Protesters demonstrate in support of President Donald Trump, April 15,
2019, near the former Bethlehem Steel Plant, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Why and Where the Working Class Turned Right
:
Long before the Democrats embraced allegedly "radical" social policies,
they had effectively told millions of working-class Americans their
livelihoods were expendable. Harold Meyerson reviews Rust Belt Union
Blues by Lainey Newman and Theda Skocpol, which explains why
working-class voters in union towns turned to the right.
Boeing 737 MAX Incident a By-Product of Its Financial Mindset
:
The plug door that fell off a Boeing 737 MAX Alaska Airlines plane,
found Sunday night, was the result of design choices to cut costs and
facilitate cramming more passengers into the cabin. Luke Goldstein has
the story.
The Biden Box
:
At this point in the race, there is no plausible scenario in which
President Biden would be replaced with a candidate better positioned to
beat Trump. But as Robert Kuttner argues, must Biden take America down
with him?
The Fight for $15 Can Take a Bow
:
25 states and 60 localities will raise their minimum wages in 2024. As
Gabrielle Gurley reports, Advocates now see $15 as the floor and $20 as
the new frontier.
Trump's Lawyers Invite Biden to Assassinate Him
:
In court, former President Trump's legal team argued that presidential
immunity extends to ordering political assassinations, as long as they
have not been impeached. Ryan Cooper takes the Trump team's argument to
its logical conclusion.
