		A heavy favorite emerges in the race to lead the Democratic PartyBy Reid J. Epstein, The New York TimesKen Martin, one of the front-runners to lead the Democratic National Committee, said Tuesday that he had support from 200 members of the party, a level of backing that is close to what he needs to clinch victory.If that support holds for Martin, chair of the Minnesota Democrats, he would be just 25 votes short of the number necessary to win the party elections on Feb. 1.“I’m honored to have gained the support of leaders from across the country,” Martin said. “Our campaign is gaining momentum and we’re going to continue to work hard for people’s votes.”None of the other candidates in the race to lead the DNC have claimed anywhere near the level of support that Martin has. His campaign did not release a list of his backers, though more than 100 national committee members have made their support for him public.The other top contenders have announced far fewer public endorsements. One of them, Gov. Martin O’Malley of Maryland, has “just over 100” private commitments, according to his spokesperson, Chris Taylor.Ben Wikler, the Wisconsin Democratic chair seen as Martin’s main rival, had said that he would not release internal whip counts. But in response to Martin’s tally, Wikler’s spokesperson, Brianna Johnson, said Wikler’s count was “within 30 votes of Ken.”Johnson said Martin was “seeking to create a false sense of momentum.”Martin and Wikler share broadly similar mainstream politics, and the race has not been marked by major proposals to remake the party after President Donald Trump’s victory in November.Last week, Faiz Shakir, who served as the campaign manager for Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential bid, joined the race pledging to redefine the party as defenders of the working class.Martin, who founded and led an organization of Democratic state party leaders that morphed into a power center within the national committee and grew into an annoyance for its leaders, has demonstrated support among fellow state party chairs and vice chairs.Many institutional Democratic officials have privately complained about Martin’s attempt to lead the party, but they have made little public effort to block him from winning.Other candidates include Nate Snyder, a former homeland security official in the Obama and Biden administrations; Marianne Williamson, the former presidential candidate; and Jason Paul, a Massachusetts lawyer who said during a forum last week that his party lost the presidential election because “the political media has insisted on manufacturing Democratic controversies.”National committee members are set to gather on Feb. 1 at a hotel in Washington’s suburbs to elect their next chair. Jaime Harrison, the current chair, is not seeking reelection.

		Trump Actions to Undermine Drug Prices Will Cost Medicare Recipients MoneyBy Jeff Nesbit, Former Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the U.S. Department of Health and Human ServicesThe ContrarianJan 22 One of the nearly 200 executive orders that newly inaugurated President Donald Trump signed on Tuesday reversed several critical policies that President Biden had put in place. Among those was lowering drug costs for Americans. With the stroke of his pen, Trump removed a $2 price cap on certain generic drugs, did away with a provision that would improve access to high-cost therapies for Medicaid recipients, and ended an effort to expedite the evidence-gathering process for new drugs.To put it another way, President Trump just opened the door for drug prices to skyrocket. Without the implementation of these and similar plans focused on reducing costs, Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries will continue to face high out-of-pocket expenses for prescription drugs, and will have limited access to important—sometimes essential—prescriptions. We all know too many Americans already facing challenges paying for prescription drugs.President Biden’s Executive Order 14087 decried that Americans spend far more than “those in other countries for prescription drugs, and one in four Americans who take prescription drugs struggle to afford their medication.” The text painted a dire picture of America’s difficulty with expensive drugs: “Nearly three in ten American adults who take prescription drugs say that they have skipped doses, cut pills in half, or not filled prescriptions—all due to the high cost.”President Biden took bold action to reduce the cost of prescription drugs. Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, the price of insulin is capped at $35 per month, many vaccines (including those for Shingles and RSV) are now available at no cost to the roughly 50 million individuals on Medicare’s prescription drug program, “Part D,” and—starting this year—the amount of money people with Medicare Part D will pay out of pocket for drugs is capped at $2,000.One of the biggest provisions in the law gives Medicare the power to directly negotiate drug prices with manufacturers for the first time in the program's history. Last year, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) negotiated on the price of ten drugs and signed agreements with each participating pharmaceutical company that lowered the cost for drugs used to treat diabetes, stroke, heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer. As his last official act, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra announced the selection of fifteen additional drugs for price negotiations.Together, these twenty-five drugs account for about $91.5 billion in total gross covered prescription drug costs under Medicare Part D. Lowering costs will not only benefit individuals on Medicare—it will help secure the whole program for the future.It’s as plain as day: President Trump did away with these cost-saving plans so that his friends in the pharmaceutical industry could profit. Many administrations have tried to take on exorbitant price-gouging of seniors and failed. President Biden succeeded, and many Americans could enjoy these savings for years.The new Trump Administration has been so brazen as to increase costs on prescription drugs, making it all-too-evident with whom it stands…and it’s not America’s seniors.

Together, weâ€™ll work on having impactful conversations with your neighbors, growing our movement from the grassroots, and bringing more people into this process to win elections and effect real change. Our focus on housing is clear: we aim to overcome the obstacles to creating large-scale communities similar to Habitat for Humanityâ€”communities that give people a stake in where they live and a path to sustainable, affordable homeownership. These challenges wonâ€™t be easy to overcome, but with the strength of a united community, weâ€™re unstoppable. Every Friday, weâ€™ll host an online happy hour event to come together informally, share updates on our accomplishments for the week, discuss our plans for the week ahead, and celebrate our community's spirit and dedication.

Our focus on housing is clear: we aim to overcome the obstacles to creating large-scale communities similar to Habitat for Humanityâ€”communities that give people a stake in where they live and a path to sustainable, affordable homeownership. These challenges wonâ€™t be easy to overcome, but with the strength of a united community, weâ€™re unstoppable. Every Friday, weâ€™ll host an online happy hour event to come together informally, share updates on our accomplishments for the week, discuss our plans for the week ahead, and celebrate our community's spirit and dedication.

It's time to turn frustration into action, and weâ€™re doing it the Gonzo wayâ€”fueled by grit, purpose, and just the right amount of controlled chaos. This is more than a meeting; itâ€™s a movement. Think Jimmy Carter meets Hunter S. Thompsonâ€”hammers in hand, fire in our hearts, and a fierce determination to fight for housing justice.

Marin Indivisible January 24, 2025 @ 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/event/743943/ Dear Marin County Rebels, Weâ€™re calling all dreamers, schemers, and those fed up with the shiny veneer of privilege masking an underbelly of human suffering. Itâ€™s time to roll up your sleeves, lace up your boots, and join us in doing something real. Weâ€™re taking a page out of Jimmy Carterâ€™s bookâ€”building homes for those the system has left behindâ€”but weâ€™re doing it with a dose of Gonzo grit. Think hammers, nails, and a righteous sense of rebellion. While we build, weâ€™re also plotting resistanceâ€”organizing to fight the powers that be with the ferocity of a cornered badger. Invisible is the movement. Housing is the mission. Resistance is the mantra.

We drive for hours to bring soup after a funeral or to jump a car battery.
