The Arizona senator wants to cut funding for climate-change policies and opposes a plan to rein in prescription drug prices. She doesn’t deserve the Democratic Party.

Rude politics are inevitable when elected officials, like Kyrsten Sinema, open their doors to corporate elites but not their own constituents.

Her incoherent “stand” against the Democrats’ budget isn’t just hurting her party, it’s hurting her own reelection prospects.

We’ll give you the short version (because your time is valuable) and the long version (because you might have nothing better to do).

What does it mean to be a moderate in the era of the climate crisis?

The industry’s titanic profits power a perpetual stranglehold over our government with only one goal in mind: raking you clean of every last dime.

Democrats have to prove that the government can deliver for people. If they don’t, authoritarianism wins.

And in doing so, they’re threatening the party’s electoral future.

The West Virginia senator has floated means testing as a way of cutting costs, but his plan could have inadvertent negative effects.

Dig, if you will, the reconciliation budget package; the two Joes engaged in a deal.

Manchin says $1.5 trillion. Sanders says $3.5. So split the difference, guys. Here’s one way to do it.

Her leverage is the votes she controls in the Progressive Caucus. Their leverage is that they can kill a deal single-handedly. The stakes could not be higher.

After weeks of posturing, the party needs to come home, pass the Biden agenda, and honor its commitments to voters.

The West Virginia senator insists that work requirements be included in the bill, despite all the evidence suggesting they are unnecessary and ineffective.

It will pass. And we’ll all forget how worried we were that it wouldn’t.

The party will try to fund the government, raise the debt ceiling, and pass an infrastructure deal before the end of the month. No big deal!

The senator is no mystery. Fossil fuels feature heavily in both his personal and professional finances.

And they’re hurting their own reelection chances in the process.

If Biden wants to convince voters of the urgency of his plans, he’ll need a stronger way to sell the Democrats’ reconciliation bill.

The upper chamber’s alternative to the For the People Act does not include any of that bill’s safeguards against the abuses of the Trump era.
