Here's the Left of Lansing "Monday Musing" for January 5, 2026.

In the first "Monday Musing" of 2026, Pat Johnston explains how this election year can't just be about voting for Democrats. 

It must be about voting for Democrats who push a real and aggressive populist-progressive working class agenda while the Trump Regime and MAGA Republicans represent only the elite corporate donor class. 

Pat says it must be not only about defeating MAGA, but also defeating establishment Democrats, like Michigan Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens who's running for the U.S. Senate, who stand in the way of advancing any real and bold working class agenda. 

This country is turning more right-wing authoritarian, and the only way to combat it is through real and strong progressive change.
