The Greatest Achievement of Our Time
Jonathan Chait, The New RepublicAmerican liberals have a habit of withdrawing into cynicism and ennui at the most inopportune moments.

Sen. Sherrod Brown, OhioAmerican families know first-hand that health insurance premiums have been skyrocketing," Brown said. "This bill will lower costs for middle class families with insurance, while providing help to 31 million Americans who lack it. And insurers will have to play by a new set of rules, including an immediate ban on pre-existing […]
Dems Need to Move Back Toward Center
William Daley, Washington PostThe announcement by Alabama Rep. Parker Griffith that he is switching to the Republican Party is just the latest warning sign that the Democratic Party -- my lifelong political home -- has a critical decision to make: Either we plot a more moderate, centrist course or risk electoral disaster not just in the upcoming midterms but […]
