Where are progressive champs on this? We need folks like @warren.senate.gov and @raskin.house.gov to stand up for donors and help clean house here. These firms are scum and the main way to get them to stop imo is shaming and convincing others to stop working with them.

Useful heuristics from @jonasnahm.com on green industrial policy. One question he doesn't tackle is the alliance management aspect. If a country has no prospect of making a green product because of, say, PRC dominance, should it buy Chinese if an ally is trying to save its domestic production?

Trump and the failure of the Fafo doctrine @gideonrachman.bsky.social in today's @financialtimes.com points out that US financial credibility has crumbled so badly that Greece can now borrow more cheaply. I checked. Greek 10 year bonds yield 3.79%, US 10 year: 4.71%. Almost 100 bp. Stunning.

From @djrothkopf.bsky.social "Why do Senators who are leaving the Senate and who have been abused by Trump still toe the line and support his twisted and dangerous agenda? Is it because in their hearts they are also corrupt and morally adrift?... davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/follow-the...

Two Republican mayors from the reddest parts of Georgia are breaking ranks to back Sen. Jon Ossoff’s reelection bid, telling the @ajc.com that the Democrat’s work for their communities outweighs partisan differences. #gapol www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Why 2 GOP mayors are crossing party lines for Jon Ossoff

Valdosta Mayor Scott James Matheson and Tifton Mayor Julie Smith aren’t household names, but their willingness to cross party lines signals a weakness for Mike Collins.

"Arday was treated not as a scholar but as a mascot, one who was particularly expedient for an institution that had been regularly embarrassed by its historic record on race…Independent of the merits or pitfalls of his own scholarship, what success looked like for Arday in this role was limited"

Trump and Musk promised to shrink the deficit. Instead, it's projected to grow — to $2.5 trillion a year within a decade (in today's dollars). That's a heavier burden for taxpayers, and it pushes up interest rates on credit cards, mortgages and beyond. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart

I will add that a Jewish lawyer and labor leader named Aaron Sapiro — about which Ford’s paper had made wild antisemitic claims — also sued him for libel for $1 million (huge then) and was another factor in Ford’s retreat

I will just say that the last time we had a figure like Elon Musk in our politics — Henry Ford — he was defanged through a combination of (a) rejection at the ballot box, and perhaps more importantly, (b) absolutely crushing consumer boycotts

Elon Musk's politics are indistinguishable from Paul Golding of Britain First [except Britain First is more coded on violence, while Musk has been more openly pro-violence as inevitable, necessary, legitimate since Aug 2025] The main pro-Hitler YouTuber "Zoomer Historian" is encouraged.

Andy Burnham has become the UK's Prime Minister at a moment that demands urgent action to hold Big Tech accountable. We're calling on him to stop platforms from amplifying extremism and fueling public disorder, regulate AI platforms, support independent research & require safety by design. More👇

There’s a reason Brian Kemp worked so hard to try to beat Mike Collins in the Republican primary…

The @mainstreamlabour.bsky.social's Manchesterism report sets out the Burnham agenda and its critique of the #abundance movement's failure to understand that what matters is who owns critical infrastructure. @ezraklein.bsky.social should get the authors on his show.

Buttigieg: We sit in a in a country that's got the wrong number of people on the Supreme Court, possibly the wrong number of representatives in the House of Representatives. And by the way, when you consider the disenfranchisement of the people of DC, we have the wrong number of states in the US

Pope Leo XIV is right: The future of AI can’t be decided by the companies building it. Our research has shown that unaccountable AI systems are already creating real-world harms – including helping to plan mass violence. This is preventable. It's time to act ⤵️
