Universal health coverage under Medicare is a natural for Democrats. According to a new report by the American Economic Liberties Project, between 2005 and 2025 the annual cost of employer-sponsored family coverage increased from $12,214 to $35,119. Deductibles and co-pays keep rising as well. President Trump’s assaults have added to th

Last week, Rebecca Traister in New York magazine, followed by Nathan Bernard and Ryan Grim on Drop Site News, published two deeply reported and alarming stories.

    Trump’s Pander Diplomacy - The American Prospect (opens the original)

    The Coming AI Meltdown - The American Prospect (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    A new report to be presented today at the Brookings Institution shows that the total cost of the AI build-out through 2032 will be $10.3 trillion. That amounts to 3.63 percent of GDP per year, many times that of previous large-scale infrastructure investments, from the 19th-century canals, the railroads, telephone, and electric grids, to the interstate highway system.

Labor leaders in three swing states, Maine, North Carolina, and Texas, have launched a very promising initiative called the “Contract with Working America.” The idea is to use a deep canvass—extensive in-depth conversations—to learn what’s on the minds of working families, and then distill the results into an explicit plan of action that reflects actual worker views rather than top-down policy wonkery.
