民主党或许在民调中领先。但他们能否经受住埃隆·马斯克和其他“让美国再次伟大”寡头数十亿美元竞选开支的冲击？选举能否免受恐吓和干扰？即便他们获胜，民主党控制的国会究竟会做些什么来阻挠特朗普对民主的攻击？
Democrats may be ahead in the polls. But can they withstand billions in campaign spending by Elon Musk and other MAGA oligarchs? Will the election be safe from intimidation and interference? And even if they do prevail, what would a Democratic Congress actually do to obstruct Trump’s attacks on democracy?
几十年来，前劳工部长罗伯特·赖希一直在敲响警钟，提醒美国日益加剧的不平等和权力集中。他曾在三届总统政府中任职，已成为特朗普时代最响亮、最清晰地批评民主党失职的声音之一。
For decades, former Labor Secretary Robert Reich has been sounding the alarm about rising inequality and the concentration of power in America. Having served in three presidential administrations, he’s become one of the loudest and clearest voices challenging Democrats for their failures in the Trump era.
赖希将做客《拦截者简报》主持人阿凯拉·莱西的直播节目，就本届中期选举季最紧迫的议题展开对话。他是多部著作的作者，包括回忆录《不尽如人意》（Coming Up Short），该书平装版现已上市。他的媒体公司“不平等媒体”也推出了一部及时的新纪录片《进行中的工作》，探讨全美普通民众如何在当下应对我们的民主。
Reich joins Intercept Briefing host Akela Lacy for a live conversation about the most pressing issues this midterm season. He is the author of numerous books, including his memoir “Coming Up Short,” out in paperback now. His media company, Inequality Media, has also made a timely new documentary, called “The Work in Progress,” exploring how everyday Americans across the country are navigating our democracy in these times.
