  • Abdul El-Sayed Isn’t Messing Around About Healthcare

    Abdul El-Sayed Isn’t Messing Around About Healthcare
    Jul 2 2026
    Last week, The Lever’s David Sirota traveled to Michigan to meet with Democratic Senate candidate and former public health official Abdul El-Sayed, who has become a political lightning rod as he campaigns in one of the country’s most consequential primaries. Today on Lever Time, we’re airing Sirota’s exclusive interview with El-Sayed. Speaking at a coffee shop in Macomb County — the Michigan county that birthed the term “Reagan Democrats” and where Trump won twice — they discuss how El-Sayed plans to pass Medicare For All, why AIPAC is spending millions to defeat him, and why he doesn’t want corporate Democrats’ invitations to cocktail parties.

  • What New York’s Socialists Know That Democrats Don’t

    What New York’s Socialists Know That Democrats Don’t
    Jun 25 2026
    Candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani swept the state’s Democratic primaries this week, to the chagrin of corporate interests and party elite. Pundits are calling the political insurgency “Blue MAGA” or “the Democrats’ Tea Party,” but the group behind the victory already has a name — the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) — and its grassroots strategy is paying off at the polls. Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with law professor Zephyr Teachout and Jacobin founder Bhaskar Sunkara to break down New York City’s primary results, the rise of the DSA, and whether the socialist revolution could take root in the rest of the country.

  • Why Is Newsom Fighting California’s Billionaire Tax?

    Why Is Newsom Fighting California’s Billionaire Tax?
    Jun 18 2026
    California voters are poised to vote on a one-time billionaire tax that would fund schools, food assistance, and Medicaid. Silicon Valley is spending big to keep the precedent-setting initiative off the November ballot, but the campaign's most powerful opponent isn’t a tech oligarch — it’s California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Democratic power broker and potential presidential candidate. Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Dave Regan, the union leader who engineered the billionaire tax, to find out why Newsom and his allies are racing to kill the measure — and what this fight reveals about oligarchs’ control of the Democratic Party.
