Jeffrey Sachs America's Presidents Don't
Actually Run the Country
<
Aug 26 2026 © United States #JeffreySachs #USForeignPolicy Professor Jeffrey Sachs argues that American foreign policy is no longer driven by elected leadership or public opinion, but by what he describes as an unaccountable security apparatus that has operated largely independent of oversight since the CIA's creation in 1947. Sachs traces what he sees as two core problems in American governance: a security state empowered to act with deniability and minimal accountability, and a campaign finance system he argues was effectively deregulated by Supreme Court rulings, allowing corporate and lobbying money to dominate Congress. He connects this to a pattern of costly, unsuccessful wars - from Vietnam effectively deregulated by Supreme Court rulings, allowing corporate and lobbying money to dominate Congress. He connects this to a pattern of costly, unsuccessful wars - from Vietnam to Iraq to the current conflict with Iran - arguing that each has ultimately weakened rather than strengthened America's global position. The conversation also covers deepening economic inequality in the United States, declining public trust across the political spectrum, and Sachs' perspective on emerging political movements attempting to challenge the status quo from within both major parties. A wide-ranging critique of American institutions and foreign policy from a leading economist.

I'll be honest up front: I'm about to ask for your help. But first, I want to tell you why it matters so much right now.
The Democratic Party is in a do-or-die moment. In 2024 we lost a winnable election to a corrupt, authoritarian billionaire — 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵.
Here's the honest part: 𝘄𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 – 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗣𝗔𝗖𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗜𝗣𝗔𝗖. It was the fight of our lives, and it emptied our account at the exact moment the real fight begins.
Because now we're up against MAGA Mike Rogers: Trump's handpicked candidate, backed by the national GOP and the $51 million Senate Leadership Fund.

We beat the big money once. But they're back, bigger, and this time the majority is on the line.
So I'm asking for your help. Not just to send me to the Senate, but to prove a people-powered movement can defeat Trumpism and the wannabe oligarchs bankrolling it, for decades to come.
