On this Independence Day, we honor the courage, vision, and enduring principles that gave birth to the United States and continue to inspire generations. It is also a day to celebrate the freedoms that allow ideas to be shared, history to be explored, and meaningful conversations to flourish. Thank you to every author for your […]

The source of the new energy taking over the Democratic Party isn’t Democratic Socialism. It’s something far more exciting! In one of the most notable upsets of the Democratic primaries so far, Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros, 29, yesterday won the nomination over incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette to represent Colorado’s hotly-contested First Congressional District. I expect […]

The very USMCA that Trump praised in 2020 is now no longer satisfactory to him. The United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) replaced NAFTA in 2020. At the time, Trump hailed the new deal as a major achievement. However, in 2026, when the agreement came up for its scheduled 16-year review and possible extension, the second Trump […]

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 […]
