Revelations about McKinsey’s grotesque actions to further the opioid epidemic should remind us how closely entwined the company is with the Democratic Party. We should work toward a day when McKinsey’s presence on your résumé is as disqualifying as a gun manufacturer or a tobacco company.
The lunacy on display at last night's Republican National Convention is what keeps frightened liberal voters satisfied with the meager crumbs of progress offered by the Democrats — and the meagerness of those crumbs is what keeps working-class whites inside an increasingly lunatic GOP.
Moderates claim that Biden’s BBB failed because it simply “went too far.” The truth is that even if it had passed, it would have excluded scores of working families.
Electing Zohran Mamdani is just the beginning. To actually win his agenda against billionaire opposition, we need to build popular power — permanent grassroots organizations that can mobilize tens of thousands to have his back when the fight gets real.
Funded by corporations seeking to suppress antitrust scrutiny, Democratic senator Jeanne Shaheen has put forth new legislation that would cut the budget of federal antitrust enforcers.
There’s no natural law that says the Democrats have to lose next year’s midterm elections. But if Democrats can’t fundamentally improve the quality of life for working-class voters, there’s good reason to think they will lose.
Left-wing candidate Gustavo Petro is still leading the polls ahead of this month’s Colombian presidential election. If he succeeds, Petro will have to overcome the dark legacy of Colombia’s hard-right oligarchy and a shameful history of US intervention.
Colombia’s energy transition is not just playing out in policy papers — it’s unfolding in oil fields, coal towns, and courtrooms. Jacobin spoke with engineers, unionists, and President Petro himself about trying to realize a post-extractivist economy.
While the Biden administration continues arms sales to Saudi Arabia, the death toll is only mounting in Yemen. Aid workers on the ground tell us the situation is worse than ever.
Today, Senate Democrats vote on the DISCLOSE Act, legislation that would force nonprofits spending on elections and judicial nominations to publicly name their donors. Lawmakers should pass this bill — but without ending the filibuster, they probably can't.
The US is trying to reduce its dependence on China. China is trying to be totally economically self-sufficient. But they can’t seem to let each other go.
As soon as it became electorally inconvenient, the Democrats largely dropped their support for police reform and adopted a crime-fighting approach straight out of the ’90s. The result: shocking police murders like Tyre Nichols’s have become more common.

The barbarities keep coming in Gaza. This week saw a massacre in Gaza City of at least 60 people, mostly children and women, many of them burned alive — followed by a massacre of over 100 in a “humanitarian safe zone.”
The pro-Trump Zoomer sees the 2020s as a degenerate age and the ’80s as a time when men were men. It’s why their homemade videos are filled with VHS scan lines, old Gillette commercials, and Van Halen’s “Jump.”
Both parties’ 2024 campaigns claimed to be about “saving democracy.” Yet both parties ended up bought and paid for by billionaires.
The International Longshoremen's Association secured a considerable pay raise after a three-day strike that brought port operations to a halt. But the fight against job-killing automation continues.
