Remember how the "news" media was going on and on about the Clinton Foundation -- at least when they weren't going on and on abut Hillary Clinton's emails, or airing entire Trump rallies for free?

Now we have the hard numbers to do a thorough assessment of what really happened in our nation's 58th presidential election. One thing is certain. The votes are out there. Democrats have four years to go get them.

Democratic operatives got the story wrong ... Fortunately, the rest of the country isn’t waiting for someone else to figure it out. A national movement of resistance – and affirmation – is already underway.

Trump’s selection of DeVos for Education Secretary isn't the only clue that his education policy may be veering to the religious right. A connection to a small Christian college reveals even more about where he's taking the nation's schools

Coal miners, their communities and Faith groups are calling on President-presumed-Elect Donald Trump to honor his campaign promise to help coal workers.

The coalition warns "Trump’s policies present a dire threat to the lives and well-being of workers and contractors across the tech sector ... be they immigrants, women, workers or Muslim Americans."

Keith Ellison is the perfect messenger and chief organizer for these times. Tom Perez was a great Labor Secretary but he represents continuity for the same White House operatives that have run the Democratic Party for the last eight years.

At this point Trump's staffing process has pretty much turned into an extended exercise in trolling, a test to see how much humiliation Americans will endure. It's also kleptocratic grift, of course.

Years ago, I reported on how the Bush administration followed the counsel of a January 2001 Heritage Foundation memo, "Taking Charge of Federal Personnel." Now the Trump administration is dusting it off.

Radical changes coming, the will of We the People notwithstanding. We need to organize, protest, resist and most of all apply pressure to politicians. We can't let them get away with this.

President-elect Trump promised, “The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.” Working people across America who heard that and his jobs and trade promises believed him. Those hopes must not become false hopes.

What does it tell us when leading Democrats are more agitated about unproven allegations of Russian election-rigging than they are about proven allegations of Republican election-rigging?

If you are an older American – or if you expect to live past your early sixties – and aren’t wealthy, recent news stories may have led you to conclude that the Republican Party is at war with you. If so, you’re not wrong.

Congress is set to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which means that the drug companies will lose millions of customers. Because drug companies will want to make up for their lost revenue, drug prices are likely to rise.

Donald Trump's recent cabinet picks have a history of being very good … to Donald Trump. Working Americans won’t be as lucky. His latest hire is wrestling billionaire Linda McMahon. In wrestling terms, he's treating voters like "jabronies."

Trump, believe it or not, is President-elect of the United States. That is a position of great power, commanding great influence over what people think and do.

In the years right after World War II, average Americans got ahead. Now Americans are getting headaches — from a ferociously top-heavy distribution of the nation’s income.

Newly published data confirms that, conservative rhetoric notwithstanding, Americans pay very little in taxes compared to residents of other developed countries. That includes US corporations.

Our Revolution and Good Jobs Nation will hold a rally with low-wage federal contract workers Wednesday to call on President-elect Trump to honor his promises to working people, including federal contractor employees.

The future was supposed to bring prosperity and leisure to working people, not joblessness and misery. But that was before the money guys took over.

Most public-sector jobs are secure middle-class jobs that attract educated workers willing to work for less. Yu wouldn’t know this to read reports from the American Enterprise Institute, the Arnold Foundation, and countless others.

A trade deficit is a deficit in people's jobs and livelihoods. Forty straight years of trade deficits is a big part of what led to Donald Trump.

1300 Carrier manufacturing jobs are still going to Mexico. And the 800 jobs staying in Indiana aren't safe, because Carrier is moving to automate much of the work, with the help of the American taxpayer.

The right-wing assault on the advances our country has made in the more than 70 years since the presidency of FDR isn’t waiting for Donald Trump’s inauguration.

In my travels around North Carolina, I ask school board members, legal and education experts, and charter advocates to explain how a state that doesn't seem to adequately fund existing public schools.

Corporate-backed Republicans in Congress are pushing to strip "Buy America" provisions from a bill to help fix the country's water systems. Trump campaigned on government help for American manufacturing and jobs. How will this play out?

Posturing as working class heroes who abandon free-market ideology to battle globalist forces is not a new look for Republicans. In 2002, George W. Bush pandered to PA and WV voters by slapping tariffs on imported steel.

The Illinois General Assembly voted to approve the Future Energy Jobs Package, a bill which would more than double renewable energy generation in the state. Our victory in this fight proves that we can still win big in the age of Trump.
