"It’s not only dubious as a matter of civics to write off the nation’s rural voters—it’s a serious strategic error that imperils Democrats’ ability to hold the Senate, let alone dominate it."

The decline of local news and the nationalization of news culture is threatening to tear our democracy apart.

NEW REPORT + THREAD: Most middle-class people don’t realize it, but the eventual need for long-term care (LTC) will force many of them to drain their savings and face impoverishment.
This is arguably the biggest hole in the American social safety net. niskanencenter.org/how-to-fi…

Delighted to be joining the @NiskanenCenter team!
We are thrilled to welcome @RobSaldin aboard as a senior fellow. He's doing some extremely important work on the future of the two parties, looking at the future of bipartisanship in a fractured era.

This is Mike Mansfield, Montana Democrat and Senate Majority Leader.
For five years, he courageously told his Democratic President, Lyndon Johnson, on telephone, to his face and elsewhere that he was doing the wrong thing in waging the Vietnam War.
Democracy at work.
