But the progressive, /#Warren wing of the party installed some *fantastically* competent, hard-charging, principled fighters, who are chapter-and-verse on their regulatory authority and have the courage to *use* that authority:

Says 'Much More Has to Be Done' to Cut Prices

"Bottom line: We should not be paying any more for prescription drugs than other countries around the world," said Sanders.

Sanders (I-Vt.), the chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, welcomed the administration's move as "an important step forward in taking on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry and their 1,800 paid lobbyists in Washington, D.C."

John Paladin: Pushes to Embrace Expansion.
It’s not enough to point out the reactionary, anti-worker vision of the Party, the democratic senator stressed.

@MattMerk @nyquildotorg
I would have agreed with you about both parties being entirely run by big business, up until a few weeks ago.
After breaking the strike, which pissed me off fiercely, the Dems (, , , et al) kept pushing on the rail barons behind the scenes until the rail workers got sick leave. They actually followed through!
So I now say the Dems are only mostly owned by big business, not wholly.

ALWAYS AN INDIRECT PLUTOCRACY
Bernie Is Right: Extreme Wealth Concentration Has Turned America Into an Oligarchy

jacobin.com/2022/10/bernie-san

A new congressional report commissioned by Bernie Sanders finds that the 1 percent now own one-third of all wealth, while the bottom half of Americans hold only 2 percent. It’s another sign of the slide into oligarchy that Sanders has warned about for years.

If we can't think outside the box of the Dem party, then we are already doomed. Apparently dem-aligned "progressives" are ok with war crimes now?

AOC announced endorsement of Biden "given the field" on the VERY SAME day Biden admin announces US will send cluster bombs to Ukraine.

Worldwide, civilians represent 97% of all cluster munition casualties, according to a report in August by the Landmine and Cluster Munition Monitor. Unexploded "bomblets" will kill and maim children decades after the war. To this day, vietnam war era UXO (unexploded ordinance) is killing children and civilians in Laos and elsewhere. 20,000 in Laos since the war ended, and still counting.

What makes diabolical UXO especially deadly for children is that they often look like toys or balls.

"The US government’s congressional research service recently estimated that, at the current rate of clearance, it would take another 100 years to make Laos UXO-free."

Many US allies have banned the use of cluster munitions long ago. The world was making good progress relegating these things to the dust bin of history.

Am i the only one who thinks expanding their use like is insane? Is this an admission that the war in Ukraine is going so badly that we now need to start propping it up with war crimes? Does the word "progressive" have any actual semantic meaning left?

Thank God the Green Party exists.

With 3 men richer than 165 million people, Sanders urges working class to 'come together'

At a "Rally to Raise the Wage" in Charleston, South Carolina on Saturday, the independent politician and two-time presidential candidate railed against the inequality that remains so pervasive in the country and the political forces that seek to divide the working class.

"We demand an economy that works for all, not just the few"

For my latest, I dove into the nature of the debt ceiling and showed where key political figures like Speaker McCarthy and Senator Sanders (among many others) get it wrong. The full piece won't be live on Real Progressives (website) until tomorrow, so please enjoy this excerpt from my upcoming article!
