Disagree with the former President. Democratic candidates need to work to get back in line with their voters.
Barack Obama urged House Democrats to prioritize the 2026 midterms over internal ideological battles, saying the party’s 2025 victories have helped restore momentum and morale (ABC)

Genuinely think our society is lost if we can’t find a way to start caring that the ostensibly most powerful man in the world acts like this.

This anti-primary culture in the Democratic Party needs to end. It’s not “drama” or hate, it’s democracy. Embrace it, make politicians earn your vote, be critical of them, and take note of how they respond. If they’re dismissive when they need your vote, that says a lot.

Here's something I didn't say in the piece, and an argument against my own economic interests (as a testifying expert in antitrust matters): Congress or the states should just ban the use of common pricing algorithms, including those used on digital platforms. Doing so would
My latest explores how Airbnb provides homeshares a common pricing algorithm, called “Smart Pricing,” that serves to coordinate pricing of rental units on its platform. Airbnb appears to be coercing homesharers into adoption of its pricing tool, including by withholding access to

This is great work but more importantly a great message of solidarity and compassion for one another in the work force.
NEW: Behind Italy’s beauty (and parmesan) is a radical tradition of cooperatives. In some areas, they make up nearly a fifth of the GDP. We went to Emilia-Romagna, one of the richest regions in the country, to investigate how Italy’s workers built a more democratic economy.

Every DHS official testifying before Congress should be asked if they can, with the documents on their person at the hearing, prove that they are American citizens.
This is quite remarkable. David Bier of Cato points to ICE's unlawful detention of an American citizen, and Greg Bovino, "Commander at Large" of the Border Patrol, just blatantly lies and makes the nonsensical claim that Americans are required to "carry immigration documents."

It’d be cool if these Senate investigations ever led to prosecutions instead of just headlines.
Hedge funds and investment firms have moved into one of the last sources of affordable housing in the US — mobile homes. Now a top Senate Democrat has launched an investigation into the financial giants that hold large stake in the manufactured housing parks. Senator Maggie

Here is a sitting US Congressman calling for the destruction of mainstream Muslims. That's literally genocidal. And he didn't even limit it to Palestinians, which would already be horrific. This includes Muslim Americans, too. There is no question that if a legislator had said
Rep. Fine on How to Deal with Mainstream Muslims: “I don’t know how you make peace with those who seek your destruction, I think you destroy them first.” 🔥🔥🔥

Great!
New: Swiss politicians are pushing to *revoke* UEFA's tax-exempt status. UEFA got exemption for "promoting peace" — which officials argue isn't being met due to UEFA taking no action against the Israeli Football Association. Am told *45* of 200 Swiss MPs are already signed on.

They acted so fast to answer this question in the negative.
LOL Jeffries announced an AI commission and put the most right-wing pro-business member of the caucus and the pro-Big Tech House member representing Silicon Valley on it

The president’s comments on immigrants from El Salvador, Haiti and other nations surprised lawmakers.
Trump: I said, why is it we only take people from shit hole countries, right? Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, Denmark… But we always take people from Somalia… places that are a filthy, dirty, disgusting

The judge is correct. All these changes are being made without their effects actually being studied. 39th Ave in my neighborhood has been a shit show for first responders and anything larger than a box truck. Refusing to analyze these actions is the opposite of progressive.
BREAKING: A Queens judge has made the unprecedented move to order the city to rip up the partially installed protected bike lane on 31st Street in Astoria, defying years of legal precedent that empowers the DOT to redesign city streets as it sees fit.

Trump will never ever ever side with the American people over his billionaire friends. The corruption is so staggering that it’s easy to ignore, but we must not!
