Governing New Jersey w/Matt Platkin
The role that Democratic AGs play in protecting democracy and the rule of law is more important than ever. Under the Trump Administration, Democratic AG's were routinely successful in taking on the Trump Administration’s efforts to undermine the rule of law and rollback key protections. Join us as we hear from New Jersey's Attorney General in a discussion with former US Secretary Of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson, in our governing New Jersey Series on the steps New Jersey's top law enforcement officer is making to protect our rights and uphold the rule of law.

Putin, Stalin and the Party of RICO
Small “d” democracy
By Mark Lurinsky.
We have just witnessed three stunning events with heavy impacts on the future of democracy and the rule of law in the world and our own country. They fell along the broad themes of crime, punishment and decline.
A Crime: The abrupt death of the mercenary leader Yevgeny Prighozen in the third week of August has corroborated much of what we already knew about the bloodthirsty reign of Russian ruler Vladimir Putin. Experts have verified that the breaking apart in mid-air of Prighozen’s private plane – visible in a dramatic televised video – was almost certainly not the result of mechanical failure. Observers around the world have commented on its similarity to the uncanny number of other suspicious, unresolved deaths, or near-deaths of prominent Russians who have run afoul of Putin, both members of that country’s fledgling democracy movement and others viewed as potential rivals to the would-be president for life. ¹
Diplomacy - Another Reason 2024 Is Key
Small “d” democracy
By Mark Lurinsky
The New York Times has reported that the Biden administration is quietly pursuing fresh talks with the leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran toward what has been called an informal “political cease-fire”.
A potential pact under discussion through the auspices of third parties, as confirmed to the Times by an Iranian official, a U.S. official and three senior Israelis, would likely include:
- Iran freezing it’s enrichment of uranium at its current level
- The Islamic Republic expanding its cooperation with the inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (I.A.E.A.)
- Iran refraining from selling ballistic missiles to Russia
- A halt to lethal attacks on U.S. contractors in Syria and Iraq by irregular forces aligned with the Iranian regime
Abortion and Ballot Measures
Public polling has long shown that most Americans believe in the right to reproductive freedom. Abortion was on the ballot this past election and the American public made their support clear on Nov. 8th.
Golf Whitewashing at Trump Bedminster
Golf Whitewashing at Trump Bedminster
Small “d” democracy
By Mark Lurinsky.
The PGA Tour is an American-based century old sports institution that wants to continue as the focus of the golf world. So in June it took the unprecedented step of suspending 17 players who broke ranks and accepted the lure of megabucks to play in and promote the rival “LIV Golf Series” sponsored by the repressive Saudi Arabian monarchy. If you haven’t been following the story, the Saudi’s are trying to pull off what is in effect a hostile takeover of global professional golf for the purpose of whitewashing their notoriety. In a reference to the role of the regime in the infamous murder and gruesome dismembering of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi, the New York Times columnist and economist Paul Krugman aptly labeled the Saudi sports events the “Bone Saw Tour”.[1] By extension, those few players who were somehow unsatisfied with the high dollars pro golf is affording them are literally now “playing along” with the Saudi’s whitewash attempts, unlike their PGA Tour colleagues, such as Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, who wouldn’t take the money.

While Senator Joe Manchin dealt a hard blow to Democrats' agenda last week by withdrawing support from climate change investments and a partial rollback of Trump's tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy, the remaining parts of an all-Democratic bill, which Manchin expressed support for, are all healthcare-related and vitally important.
