Republican fantasies about "repealing and replacing" the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are crashing on the rocks of two-to-one public opposition, and a tidal wave of ordinary people who are demanding their Members of Congress vote NO.
So what about a real plan to make the ACA even better? What about a plan to provide even more access to health care and make premiums more affordable – especially for working people — rather than the GOP plan to take health care away from millions?

The daily revelations of the entanglement of Trump’s entourage have Republicans squirming and Democrats salivating at the smell of blood in the water. Former boogeymen like the CIA and the FBI have suddenly become heroes to liberals. After years of relative quietude, Russia has emerged once again as the evil empire, as if we were living in the height of the Cold War.

David Wood - Huffington Post
Heather Booth doesn’t look like a revolutionary. She sits demurely on a sofa, dressed simply in black, fingering a silver necklace. She speaks softly, selecting her words with care and enunciating cleanly. Dignity. Respect. Community.
But something comes over her when she begins to talk about helping people organize to make their world better. The sweet smile fades. She sits up straighter. Her voice tightens, the words come faster. Power. Together. Act. She strikes a gently curled fist into an open palm. IM-pact.

There is so much craziness going on in the political world right now that it makes it hard to think, as random supernovas of strangeness keep exploding in the political atmosphere. But like physicists trying to explain all the seeming contradictions and strange anomalies of how the universe operates, maybe we should be looking for a theory that unifies everything, a theory that can explain all the total weirdness of American politics right now. Today, I go in search of a unifying theory of political everything.
How to explain all this weirdness in the political universe:

The rise of Donald Trump -- and the events of the last week -- have promoted serious discussion of the question of whether fascism can in fact triumph in the United States of America.
I do not raise that question simply as a means of slurring an opposition political candidate, or movement. I raise it as a technical, analytic question that deserves a serious answer.

Despite what the pundits say, the outcome of Democratic primary is far from inevitable
Reported as being 25 points down in the polls only one week ago, Bernie Sanders shocked the Clinton campaign—and more interestingly, political pundits and pollsters by besting Clinton in Michigan.
And only one week ago, reading the headlines and listening to the pundit-class commentary on Clinton’s big victory on Super Tuesday and her goliath lead over Sanders’ delegate count one could have assumed that the race is over.

Our own Brett Di Resta offers his latest thinking on research and the failures of GOP research on Trump. Listen to the piece here.
This highly competitive race to choose a presidential nominee in the Republican and Democratic parties should be spurring furious and exhaustive opposition research - skeletons in closets, flip-flops, and damning video and audio recordings.

Chicago has a long history of wars. The bootlegger wars of the 1920s, the Council Wars of the 1980s and the annual winter parking spot wars, to name a few.
Now, thanks to Ald. Proco "Joe" Moreno, 1st, we may have a chance at another — garbage wars. Moreno has proposed that Chicago's new monthly garbage fee of $9.50 per household for single family residence be replaced with a "pay-as-you-throw" fee. Under his proposal the more garbage a household creates, the more it would pay.

Just when you thought that the fringe right-wing politicians who have taken over the Republican Party couldn't veer any further out of the American political mainstream, they prove once again that they are willing to discard any democratic institution or constitutional principle that stands in their way.
In fact, for all their talk of "original intent" or strict adherence to the rule of law, or the language and spirit of the Constitution, they couldn't give a rat's back end when their radical right wing agenda is in jeopardy.

Real change requires that we expand our understanding of what actions are needed on the part of the mayor, the police and anyone who claims the mantle of the city’s leadership. Two films that premiered this past fall provide guidance of the kind of leadership that today is missing.

Here's Bob Creamer's latest piece from the Huffington Post outlining the new billionaire-backed attacks on the California Teachers Association - and by extension - all hard-working Americans.
Warning: CEO Class’ Next Big Attack on the Incomes of Ordinary Americans

A full-page ad in today's New York Times calls on elected officials, leading public voices, and the media to “stop the spread of hate and division” as the U.S. faces a rising tide of Islamophobia, racism, and fear-baiting alongside a spate of violent attacks that seem fueled and at times directly inspired by such dangerous rhetoric.

Opposition research is one of the least understood disciplines in politics. In my experience, it’s not Dumpster diving, paparazzi-style lurking or attending clandestine meetings in empty parking garages in a feverish quest for dirt. Rather, it’s the search for facts.

Salaita’s settlement is a victory for him and academic freedom. But will we ever know who was watching him—and us?
BY MARILYN KATZ
What the Salaita case most reminded me of was the rise of McCarthyism and the Red Scare, which destroyed careers and lives through the very kind of manipulation of words and ideas seen here.
