September Meeting

Sunday, September 20 @ 2:30 PM
Peninsula Center Library Community Room & Zoom

The Palos Verdes Democrats is honored to host Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson via Zoom for our September meeting. Col. Wilkerson is one of the most preeminent authorities on the US military, international affairs and domestic politics in the United States today. Wilkerson’s commentary and analysis has appeared in the New York Times, NPR, MSNBC, CNN, Newsweek, Associated Press, Democracy Now!, The Real News Network (Canada), CBC News (Canadian Broadcasting), Haaretz (Israel), New America Foundation, The New Republic, Guardian UK, The Forward, Al Jazeera and more. Recently, Colonel Wilkerson has been interviewed on a number of YouTube channels, including Judge Napolitano, TeleSur (a multi-state funded news television network for Latin America), Breaking Points, Dialogue Works, Glenn Diesen, Katie Halper, the Chris Hedges Show, and others. From 2005-22, Lawrence Wilkerson was the Distinguished Visiting Professor of Government and Public Policy at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. During that time (2006-11), he also taught national security affairs in the Honors Program at the George Washington University in the nation’s capital. Before these professorships he was a member of the Policy Planning staff in the U.S. Department of State and Associate Director of that staff (2001-02) responsible for East Asia and the Pacific as well as acting as Policy Planning's liaison to State Department's Congressional Affairs office. In 2002 he became chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell (2002-05). Prior to these positions, Wilkerson was General Powell's special assistant when he was chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989-93) and his private consultant from 1997-00. He served 31 years in the US Army, retiring in 1989. Colonel Wilkerson is a lifelong Republican.

Colonel Wilkerson will address the ongoing war on Iran, Ukraine and conflict flashpoints worldwide. He will discuss Trump’s presidency with respect to the military, international diplomacy and the economy. He will assess the damage Trump has done to the United States domestically, to our standing in the world and how history will judge us.  He will share his strategic political advice on what the Democratic Party must do to win. Be ready for straight talk from the real deal.

Please Note: Due to a scheduling conflict, the School Board candidate discussion will be pushed to our October meeting.

President’s Report

By Tim Dixon
President, Palos Verdes Democrats

The Promises vs. the Reality: Are Americans Better Off?

During the 2024 campaign, Donald Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours, bring “no more wars,” lower grocery, gasoline, energy and health care costs—explicitly vowing to slash energy and electricity prices by 50 percent—defeat inflation, rein in federal spending and debt, drain the swamp and deliver an economic boom.

Those promises helped elect him President.

Now Americans have every right to ask: Did he keep them?

On issue after issue, the answer is no.

The Promises and the Reality

The war in Ukraine continues. But instead of bringing “no more wars,” Trump’s foreign policy escalated tensions and plunged the United States into a major conflict with Iran. Launched with no strategic plan and no clear exit strategy, this war has resulted in American soldiers being killed and hundreds more wounded. Six months later, the conflict has become a costly, unpopular stalemate with no clear end in sight, rising fuel prices, depleted U.S. munitions and continuing instability in the Middle East.

That is not peace. It is a foreign-policy disaster.

At home, families are still paying more. Grocery prices were 2.7 percent higher in July 2026 than a year earlier. Fruits and vegetables rose 5.1 percent, bread 3.7 percent and coffee more than 10 percent. In the Los Angeles area, grocery prices rose 3.9 percent.

Energy costs were 14.7 percent higher than a year earlier, electricity was up 4.2 percent and gasoline was up 24.6 percent—the polar opposite of Trump’s grand promise to cut energy prices in half.

Inflation remains stubborn. Consumer prices were 3.4 percent higher in July than a year earlier, while the Federal Reserve’s preferred measure showed inflation at 3.7 percent. Families continue struggling with food, housing, utilities and insurance.

Health care is another broken promise. Trump and Republicans in Congress allowed the enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies to expire, resulting in sharply higher premiums and leaving millions of Americans who lost their health insurance entirely uncovered.

Republicans did not make health care more affordable. They made it harder for millions of Americans to keep their coverage.

Nor has the promised economic boom materialized. The economy grew at only a 1.5 percent annual rate in the second quarter of 2026, down from 2.1 percent in the first quarter. July payroll employment declined by 23,000 jobs, while unemployment stood at 4.1 percent.

Then there is the national debt. Trump repeatedly talked about paying down the debt and cutting federal spending. Instead, the national debt has now exceeded $40 trillion—the highest level in American history.

Those are not the results Americans were promised.

He Promised to Drain the Swamp

Trump promised to clean up Washington and put ordinary Americans ahead of political insiders and wealthy elites.

Instead, his presidency has proven to be the most corrupt administration in American history, completely engulfed by questions about self-enrichment, conflicts of interest and the brazen use of public office for personal promotion.

His administration has devoted extraordinary attention to a massive White House ballroom, gold ornamentation, plans for a triumphal arch and efforts to put his name on the Kennedy Center. Meanwhile, Trump’s personal fortune has grown by billions.

Is the presidency being treated as a public trust—or as a vehicle for personal wealth, branding and self-glorification?

Republicans in Congress have refused to act or investigate.

The Epstein Files and Transparency

Trump and his allies also promised transparency surrounding the Epstein files. Instead, the administration has withheld records and offered shifting explanations, even as reports indicate Trump’s name appears in the documents.

A name appearing in investigative records does not prove wrongdoing, which is precisely why transparency matters. The public deserves the lawful release of relevant records, with protections for victims and legally protected information, and Congress should demand the truth rather than provide political cover.

Where Are Republicans in Congress?

Trump has not done this alone.

Republicans in Congress have overwhelmingly supported his agenda and abandoned the independent oversight expected of a coequal branch of government.

They allowed ACA subsidies to expire as premiums rose. They supported policies favoring wealthy Americans and large corporations. They ignored serious questions about Trump’s financial conflicts, swept aside corruption, and failed to demand meaningful transparency regarding the Epstein files.

Again and again, they have chosen loyalty to Trump over accountability to the American people.

The 2026 election is therefore not only a referendum on Donald Trump. It is a referendum on the Republican Congress that enabled him.

Elections Have Consequences

A presidency should be judged by whether ordinary Americans are better off—not by the size of a ballroom, the amount of gold in the Oval Office, buildings bearing the President’s name or the wealth accumulated by the President and his family.

So voters should ask:

Are groceries, gasoline, electricity and health care cheaper? Has inflation been defeated? Did the Ukraine war end in 24 hours? Did Trump deliver “no more wars”? Is the national debt falling? Has corruption been rooted out? Has Congress demanded accountability?

For far too many Americans, the answer is a devastating no.

This November, the architect of this chaos will not be on the ballot—but the enablers who handed him unchecked power most certainly will be.

The stakes could not be higher, and we cannot afford to sit on the sidelines. Change does not happen by accident; it demands sweat, solidarity, and relentless action. Palos Verdes Democrats are standing up to meet this moment, but victory requires every single one of us to step forward.

Commit to the fight. Phone bank, canvass, speak truth to your neighbors, and—if you are able—make a financial contribution to fuel this critical effort.

Our democracy, our economy, and our future are on the line. This November, we have the power—and the absolute responsibility—to hold them accountable and take our country back.

August 2026 Meeting Report

By Reggie Jue

What the Supreme Court’s 2025–26 Term Means for America

The Palos Verdes Democrats’ August meeting featured our annual in-depth review of the U.S. Supreme Court’s most consequential decisions of the recently completed term, presented by Judge Tom Long, longtime Palos Verdes Democrat, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge, and former two-term Mayor and City Councilmember of Palos Verdes Estates.

Drawing on the 2026 UC Irvine School of Law Supreme Court Review, Judge Long explored major decisions involving voting rights, digital privacy, immigration, transgender rights, and presidential power. He also explained the legal reasoning behind the decisions and what they may mean for American democracy and our daily lives.

A More Polarized Supreme Court

The Court's voting patterns reflected growing ideological divisions. During the term, approximately 30% of cases were decided 6–3, roughly twice the rate of the previous term. At the same time, the Court remained unanimous in about 44% of its decisions.

The discussion highlighted the importance of the Court's ideological blocs, while noting that Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Kavanaugh sometimes joined the Court's liberal members and that Justices Thomas and Alito frequently dissented.

Voting Rights and Redistricting

The meeting examined Louisiana v. Calais, a 6–3 decision involving Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and racial redistricting. The discussion focused on the increasingly difficult burden of proving intentional racial discrimination in the drawing of voting districts.

Together with earlier decisions such as Alexander v. South Carolina, the rulings have made challenges to racial gerrymandering more difficult while leaving partisan gerrymandering largely beyond the reach of federal courts.

Privacy in the Digital Age

The Court's approach to Fourth Amendment privacy was illustrated by Chatrie v. United States, involving government access to digital location information held by companies such as Google.

The discussion explored how traditional constitutional protections are being applied to technologies that can track an individual's movements in extraordinary detail. Related concerns include geofence warrants and automated camera systems, which raise new questions about privacy and government surveillance.

Birthright Citizenship

The group also discussed the Court's 5–4 birthright citizenship decision, including the constitutional meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment's citizenship provision.

The narrow ruling, which included Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett joining the liberal Justices, was examined for its potential implications for immigration law and the longstanding principle of citizenship for people born in the United States.

Presidential Power

Perhaps the broadest implications involved the Court's decisions concerning executive power and federal agencies.

The Court addressed presidential authority over tariffs in the Learning Tree case and, in Slaughter, significantly weakened longstanding protections for leaders of independent federal agencies by overturning Humphrey's Executor. The result gives presidents substantially greater authority to remove agency leaders, with limited exceptions.

The discussion emphasized the potential consequences for the balance of power among the presidency, Congress, and independent government agencies.

From the Activism Chair

By Caryl Schwartz, Activism Chair

According to Fortune Magazine, billionaires have already poured more than $433 million into the 2026 midterms, with nearly 80% supporting Republican candidates and conservative organizations.  The pro-Trump super PAC MAGA Inc was the largest beneficiary pulling in 89 million.  The Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision paved the way for obscene amounts of money flowing into our elections.  While Republican groups have a vast cash advantage over Democratic ones, individual Democratic Senate candidates are currently outraising their Republican opponents in most of the key Senate races. Republican advertising spending surpassed Democrats in all the top six Senate races except for Texas.  Since I read the article in Fortune Magazine over a week ago, GOP donations are nearing a billion dollars for 2026 elections.  

We know GOP billionaire money doesn’t go towards the public good but surges to politicians and organizations that push lower taxes for the wealthy, weaker corporate oversight, and policies that protect enormous fortunes.  These donors are not concerned about the cruelty, torture and trauma that ICE is inflicting on the immigrant population across our nation.

Elon Musk alone had already contributed nearly $90 million. Now he is preparing to spend another $100 million to $120 million during the final months before Election Day. 

Former Sen. Sherrod Brown’s 2024 race against Sen. Bernie Moreno was the most expensive non-presidential race in U.S. history.  Ohio voters are frustrated with the current economic policies and Republicans are worried and spending big in Ohio.  Musk has given multimillion gifts to Republican billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy’s Gubernatorial race in Ohio.  

Polls show races for Ohio’s Governor and Senate are toss-ups.  Ohio deserves our attention both financially and with volunteerism.  Link to volunteer: https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/1000592/

Republicans are entering the 2026 midterms with a 53-47 majority in the Senate (includes the two independents who caucus with the Democrats). This cycle, 35 Senate seats are up for election. To retake the Senate, Democrats must hold onto seats in both Michigan and Georgia and flip four Republican-held ones 

In Georgia we have Jon Ossoff re-election campaign and he is currently leading in the polls.  The Governors race for Georgia’s next governor is effectively tied.  Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms is running against Billionaire Rick Jackson. Bottoms are campaigning for Georgia to expand Medicaid and increase public school funding. 

GOP’s failed policies have put other states in play. Alaska, Iowa, Maine, Michigan and Texas Senate seats are all toss-ups.  There is overall voter dissatisfaction with Trump administration policies: a challenging economy due in part to tariffs, an ongoing conflict with Iran, widespread data center expansion in rural areas, economic policies that are affecting ranchers and farmers. 

Texas is in a state of fiscal crisis with many municipalities and school districts resorting to rigid austerity measures.  For the first time in his political career some polls are showing Gov. Greg Abbott is statistically tied with State Rep. Gina Hinojosa and Rep. James Talarico is leading over Attorney General Ken Paxton.

In Iowa, Democrat Rob Sands is leading the governor’s race. Josh Turek, is trying to flip a Senate seat running against Trump backed candidate Ashley Hinson. Turek is zeroing in on the state’s high rate of cancer diagnoses. The farming-heavy economy is negatively impacted by Mr. Trump’s tariff policies. Farmers’ troubles are further exacerbated by fertilizer shortages and high prices due to the Iran War.

In Alaska, which uses ranked-choice voting, Mary Peltola won her Senate primary and will proceed to the general. Two Democrats finished in the top two spots in the Governor’s primary but the second place finisher has dropped out. This leaves Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins as the only Democrat among 4 candidates in the ranked-choice general election.

In the battleground state of Michigan Democrat Jocelyn Benson is leading in the Governor’s race. Abdul El- Sayed Senate race is rated a toss-up in some polls he has a slight lead. Republicans are salivating that they could flip a Senate seat and we can’t let that happen. Democrats also need to gain seats in Michigan’s state legislature.

In North Carolina Democrat Roy Cooper is leading Republican National Committee chair Michael Whatley.  Each is accusing the other of mishandling the recovery from Hurricane Helene.

Most recent polls in Maine’s Senate race show Troy Jackson with a slight lead over Susan Collins. Democratic gubernatorial candidate Hannah Pingree has a significant lead over Republican challenger Bobby Charles, according to a new poll commissioned by the Portland Press Herald and New York Times.

We Democrats have reason to be optimistic about flipping the Senate and winning additional Gubernatorial races in spite of the monetary advantages the GOP has with billionaire donors. Trump’s failed economic policies, tariffs, blatant corruption, anger about data centers and the War in Iran will contribute to a blue tsunami.

Why Governors’ Races Matter 

Victory in Gubernatorial races is critical in opposing Donald Trump’s agenda. Governors wield executive authority to block federal policies and safeguard state-level systems. We have witnessed Governors directing state attorneys general to coordinate multi-state lawsuits to halt Trump’s executive overreach. Democratic Governors in battleground states can veto restrictive voting laws passed by conservative state legislatures, ensuring that ballot access remains protected.
