Friends,
I’m taking the day off, and Heather, Kamau, and Michael are taking the reins. As you’ll see, they keep our klatch as lively, informative, and enjoyable as ever. They ask, among other things: How excited are you for that $5,000 Trump check? ... more
Friends,
Today, W. Kamau Bell and Michael Lahanas Calderón join me to take a deep dive into the economy on this Labor Day weekend — which marks the start of the midterm elections. We look at what’s on the minds of voters in terms of jobs, wages, pri... more

My dear Secretary Reich
You were the first person I thought of when I learned of the passing today of Dolly.
Please know you have my deepest heartfelt sympathies for the loss of such an amazing idol.
It broke my heart that you didn’t get to meet Dolly.
She will be in all of our hearts always.
Your tribute on Substack brought me to tears.

Mr. Michael KLAFMAN was interviewed and said the following:
The US is falling apart, and we have little time left to do the following.
Implement a new economic policy that addresses both wealth & income inequality. This requires a new political policy!
NATO is dead.
No country will enter into any trade agreement or treaty with us
We are ... more
I’m with Heather on AOC as the Democratic nominee for President. Authenticity is everything against the backdrop of lies and corruption. Playing it “safe” seems to be code for nominating a white man. Yes, the ones you mentioned are great candidates also. But the Democratic Party needs to boldly make progress. Aren’t we a broad coalition?
