On issue after issue, the polls - and these are not snapshot polls; these are polls over a consistent period of time - show that most Americans share what one could call core liberal or progressive values: investment in health care and education over tax cuts; fair trade over free trade; corporate accountability over deregulation; environmental protection over laissez-faire policies; defending Social Security and Medicare over privatizing them; raising the minimum wage over eliminating it. The country prefers progressive alternatives to the failed policies of the conservative right.

It's the first time in U.S. history a presidential candidate has not revealed his tax returns, or a president.I think that the poll ratings are in the gutter right now, right? Donald Trump's, even before he's been inugurated.

John Lewis did more in one day on The Edmund Pettus Bridge than Donald Trump ever will do to make America great again.

I think it is a good thing that the United States will now be a party to the talks, to resolve a metastasizing crisis in Syria, which will destabilize Europe.

This country needs to take a deep breath. We are a strong, resilient nation. And the idea that the Russians hacked our election needs to be investigated. There is very little evidence at that moment except for the DNC servers.

We need to find a new way forward. There are keys ways progressives can speak.

One of the most radical things that you can do is really listen to someone.
