Trump’s Pick as Mideast Adviser, Massad Boulos, Is a Truck Salesman The lore around Massad Boulos, Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law, is that he is a billionaire dealmaker. Records show otherwise.

Another day, another Hoover Institution retraction, the third (of which I'm aware) based on shoddy data analysis.

The Top 1% of Americans Have Taken $50 Trillion From the Bottom 90%—And That's Made the U.S. Less Secure A report shows that a $50 trillion redistribution of income to benefit the richest has made America less healthy, resilient, and secure

As you consider what went wrong-both in the USA generally-but also with the Democratic Party, I invite you to consider the data presented in this piece. It isn’t that Democrats were wrong, just completely unwilling to address the problem at the scale of the problem. time.com/5888024/50-t...

So, friends, with the invaluable assistance of @hiltzikm.bsky.social at the LA Times, whose article appears today (paywalled), the Hoover Institution has retracted its story about the CA labor market that I had flagged as fatally flawed last week.👏

Congratulations!!!

Better Schools Won’t Fix America Like many rich Americans, I used to think educational investment could heal the country’s ills—but I was wrong. Fighting inequality must come first.

“Educationism”appeals to the wealthy & powerful because it tells us what we want to hear: that we can help restore shared prosperity without sharing our wealth or power.

Why did Trump really win? It's simple, actually. When the economy thrives while half of America struggles, something has got to give.

In 2019, I spoke w/ @nickhanauer.bsky.social, a super-rich dude who was warning "fellow plutocrats" that people would be coming for them w/ pitchforks. I asked what form he thought the pitchforks would take. He said: "They're already here. Trumpism is pitchforks." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
