Happy Opening Day! At the @Nationals opener, a beer, Cracker Jacks, and a hot dog will run almost $30. The owners are worth $6 billion and DC taxpayers paid for the stadium. It doesn't have to be this way. Public subsidy should come with public benefit. My latest for @MSNBC:

Message discipline of a killer robot

The Republican budget bill includes an unprecedented rollback of nutrition assistance — "the largest cut in history," @AlexSJacquez explained on @WENYTV. Millions of working families will feel this at the grocery store and the dinner table.

Great piece that reckons with the utter failure in the US to assist dislocated workers. This isn't intractable. Models like flexicurity in Denmark do an excellent job of maintaining a dynamic economy with robust support for workers. AI, trade, climate--we need to do better.

These kinds of interviews are significantly more important and valuable for Democrats than wealthy pundits and think tankers yelling at Republicans on CNN.

I joined @abc27News in Pennsylvania to talk about how the disastrous cuts to Medicaid put local nursing homes and hospitals at risk of shuttering.

Will this be good for Trump’s weakest issue who can say

The US desperately needs a home construction boom. But it's not happening. New homes completed plunged in June to the lowest level since January 2022. Building permits and housing starts are also at some of the lowest levels since the pandemic. Yes, zoning rule changes would…
