Partizane 2007 – 2008 was a home, a hidey hole away from the usual progressive haunts. We weren’t a huge group but we were comfy here. At least until some questioned my feminism and I had to come to terms with my inner misogynist. I hope I’ve grown in 10 years. Time will tell, but I try. 2024 is different and the stakes are way higher. I’m not sure what I want this site to be. I just know that I cannot sit idly by as my country descends into fascism. Partizane comes from one of the names for Partisans and the pointed, hooked poles they used. It was most…

By Natasha Bertrand Bruce Ohr. Lisa Page. Andrew Weissman. Andrew McCabe.  President Trump has relentlessly attacked these FBI and Justice Department officials as dishonest “Democrats” engaged in a partisan “witch hunt” led by the special counsel determined to tie his campaign to Russia. But Trump’s attacks have also served to highlight another thread among these officials and others  who have investigated his campaign: their extensive experience in probing money laundering and organized crime, particularly as they pertain to Russia. As Trump praised and defended Russian President Vladimir Putin along the campaign trail, financial analysts and money laundering experts  questioned whether the real-estate mogul had any financial incentives—including business ties or…

By Elaine Godfrey Written by Elaine Godfrey (@elainejgodfrey) Today in 5 Lines In a letter to House and Senate leaders, President Trump said he wants to cancel pay raises for civilian federal workers that were set to take effect in January. “We must maintain efforts to put our Nation on a fiscally sustainable course, and Federal agency budgets cannot sustain such increases,” Trump wrote. In early morning tweets, Trump denied that the Russia investigation influenced the departure of White House Counsel Don McGahn. The FBI charged a California man who threatened to kill employees of The Boston Globe after calling them the “enemy of the people” in a series of…

By Elaine Godfrey Mike Capuano has been a progressive force for decades. The Massachusetts congressman backed “Medicare for All” well before it was fashionable, and he led the effort to make Somerville a so-called “sanctuary city” more than 30 years ago. His speech berating bank CEOs for their role in the last recession was immortalized in a 2010 documentary. And Trump? He’s supported an impeachment vote. Nevertheless, progressives want more. Ayanna Pressley, a 44-year-old African American woman and a Boston City Council member, is running against Capuano from the left. Perhaps because there’s not much daylight between them policy-wise, Pressley and her backers insist the primary race is about much…

By Reihan Salam “Medicare for All” is an enormously popular slogan, as evidenced by a slew of recent surveys. Its widespread appeal has emboldened the growing ranks of America’s democratic socialists, the more ambitious of whom see it as the entering wedge of a larger transformation of the country’s economic life. It’s also an indulgent fantasy, based on the illusion that we can simply reset the way the U.S. health-care system operates. And for those who doubt the wisdom of moving the U.S. health system further under state control, and who believe that Medicare is less the solution to its woes than a prime source of them, it’s both a…

By Elaine Godfrey Written by Elaine Godfrey (@elainejgodfrey), Madeleine Carlisle (@maddiecarlisle2), and Olivia Paschal (@oliviacpaschal) Today in 5 Lines President Trump said White House Counsel Don McGahn will leave the White House this fall after the presumed confirmation of Trump’s Supreme Court pick, Brett Kavanaugh. Representative Ron DeSantis, the Republican gubernatorial candidate in Florida, said voters would “monkey this up” if they elected his Democratic opponent, Andrew Gillum, who is African American. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is reportedly planning new policies that would bolster the rights of students accused of sexual assault, protect colleges from liability, and encourage more support for victims. A day after researchers estimated that nearly 3,000…

By David A. Graham When Don McGahn leaves the White House this fall, it will end one of the longest, and most improbably successful, stints in the Trump administration. President Donald Trump announced on Twitter Wednesday morning that his White House counsel would leave after the presumed confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court. Axios had reported the news earlier Wednesday morning. McGahn’s exit is not a great surprise—expectations of a departure sometime this fall had circulated for some time, with Kavanaugh’s appointment as the likely bookend. The greater surprise is that McGahn lasted so long in the role, and that he was so effective. He was always…
