The Progressive Agenda
Here’s what Katie Porter would like to get done as a U.S. senator, which would, if enacted, bring the United States in line with the rest of the developed countries on Earth.

Well, let’s look at the first item: ending corporate influence in Washington. This requires Congress to completely abandon the method by which they get filthy rich.
Would that have worked at any time in the past? That’s debatable.
