Today we have Matt Bruenig of the People's Policy Project , NLRB Edge , and The Bruenigs podcast on to talk about Ezra Klein's and Derek Thompson's book Abundance .

Today we are talking with Professor Eric Blanc about his book We Are the Union: How Worker-to-Worker Organizing Is Revitalizing Labor and Winning Big .

We also discuss what labor should do given the Trump administration's unprecedented threat to labor power as such. Check out Eric's Substack here . As Eric mentions, if you want to organize your workplace visit here , if you want to get another job so you might organize that workplace visit here , and if you want to support federal workers visit here .

Ryan is on vacation this week, so here's an episode from the archives. Today we're discussing the article " Truth and Politics " by Hannah Arendt. We talk about her idea that truth has both a weakness and a power to it, what the Herman Cain Award subreddit tells us about the power of propaganda, Joe Rogan getting owned on his own show, why Bernie Sanders is better at science communication than the CDC, and more. Enjoy!…
Today we are talking to Harvard Law Professor Mark Tushnet about his book Who Am I to Judge: Judicial Craft versus Constitution Theory . It’s common today for Supreme Court justices to outline a theory of constitutional interpretation, but it turns out that not only is this dishonest, but also something that only developed in the late 20th century. Enjoy! The Ian Toll book series Ryan mentions can be found here .…
Today we are discussing the book Assholes: A Theory, by Aaron James . It turns out there are important distinctions between the asshole, the douchebag, the jerk, and the psychopath, and they are highly relevant to the men (they are usually men) running the American government.

This time we've got Eoin Higgins on to talk about his book Owned: How Tech Billionaires on the Right Bought the Loudest Voices on the Left . He uses Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi as case studies in how shifting monetary incentives created by tech oligarchs like Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen combined with certain personal pathologies turned formerly respected progressive journalists into right-wing blowhards. Coincidentally, Ryan also made videos on both Greenwald and Taibbi , which make for a nice pairing.…
This time we are taking a step back to consider just what is going on with shadow president Musk and his gang of thugs seizing control of core government functions. It's important, we feel, to foreground the grave political implications of what is happening. Subscribe now to hear the rest of the episode!…
