I’m in this to beat Mike Flood – and yes, this is personal. We grew up in the same town, but Millionaire Mike’s life was not like mine. I lived in trailer parks. Our whole family spent periods living in my grandmother’s basement. I went to bed hungry

Per Zenith research: The Democrat in this race (a Biden State Department official who coordinated aid to Israel) *loses support* after folks learn more about him. But @ahlmanfornebraska.bsky.social (who just launched his campaign) not only gains support, he *leads the Republican incumbent.*

A…stunning campaign launch. "My dad got cancer & my mom's employer collapsed. The executives got paid & the workers got screwed. She didn't have the heart to tell us, even when the bank took the house…when she took her own life, the eviction notice was in her pocket." @ahlmanfornebraska.bsky.social

New from me: an interesting tale from Iowa, where anti-establishment populist and serial electoral overperformer JD Scholten is dropping his bid for Senate to back the DSCC pick, relative newcomer Josh Turek. theintercept.com/2025/08/18/j...

Amid DSCC Pressure, Democratic Populist J.D. Scholten Exits Iowa Senate Race
Scholten, who is among a small coterie of progressive to outperform Kamala Harris in deep red states, will endorse Josh Turek on Monday.

it’s kind of funny just how cooked the party is. using diversity loopholes to throw out the election of someone who said we should do something about the olds, while any semblance of a popular economic agenda gets muscled aside by a warmed over neoliberal astroturf project

I have an article in the @financialtimes.com today highlighting cloud computing's systemic role in our economies and societies, and the grave dangers of concentrating this critical infrastructure in the hands of a few monopolistic U.S. tech giants. www.ft.com/content/5c93...

Cloud computing is too important to be left to the Big Three
Unlike traditional utilities, Amazon, Microsoft and Google operate with minimal transparency

I think it is reasonable for the leader of the United Auto Workers to support a tax on foreign car imports

Don't love the informal convention that writers on staff at a publication cannot criticize other writers there. Give me a magazine full of writers who all openly hate each other and spit at each other in the hallway

Pentagon fails 7th audit in a row, yet insists it "has turned a corner in its understanding of the depth and breadth of its challenges" and that "momentum is on our side" to eventually pass one.
