Sen. Ted Kaufman, the outgoing Delaware senator who battled to break up major banks the past year, will replace Elizabeth Warren as chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel, an aide to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told HuffPost.
Reid initially appointed Warren to run the panel, launching her as a national champion of the middle class. The committee oversees the federal government’s bailout of Wall Street.
Kaufman, a Democrat, was appointed to fill Joe Biden’s remaining two...Read Full Story
At a time when our political and financial landscapes are littered with villains and those unwilling to take them on, it’s refreshing to find someone in the halls of power that we can unabashedly celebrate.
Enter Sen. Ted Kaufman of Delaware. Kaufman, Joe Biden’s longtime chief of staff who was appointed to serve out his old boss’s term, was originally thought to be a Senate placeholder.

For starters, there are a few former aides who wound up succeeding their bosses in office. Former Sen. Ted Kaufman (D-DE) comes to mind. Back in 1993, Kaufman was Chief of Staff to then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE). Kaufman held that gig for many years ...
We are beginning a new year, and the silence in Congress is still deafening. Will there ever be a debate about what should be done to deal with climate change?

I love when you publish Ted Kaufman and George Will in the same issue. The contrast is delicious. One writes clear, concise, well-supported articles that are easily understood. The other -- I'll try to describe in his own style -- scribes pseudo ...

The headline was right ("Flood of money corrupts electoral politics)" but Ted Kaufman only told half (or less) of the story. The money he's talking about is almost chump change compared to the "flood of money" that our president has spent to ...
