- Democrats reclaimed Congress, but what does a blue wave deliver for Black communities? Speaking to Say Brother 1980s, Rev. Al Sharpton challenged northern white liberals’ progressive reputation, reflecting his longstanding criticism of the Democratic Party’s commitment to Black Americans. Decades later, Pew Research Center found strong support for Black Lives Matter among white Democrats and Democratic leaners fell from 62% in June 2020 to 40% in 2023. The 2026 victories renew the question of whether political representation will translate into sustained investment in Black communities.

- In 2010, Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat becomes the final battle ground for healthcare reform – and the focus of Americans’ outrage on the issue. Meanwhile, Mitt Romney must reckon with his own record as he begins his run for President.
Healthcare is the problem American politics cannot solve. It’s the subject of screaming matches at town halls, the cause of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, the justification for political assassination in cold blood. But how did our most basic need become such a divisive issue?
In Season Four of The Big Dig podcast, "Mitt & Ted", we tell the origin story of national healthcare reform. Mitt Romney and Ted Kennedy began their political journeys on opposite sides of the issue, and they ended once again on opposite sides, but for a brief period in the middle they worked together to pass a groundbreaking law – one that promised to finally transform the politics of American healthcare – the law known as Romne...
