Off-year elections are important both for who’s elected and what the nation learns from them about where we may be headed. What do you think America will learn from today’s elections? robertreich.substack.com/p/office-h…

The world's 10 richest people (nearly all from the U.S.) are collectively $500 billion richer this year thanks to growth in stocks tied to AI. Meanwhile, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and electricity. AI is making the rich even richer while everyone else pays the price.

In the age of monarchs, kings issued decrees. Tsars of imperial Russia proclaimed ukases. Dictators of the 20th century made diktats. Trump issues executive orders. They make him feel powerful.  But arbitrary power depends on the acquiescence of everyone subjected to it.
