Progressives Everywhere

Welcome to a premium Friday evening edition of Progressives Everywhere! This will be the last edition of Progressives Everywhere — not because we’re ending the newsletter, but because we’re expanding it. Starting Sunday, this publication will be called Progress Report, and it’ll have a new design and bigger goals, with additional journalist contributors on the way. You won’t have to change anything on your end; just make sure you’re opening emails with the new name on them.

Welcome to a premium Tuesday evening edition of Progressives Everywhere! It is often hard for me to gauge how long it takes for news stories to reach normal, non-obsessive people who work jobs that don’t require them to stare at the internet and consume minute-by-minute updates all day, but I’m guessing that the mere fact of your receiving this newsletter means that you are pretty up to date on national headlines.

Welcome to a big Sunday edition of Progressives Everywhere! As I mentioned in Friday’s email, we are now about a week away from rolling out a new name and expanded coverage plan for the newsletter, and I really can’t wait to share it with you. For the past few years, I’ve been honestly honored to provide free premium newsletter subscriptions to interested readers living on tight budgets.

Welcome to a premium Friday edition of Progressives Everywhere! I usually send this one out on Thursday evenings, but I needed a bit of extra time to put together tonight’s main feature. I’m also making the big story available to the entire email list because everyone should have a very clear picture of the nightmare unfolding in Florida If you’d like to support our work so that we can produce more public interest stories for a broad audience, you can become a premium member.

Welcome to a big Sunday edition of Progressives Everywhere! There is no shortage of urgent news and stories to dig into this weekend, from right-wing treachery in state politics to right-wing treachery in international state politics, so I’ll save the preamble and jump right into it.

Welcome to the big Sunday edition of Progressives Everywhere! We’re now in the nexus of back-to-back American holidays, the Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day, so I’m going to keep tonight’s newsletter nice and tidy. No meandering opening here — let’s jump right to our main story, featuring a trailblazing progressive lawmaker bidding to make history in Congress.

Welcome to the big Sunday edition of Progressives Everywhere! I’m excited for you to read tonight’s newsletter — our big story is an interview with a progressive Democrat running a serious campaign against one of the worst sell-outs in Congress, and then we’ll touch on some (mostly) good news coming out of state courts and legislatures. Even better, this newsletter is a 100% Joe Rogan-free zone.

Go down the line of elected officials in Mississippi, from local offices to US senators, and you’ll find one Republican after the next. It’s not one of the sunbelt states like Texas or Georgia that has been creeping towards turning blue for a decade now, either — with a nearly 30-seat advantage in the State House and an iron grip on statewide offices, Mississippi is about as red as it gets.

Welcome to the big Sunday edition of Progressives Everywhere! There are Christmas trees scattered all across the slushy sidewalks of New York City right now, a minor annual pedestrian hazard that I imagine our new mayor will try to solve by creating a new Department of Woodchipping and hiring a cousin who owns a diet supplement import-export business to run it. It’s going to be a long four years here in NYC — if Eric Adams makes it that long.

Welcome to the big Monday edition of Progressives Everywhere! You’re right: I usually send this out on Sunday. But between traveling (I just got back to New York from Nashville) and the real-time unraveling of the Biden presidency, I decided it’d be best to hold a beat and see where the news cycle landed. Turns out things got even worse! We have reached a series of inflection points, where a few decisions and conversations could shape the course of the next ten years.
