A new DNC video asserting that the GOP and the tea party are “one and the same” echoes a message Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison made at the press event: “There is no doubt that the Republican Party and the Tea Party cause have been fused.”
In the face of GOP calls for tax cuts to promote business growth, Ellison argues that "public sector jobs promote private jobs too...They boost the economy."
After months of partisan fighting, President Obama and the Democrats were able to celebrate Wednesday as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform bill was signed into law.
Ellison drove home the point that it's not enough just to do the research for innovative clean-energy technologies. We also need to set the right policies to ensure that those technologies can be deployed here.
Think Progress interviewed Ellison and asked him about another facet of America’s counter-terrorism strategy: the use of Predator drones to assassinate suspected terrorists.
