targeting him, his friends, and his family. California Governor Gavin Newsom released a video statement in which he said that the Trump administration’s Department of Justice had turned its attention to his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, over the past week. According to Newsom, investigations, document requests, […]

I’ve been watching JD Vance as carefully as anyone can track a snake in the grass, which is to say, with some difficulty. He has seemed uncomfortable with Trump’s grandiose foreign ambitions, especially Trump’s failed war in Iran, but I’ve seen no evidence that JD has spoken out against any of it even inside Trump’s […]

A bill on assistance to Kyiv is ready for a warehouses. As expected, almost simultaneously with the protest against Trump’s Iranian adventure, Congress began demanding that resources be redirected to the war with Russia in Ukraine. This is being done despite the reluctance of Republican leaders to act against the wishes of President Trump, who […]

A brief conversation on the way to breakfast. Someone I didn’t know approached me early this morning on my way to breakfast. He looked about 60 years old, with dark hair graying at the temples. He was dressed in a tie and jacket. He asked me if I was Robert Reich. I admitted to it. […]

Tax case settlement, charges against former FBI director, and renaming of Kennedy Center are at risk. A federal judge for the Southern District of Florida has accepted a class action lawsuit filed by 35 retired federal judges, who, in their motion, alleged that Donald Trump’s settlement with the IRS may be fraudulent and constitute a […]

He’s given up on all the “talent” except for You Know Who. Trump often confuses himself with America, and America with himself. Not surprisingly, his plan for celebrating the nation’s 250th anniversary is looking more and more like a celebration of Trump. Trump’s face will be engraved on a $250 bill. It will be etched […]

Protests involving members of Congress took place outside an ICE facility in New Jersey. The press joined in. On Memorial Day, Democrats and left-wing activists staged a demonstration outside the Delaney Hall detention center for undocumented immigrants in New Jersey. Governor Mikey Sherrill, Senator Cory Booker, Senator Andy Kim, and House members Rob Menendez, Nellie […]

Robbie was the kindest person I ever knew. I met him in our dormitory the day we entered college in 1964. He saw me struggling to carry my big luggage crates up the two flights of stairs to my dorm room and, without saying a word, grabbed one and hauled it to the second floor. […]
