Americans are slowly, but surely, growing tired of broad societal injustices—and less susceptible to the right’s mechanisms of racial resentment.

How the elimination of constitutional rights became an irresistible argument in the world of mainstream ideas.

For many of his mainstream critics, Trump is forever on the verge of finally going too far.

There can be no healing in America without an honest reckoning with racial injustice—but we have long known that.

Democrats fear that a dramatic recovery could help Trump win reelection. The number of job losses and coronavirus deaths suggests otherwise.

America is ready to embrace a set of bold proposals to give employees more democracy in their workplaces and a just share of the economy.

Ezra Klein’s flawed diagnosis of the divisions in American politics

Despite Anthony Fauci’s best efforts, conservatives will stake an untold number of American lives on the all-in wager that ignorance is bliss.

A massive undertaking lies ahead of Joe Biden if he truly wants an epochal shift in American politics.

Politicians and pundits are always lamenting the division in Washington. Well, Congress came together to address the coronavirus crisis—and failed.

While Joe Biden has struggled to say anything truly memorable to voters this year, it’s a malady shared by his party’s key figures in the post-Obama era.

It’s useless to convince him to adopt progressive policies if he won’t agree to structural reforms.

The president has transformed yesterday’s Tea Party revolutionaries into worshippers of authoritarian power in Washington.

A wave of concern over the DSA's refusal to endorse the Democratic nominee reveals a substantial ignorance about who does and does not vote—and why.

Caught between a pandemic and the pressure to restart the economy, organizers have quickly adapted to fight for workers’ rights.

Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign is over. Now it’s up to progressives to mount their own revolution.

Trump has blood on his hands, and America must not wash it away.

Instead of giving Trump wise advice on the coronavirus crisis, the Democratic front-runner ought to attack his incompetence.

Some conservatives want ordinary citizens to return to their jobs and absorb the unfolding coronavirus catastrophe on everyone’s behalf.
