Florida Democratic Senate candidate: Jan. 6 like Latin American authoritarianism
Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, a former congresswoman looking to unseat Florida Sen. Rick Scott (R), compared the Jan. 6, 2021, riot on the Capitol to attacks on democracy in Latin American countries.
Ecuador-born Mucarsel-Powell, the first member of Congress born in South America, fled her birth country as a teenager with her family in 1985.
“As a South American immigrant with family still in Latin America, I’ve seen the effects of authoritarian regimes firsthand, and the ...

Six Americans who left lasting legacies in 2023
“I do not want to achieve immortality through my work,” Woody Allen once wrote. “I want to achieve immortality by not dying. I don’t want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen. I want to live on in my apartment.”
While Allen is quite unlikely to get his wish, many other Americans should live on through their good works, inspiring their countrymen. Here are six of them, some better known than others, who died in 2023.

Fee-for-service healthcare is making us sick
More than 1.3 billion adults globally will have diabetes by 2050, according to a study released this year. In the U.S., our current health system — which is structured around treatment, not prevention — is woefully unprepared to deal with this reality.
For over 150 years, the U.S. healthcare infrastructure has centered on symptoms, doctors and treatments — not on patients. From our data collection to our systems design and payment models, it’s more profitable to treat sick pat...

Why Trump can’t stop attacking the Affordable Care Act
Donald Trump has little to gain from his incessant attacks on the ACA. It’s worth considering why the Republican is keeping the offensive going anyway.
Ranking Biden’s campaign trail star surrogates
President Biden’s reelection campaign has deployed high-profile surrogates across the country to give him all the help he can get ahead of 2024.
The president’s persistently low approval rating has raised concerns among Democrats over his ability to win in November — possibly in a rematch against former President Trump.
To help Biden, his campaign will be relying on allies to raise enthusiasm among Democrats and get out the vote.
Here is a ranking of Biden’...
