Every single news outlet that covered this story the first time has an absolute duty to give their audience this pretty important follow up

A HUGE UNION BREAKTHROUGH IN THE SOUTH >> The UAW has declared victory at VW, with the vote total at 2,578 to 933 (a huge 73% to 27%) This will certainly help the UAW win at Mercedes next month In this vote, the VW workers told the South's GOP, anti-union governors to shove off

Boeing is just one example of how capitalism is far less “free” than its devotees are willing to admit. Me for @MSNBC msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…

Stunning graph: the plummeting tax rates of the richest Americans. For the first time in history, billionaires have a lower effective tax rate than working-class Americans.

On today's pod, a top Biden campaign pollster, Jef Pollock, talks to me at length about NYT poll/other data showing Trump ahead. He acknowledges Trump's lead among young/nonwhites but argues it's inherently soft support. Tons of stuff in this interview 👇 newrepublic.com/article/181532…

Look, I just think it's a question that needs to be asked: Does anyone know for sure where Sam Alito was on January 6, 2021 ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/sam-ali…

If they can do this to Donald Trump, they can do it to *any* American who tries to falsify business records so as to conceal the hush money payments they made to their pornstar ex-mistresses during their presidential campaigns

I appreciate online lefties supporting Kamala, but remember, once the general election is in full swing it’s important to start calling her a cop again so as to improve her standing with the median voter

Good James Downie look at how all of Trump's arguments against Dems are collapsing around him, on inflation, crime and immigration: msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…

And so the plan is to just… what? Let him get away with it? Lay down and let them walk all over you? politico.com/news/2024/10/0…

The real reason Texas can't control its border: it needs the migrants too badly. For 8 months, I've investigated undocumented construction workers, the bosses hiring them, and the politicians who look the other way: texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…

A lot of people right now jockeying to write their "why Harris would have won if only she listened to me takes" before the window closes.

On political endorsement wapo.st/3YmeD3T This is cowardice, with democracy as its casualty. @realdonaldtrump will see this as an invitation to further intimidate owner @jeffbezos (and others). Disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.

Jamie Dimon wants to go back to the days when his bank received a $390 billion bailout from the Federal Reserve while he was literally a director on the NY Fed with no strings attached. This taxpayer bailout enabled him to become a billionaire who is now worth $2.4 billion.
