Autopsy: The Democratic Party in Crisis was prepared by progressive party activists Karen Bernal, Pia Gallegos, Sam McCann, and Norman Solomon and released today. "After a train wreck," they wrote, "investigators scrutinize the causes. A rigorous inquiry-- not content to merely point fingers at external forces-- takes an unflinching look at what occurred.

Alan Grayson isn't running for Congress again-- at least not so far. He's been doing other work, like working on very time-consuming legal cases against the Trump Regime.

I'm sure you remember that Trump repeatedly promised during the campaign that he would get Mexico to pay for his ridiculous wall. Obviously, Mexico laughed in his face. So now the Republicans are ginning up a way of taxing Americans to pay for the (totally not) Great Wall of Trump.

Politico was eager to remind its readers that "Democrats are just as divided as Republicans these days." When there's a lot of money at stake, isn't that always the case... not just "these days?" Some "big news" this weekend was that Hillary isn't going to run for office again. Oh.

We want to introduce you to an old friend who's running for Congress in Illinois, David Gill, a life-long and dedicated progressive in a swing district that Obama won in 2008 and then lost by a handful of votes in 2012. It was the wrong kind of district for Hillary and Trump beat her 49.7% to 44.2%.
