Trump is notorious for cheating caddies. Now a golf nonprofit believes Trump's golf policies will price them out of ordinary golfers' means. www.alternet.org/send/trump-g... @alternet.org

Bernard Goldberg, a conservative commentator, claims President Trump's orbit refuses to tell him inconvenient truths. @alternet.org www.alternet.org/the-right-wi...

What is Trump going to do about the dollar? The answer to that question is one thing to President Trump; it may not be the same to Treasury Secretary Bessent. @alternet.org www.alternet.org/send/trump-b...

Crypto insiders 'dispirited' by 'messy' value free fall despite Trump’s embrace. Billions of dollars are at stake here. @alternet.org www.alternet.org/trump-crypto...

Trump's FBI has created an 'election executive' position... but won't answer when pressed on when it was created. @alternet.org www.alternet.org/trump-fbi-26...

I discuss Epstein with Clinton's top economic adviser, Robert Shapiro, at the 21 minute mark. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATSl... We explain how, yes, Trump's Epstein connection is worse. Much, much worse. @democracyatwork.bsky.social

"The Neighbor" reminds me of "The 400 Blows" if it was put in a blender with Mississippi culture and the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Also: Bill Engvall's acting is top notch! democracyatwork.substack.com/p/bill-engva... @democracyatwork.bsky.social

Between September 2025 and January 2026, I interviewed: - Five Hollywood big shots; - a president's economist; - a president's grandson; - two documentarians; - an indie filmmaker; - a linguist; - a climate scientist; - a meteorologist. @democracyatwork.bsky.social www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Reflecting on the 1956 presidential election, my article notes Stevenson “clearly understood that his second run against Eisenhower was an extreme long shot." Yet he still centered his campaign on issues others ignored. That's a real winner. www.salon.com/2022/02/20/a...

The article shows how Eisenhower handled the 1956 presidential election while refusing to back Israeli aggression: Israel and its two European allies backed off…” and he still won reelection. Read the full story here. democracyatwork.substack.com/p/eisenhower...

In the context of the 1956 presidential election, Stevenson understood nuclear testing as an existential threat, saying “the earth’s atmosphere is contaminated from week to week by exploding hydrogen bombs.” He ran a losing campaign that still mattered. www.salon.com/2022/02/20/a...

As Eisenhower navigated the 1956 presidential election, he insisted “Ben-Gurion should not make any grave mistakes…” and stood up to foreign military action without losing political support. Here’s why that history matters now. democracyatwork.substack.com/p/eisenhower...

During the 1956 presidential election, Stevenson warned “there could be no real peace while more than half of our federal budget goes into an armaments race and the earth’s atmosphere is contaminated…” We need that wisdom in modern politics. www.salon.com/2022/02/20/a...

During the 1956 presidential election, Eisenhower proved you can challenge allies without political backlash: “I have told the Secretary of State that he should make very clear to the Israelis…” Read how his leadership worked for Democracy at Work. democracyatwork.substack.com/p/eisenhower...

I'm a sleep hygiene nerd. My friends get bored as I enthuse about CPAPs and circadian rhythms... one might even say, it puts them to sleep. Still, I'll never stop. We can't throw away one-third of our lives to poor health! democracyatwork.substack.com/p/can-we-soc... @democracyatwork.bsky.social

Sleep hygiene is as important to sound health as bodily hygiene, good diet and regular exercise. Yet one out of nine people alive suffer from debilitating sleep disorders. We should socialize sleep! democracyatwork.substack.com/p/can-we-soc... @democracyatwork.bsky.social

No one should struggle to breathe while attempting to slumber. Let's socialize sleep! @democracyatwork.bsky.social democracyatwork.substack.com/p/can-we-soc...

Can we socialize sleep? One out of nine people suffer from a sleep disorder. Sleep disorders ruin and shorten lives. We have the technology to fix these disorders. Why not make it universally affordable? @democracyatwork.bsky.social democracyatwork.substack.com/p/can-we-soc...

You can criticize Israel without (a) being anti-Semitic, (b) being accused of anti-Semitism and/or (c) paying a career penalty. I oppose genocide, whether committed against Jews (like the Holocaust) or by Jews (in Gaza). democracyatwork.substack.com/p/eisenhower... @democracyatwork.bsky.social

I compared President Clinton to President Trump in an interview with Clinton's powerful economic adviser, Dr. Robert Shapiro. Thoughts? democracyatwork.substack.com/p/clinton-ai... @democracyatwork.bsky.social

"[Clinton] believed in regulating markets in ways that allowed them to produce wealth while also benefiting the broader public." - Shapiro, one of Clinton's top economists Do you share the Clintonian view on regulation? democracyatwork.substack.com/p/clinton-ai... @democracyatwork.bsky.social

I interviewed top Clinton adviser Dr. Robert Shapiro. Democratic socialists need to stop attacking liberals and moderates. I voted for Sanders twice in the primaries — and the Democratic nominee twice in the general. democracyatwork.substack.com/p/clinton-ai... @democracyatwork.bsky.social

I'd love to manage a State Senate campaign... and I know, based on my experience and idealism, I'd do a damn good job. Anyone got advice on how I can land one of these positions? padems.hrmdirect.com/employment/j...

Clinton led America through unprecedented peace and prosperity. Trump led America through unprecedented violence and inequality. When Clinton's top economist explains Trump's failures, you should listen! I did. @democracyatwork.bsky.social democracyatwork.substack.com/p/clinton-ai...

One of President Clinton's top economic advisers, Robert Shapiro, helped me better understand President Trump's legacy. And yes: We discussed Jeffrey Epstein. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATSl... @democracyatwork.bsky.social

Eisenhower, who was not an anti-Semite, successfully stood up to Israel in 1956 when it disregarded international law. Not only did Ike defuse the Suez Canal crisis, his losses among Jewish voters were "minor." Lesson? democracyatwork.substack.com/p/eisenhower... @democracyatwork.bsky.social

Being autistic can be painful... VERY painful. I wish I could seem less intense. I wish I could intuitively assess people's boundaries. I wish I never misread a social cue or came across as abrasive or demanding. All I can do is explain: I'm sorry, I'm autistic.

President Trump wants to conquer Greenland and to protect Earth from climate change, we should be on guard! Part 1: democracyatwork.substack.com/p/when-trump... Part 2: democracyatwork.substack.com/p/when-trump... @democracyatwork.bsky.social

Trump wants to conquer Greenland. Greenland's ice sheet is melting due to climate change. You do the math about how this will end for Earth. @democracyatwork.bsky.social democracyatwork.substack.com/p/when-trump...

Scott Adams shared an anti-Semitic deepfake of me. (www.salon.com/2023/04/15/d...) He did this because, after I ridiculed him in a 2017 Salon article (www.salon.com/2017/05/24/d...), he insisted I was a "nemesis" (his word). Am I happy he died? No. Sad? Yes, because he's a human.

Madeleine Albright warned me in 2019 that President Trump wanted to invade Venezuela. He isn't clever, and he isn't surprising anyone who paid attention. Trump's an imperialist — and MAGA is imperialist right along with him. www.salon.com/2019/02/03/p...

We're living in "Wag the Dog," people. Are you one of the dupes or one of the skeptics? democracyatwork.substack.com/p/wag-the-do... @democracyatwork.bsky.social

It didn't take a rocket scientist to predict SCOTUS would overturn Trump's tariffs. They're saving MAGA from its own terrible economic policies. As I wrote for @PPI, tariffs are anti-prosperity. www.progressivepolicy.org/history-show...

Prediction: The Supreme Court will overturn Trump's tariffs... to do him a favor. High tariffs are anti-prosperity, as I demonstrated in this paper for @progressivepolicy.org. The MAGA movement needs them gone, and SOON!!! www.progressivepolicy.org/history-show...

I just learned @uopacificshs.bsky.social historian Michael Vitiello's cited my @salon.com article about the GOP's rightward shift! His article: law.lclark.edu/live/files/3... My article: www.salon.com/2019/07/05/h... Thoughts?

Fuck ICE I hope hell exists

"Wag the Dog" is real life, people. Welcome to TrumpWorld. Our allegedly pedophilic president is starting international crises to distract from his scandal. Will we let him get away with it? democracyatwork.substack.com/p/wag-the-do... @democracyatwork.bsky.social

"Avatar: Fire and Ash" proves the lie to the MAGA claim, "Get woke, go broke." So too did "Barbie." So too did "Black Panther." So too did "Wonder Woman." When will the alt right learn? democracyatwork.substack.com/p/avatar-fir... @democracyatwork.bsky.social

America hasn't had an anti-imperialist president since 1897. I wrote about this for @reason.com and discussed it for @democracyatwork.bsky.social. Reason: reason.com/2025/01/10/w... D @ W: democracyatwork.substack.com/p/trumps-lus... Socialists and libertarians must oppose Trump!

Trump has wanted to conquer Venezuela since 2019. Madeleine Albright, America's first woman Secretary of State, told me as much at the time. Please see attached. www.salon.com/2019/02/23/f... @salon.com

Trump was never anti-war. MAGAts who believed that were either lying or fooling themselves. America's last anti-war president left office in 1897. Go to the 16-minute mark in this video to learn about his foreign policy philosophy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=66_f... @democracyatwork.bsky.social

Madeleine Albright, America's first woman Secretary of State, predicted Donald Trump's foolishness. That man — who doesn't deserve the honorific "President" — has had colonialist designs on Venezuela since at least 2019. www.salon.com/2019/02/03/p... @salon.com @wellesley.edu

MAGA told me Trump was anti-war. I reminded them of my 2019 interview with my good friend, pro-Trump pundit Trish Regan. We debated whether Maduro should be deposed. Even then, I knew Trump had colonialist designs on Venezuela. www.salon.com/2019/02/23/f... @salon.com

The best five hours I spent in 2025 were filming these seven "Back Seat Socialism" episodes. I interviewed: - a climate scientist - a meteorologist - a linguist - half a dozen filmmakers - a 19th century president's grandson @democracyatwork.bsky.social www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I spent Christmas being (a) insulted by anti-Semites and (b) attacked as a self-hating Jew by Zionists. When I posted about this, the two responses neatly fell one each into the two aforementioned categories.

My most personal article of 2025 is a film review... but also more. 1. I first saw "Green Room" with my friend Nate Marks. He died this year. 2. I describe how "Green Room"'s plot is akin to my real-life encounter with a MAGA-ite. www.dreadcentral.com/editorials/5... @dreadcentral.bsky.social

I triggered white supremacists with my review of "Avatar 3" (see below). In case they ever claim to NOT have stood for these putrid views, I took a screenshot. This is part of why I'm writing a book (see below). democracyatwork.substack.com/p/avatar-fir...
