Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Democrats, Divided on Past Middle East Wars, Unite Against This One

For Democrats, the Iran War furnishes a perfect litmus test: who is under the control of AIPAC versus who exercises independent judgment?

Iran’s High-Risk Strategy for a No-Limits Middle East War Tehran’s leaders crafted a plan ahead of the current conflict that would escalate the fight across the region.
