I'm Policy Director at @progressivereform.bsky.social where I specialize in federal regulatory policy. When not analyzing federal regulatory policy, I enjoy silent film, soccer, and running. "Oh! I'm sorry! This is abuse."

Note that the Center Left's argument essentially boils down to "we can get elected" -- *not* we will make your lives better by rebuilding the economy and functional government. So, you get elected, then what? You don't actively make things worse?

You often hear people talk about how both parties have supposedly become more polarized or moved away from the center equally. Who, then, is the Left's equivalent of Tucker Carlson? I can think of many people on the Left who moved to the center as their prominence increases, though.

Earlier in the summer, somebody recommended "The Battle of Algiers" for an LPE movie list. In a continuing series on an LPE cinema canon, I take up that recommendation. And I come away kind of ambivalent? Don't bite my head off, but maybe this singularly important film doesn't belong?

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

In a race in which the GOP will attack El-Sayed as a communist, and one in which El-Sayed attacks Rogers and the GOP for doing little to nothing to lower the cost of groceries, housing, energy, and health care for struggling families, I like El-Sayed's chances.

Rural Red America is fine with nuclear waste, but not with renewable energy infrastructure? How can you explain that other than their polluted information ecosystem? subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

E&E News: Nuclear waste delivers a political haymaker. Five states say it can be done.

From proposals to bury waste under the Gulf of Mexico to shooting canisters deep underground, GOP-led states mainly see economic opportunity.

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

Abdul El-Sayed has won Michigan’s slugfest of a Democratic Senate primary, NBC News projects, clinching the nomination over Rep. Haley Stevens and establishing a Midwest beachhead for a progressive left on the march this midterm cycle.
