Why, despite everything that's happening, am I still hopeful about America? Here's what I told Michael Lewis.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. Big Tech buys off Congress. No action on AI safety. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Trump is a failing authoritarian whose approval ratings are tanking. Like any bully, when he feels humiliated, he lashes out. But what he doesn’t realize is that his authoritarianism and his bullying are waking up America’s great sleeping giant.

New data from the AFL-CIO finds the average CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 2025 was a gobsmacking 312-to-1. And that's without factoring in Elon Musk's record-breaking $158B pay package. CEO pay wasn't always wildly out of control. Here's how we can rein it back in.

In 1993, Oklahoma City was suffering from economic stagnation. That’s when I started working in OKC. There was one downtown hotel. I often was the only person in it. Now it is a city transformed, and the lessons we learned are baked in Strategic Doing. freepressokc.com/okc-streetca...

We cannot solve complex challenges in the way we solve technical problems. We need a different approach and a new pedagogy. IDE Business School in Ecuador is our sandbox for developing new cases. We just released our case on my work with the Milwaukee water cluster.

Donald Schön called it a "reflective conversation with the situation." It’s what you do when, facing a complex challenge, you don’t know what to do.

It is very hard not to have contempt for John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, who have sold their souls to find some fig leaf to support the worst nominee for Attorney General ever. The signed agreement is worthless without the signatures of the parties, namely Trump. The IRS break stands. Moral cowards.

stuff like this is why one important avenue for court reform is just nixing the shadow docket altogether and forcing these people to explain themselves to the public when they issue orders. also, making their records property of the united states and subject to publication when they leave the bench.

The risk is that the Democrats are stuck in old patterns crafted by pollsters and consultants reading polls, trying to assemble coalitions like putting together parts of clock. The real world doesn’t work that way.

The way to understand why the U.S. (and also G.B.) are basket cases about economics is Milton Friedman. Friedman was a fantastic salesman and the product that he sold was that totally unregulated markets would auto-magically improve themselves. One small problem: this is bollocks.

This is important. If we vote out the fossil fuel republicans and take this seriously we can be equal to China. But it is going to take forcing the wealthy to pay taxes. It’s going to take being serious about the health of this nation. Education in red states. No segregation. VOTE FOR YOUR FUTURE!
