The Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) and MoveOn.org's executive director endorsed Wisconsin Democratic Party chair Ben Wikler for Democratic National Committee chair on Wednesday.
The Hill was the first outlet to report on the two endorsements.
“Ben is an organizer and he has built the most successful state party in America with the results to prove it by being an organizer,” PCCC founder Adam Green said in an interview with The Hill. “That is...
Democrats, forget ‘resistance’ and focus on ‘betrayal’
Over the last month, we’ve woken up to many stories that sound a lot like this one, from the New York Times: “The Democratic Party emerged from this week’s election struggling over what it stood for, anxious about its political future, and bewildered about how to compete with a Republican Party that some Democrats say may be headed for a period of electoral dominance.”
But that piece was actually published on Nov. 7, 2004 — 20 years ago.

The Memo: Democrats try to figure out where they go from here
Democrats are asking what went wrong and where they go from here, as President-elect Trump prepares to take office in January.
The dust may be beginning to settle from Vice President Harris’s loss, but the questions for a party that has lost control of every branch of government have only grown sharper.
Every aspect of the Democrats’ political project — who will lead the party, how they will counter Trump, and what adjustments they need to make to ensu...

How America can make health insurance great again
You may be thinking, “When was health insurance in America ever great?” Point taken, but at least there was a time when health insurance was more affordable and individuals were better able to buy what they wanted, not what the government demanded. And the good news is Republicans can take steps toward getting us moving in that direction again.
For 30 years Democrats have tried to make health insurance “affordable” — or even “free” if Sen. Bernie Sanders (I...
A new agenda for a new Democratic Party
Following Vice President Kamala Harris’s defeat — which also saw Democrats lose the Senate and fail to retake the House of Representatives — one thing is fundamentally clear: The Democratic Party needs a new agenda if it hopes to win in the future.
Quite simply, Democrats cannot continue with the same playbook they’ve used for much of the past decade. It has alienated their base and threatens to relegate the party as a whole to minority status for years to come....
What big change in health care really looks like
Health care reform is an evergreen topic that keeps thousands of health policy wonks busily wringing their hands. Yet, little meaningful reform ever takes place, while spending continually rises at an unsustainable rate.
It’s as if we’re watching the famous psychology experiment where participants are so focused on counting basketball passes that they fail to notice a person in a gorilla suit walking through the scene. In health care, we’re so fixated on the min...
What to know about Pam Bondi, Trump’s attorney general pick
President-elect Trump again turned to a loyalist in tapping former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Bondi was a swift pick just hours after former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) withdrew himself from consideration for the role.
“For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans - Not anymore. Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making A...
