I’m in Liverpool for Labour Conference to argue for ANTI-FASCIST ECONOMICS! 🌹 Andy Burnham could learn a thing or two from FDR when he said: I welcome their hatred referring to big businesses who opposed his New Deal. Join me at this important Tribune meeting today.

“I don’t see this ending soon,” said Firrincieli. “Chaos increases prices.” Plenty of chaos from the White House: war, restrictions on immigrants, and tariff threats are all raising transport costs now. www.wsj.com/business/inf...

It is insane that Sam Altman talks about AI safety as though it is an option. If his crap causes damage, his shithole company is out of business, and he could well be going to jail. This is not a choice for him to make substack.com/home/post/p-...

I once took care of Dolly Parton back in the day when I was the wine director of the Hotel Bel-Air. One of the kindest people I’ve ever served. There were a bunch of really big name celebrities there and THEY were starstruck too. She tipped a crazy good amount too.

There are 43 women on Forbes self-made billionaires list. And 700 men. The women account for just 2.4% of America's self-made fortunes. Yes many of these women aren't making money just to make money; they plan to give away much of their wealth. www.forbes.com/lists/self-m...

Trade policy doesn't have to be a choice between corporate-driven trade deals and tariff wars. Our latest Game Changers proposal explores a better path for North America with stronger labor standards, environmental protections, & more. Watch the video and learn more: peri.umass.edu/publication/...

Diversity without disruption: Evidence from Europe shows that board or executive quotas for women don't result in a positive trickle-down effect for other women. It isn't enough to add a token woman leader and stir. The entire org culture must change. insight.kellogg.northwestern.edu/article/even...

Pete Hegseth: "This background noise is perfect. It's the sound of ingrates, of ingratitude, of people who are so blinded by ideology they can't see law and order and common sense in front of them."

OMG. Todd Blanche, Stephen Miller, and Pete Hegseth thought it would be a good idea to hold an event at Malcom X Park (officially Meridian Hill Park on maps) just up the street from me. The neighborhood has one of the largest Spanish-speaking populations in DC.😂🤣

Hybrid workers often find themselves coming into empty offices to connect on Zoom to geographically distant colleagues. To make hybrid work work, have hybrid employees come in on the same days or even the same times on a given day. www.sciencenews.org/article/remo...

If we counted Trump bankruptcies the way he counts peace deals, Spirit would be about the 15th airline he put into bankruptcy.

Thinking about the Warsh testimony more, noteworthy how he highlights trimmed mean inflation. It just happens to be the lowest, of course. But it's a terrible lesson to draw from the past 6 years. It got it wrong in both directions, misleading many. newsletter.mikekonczal.com/p/cherry-pic...

The economic fallout from the Strait of Hormuz isn't a hypothetical — it's already there. Most people in Europe and the US just can't feel it yet. A threat on our new @newstatesman1913.bsky.social article: what's heading our way, and why the burden won't be shared equally. 1/

Study (N=595) finds hostile sexism (openly resentful toward women) was the strongest predictor of whether young men liked the tradwife movement. Another predictor: men who believed they needed a woman to feel complete. www.psypost.org/men-who-favo...

New Story from me: Local politicians shared the stage at a small rally in West Hollywood with anti-LGBT activists. Among them a Field Director for MassResistance, an organizer for Proud Boy Events and a candidate for Los Angeles County Sheriff. latenfour.com/2026/04/01/s...

A federal appeals court judge appointed by Donald Trump, Lawrence VanDyke, just wrote an opinion repeatedly referencing “swinging d**cks.” This is a shocking and timely reminder of the importance of the judicial nominations process, which the Senate controls. youtube.com/shorts/iECY6...

We spoke with independent journalists @taliajane.bsky.social & @acatwithnews.bsky.social about how they’ve safely filmed federal agents in the field. Here’s how they did it, plus see our digital security recommendations so you can do so safely, too.

When women choose to be a tradwife, they give up their own earning potential and economic independence. A very dangerous situation. people.com/sheryl-sandb...

LA City Council’s City President Marqueece Harris-Dawson says he has been pulled over four times while a member of the council; the most recent was this week. He missed a committee meeting because of the stop, according to him. Among the questions: “how do you have this vehicle,” according to him.

Nobel Peace Prize, my ass.

Ever since his sister became the Attorney General, business has been good for Brad Bondi, a white-collar defense lawyer. He has racked up an amazing set of wins for clients facing investigation and prosecution by Pam’s DOJ. But maybe it’s just a coincidence. youtube.com/shorts/9200i...

The SAVE America Act—a revised version of the SAVE Act—is a voter ID and citizenship proof law that just passed the House of Representatives. Many of you have asked what it means. It’s worse than you think. So let’s make sure it doesn’t get through the Senate. youtube.com/shorts/0a9zL...

I still want to tax sales of stock and other financial assets. Someone who whines about a 0.1% tax on stock trades needs to find something else to do with their time

Minneapolis, MN - On a tip, found several federal law enforcement agents posted in St. Paul in a chiropractor’s parking lot. One appears to be wearing binoculars, another hiding behind a cloth. One films, another waves his binoculars around. While there, rapid responders continue to drive around.

Greetings! I’m at the Home2Suites in Minneapolis. A noise demonstration against ICE is underway; the lobby has been trashed and there are broken windows. An MPD officer is in front of the hotel. I can’t independently verify ICE agents are at the hotel.

Minneapolis, MN - Many many more agents filing into the area around the hotel. Minneapolis PD announcing everyone is under arrest, telling them to sit down with their hands up. An ad hoc journalist squad being told to go further down the street. Chemicals irritant deployed in the road.

Minneapolis, MN - Many more agents outside the hotel filing in, a few journos had weapons pointed at them. Teargas deployed at the small remaining protesters outside the hotel.

“You got signed judicial warrant to gain access to the scene and we’re still denied access by federal agents?” “Yes, that’s accurate.” We are so cooked 🇺🇸

at some point, another "shot heard 'round the world" Concord/Lexington response needs to happen if our politicians and courts keep doing nothing to facilitate the free (from death/imprisonment) exercise of our Constitutional rights

Year-end stats that stagger: Our global #billionaire population now richer than ever in total wealth ($18.7 trillion, up $10 trillion over 2020).

Another major headline fail at the NYT. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/b... Says shoppers "spent big" but the YOY increase was 3.9%, before adjusting for inflation. Real growth of 1% is not BIG on planet earth.
