Elections in red states may be hard, but they serve as potential laboratories for Democrats to retool their struggles with working-class appeals.

Democrats in Congress want to pass a windfall profits tax and send the money to Americans via stimulus checks. Well—most Democrats, that is.

The message that could galvanize voters in the midterms is at Democrats’ fingertips. Why do they resist grabbing it?

The most important politician to ever hail from Nevada, the late senator never forgot his hardscrabble beginnings and the promises he made to the American people.

Don’t be hoodwinked. It isn’t Joe Biden who’s making record profits and gouging U.S. consumers. That would be corporate America.

The problem is low Democratic voter enthusiasm. Here are the things the president can do to solve it.

All over the country, workers are winning concessions. What business calls a “labor shortage” is really labor power in action.

Typically, Democratic bills that help working people throw a bone to corporate America. But this bill is different. From Biden on down, Democrats need to say that.
