Activists head to Washington for the Take Back America conference amid signs that the progressive movement is on the verge of a political transformation as dramatic as the infamous "Reagan revolution" of the 1980s.

We've earned the right to spend a few days basking in this well-earned glow. But let's not get complacent, either. The very fact that we won also brings us to a fresh moment of reckoning. We are no longer the loyal opposition; we are now the people in charge. And our next act of transformation will be to come to terms with that fact. more »
