This clip is for anyone who grew up with or went to school with a total POS but doesn't wanna publicly flame them. Live vicariously through Aaron's rage!
I went to law school with the guy who destroyed USAID, so I can say with some personal knowledge that the pieces of shit staffing this administration are psychopaths and losers. Everyone hated Jeremy Lewin then. I just wish I'd been meaner to him when I had the chance.

Come for the thoughtful analysis on Trump's foreign policy from @dbessner and @dwdavison, stay to hear @AaronRegunberg rant about the sociopath he went to law school with who destroyed USAID. Eat shit, Jeremy Lewin. When it's time for your Nuremberg trial, we'll be there.

It's a crossover! On today's episode we're joined by @dbessner and @dwdavison of @AmPrestigePod to talk Trump's foreign policy and what a left response should look like…but only after we settled the age-old debate of: Is Trumpism fascism? Get excited! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Did you know that in the 1934 World Cup in Italy, Benito Mussolini had a special trophy made -- the giant, fascist Coppa del Duce? This and much more in this week's @FightFascismPod episode!
Word on the street is there's a big soccer tournament starting this week. Turns out, it has a lot to say about democracy authoritarianism. In this week's episode @alex_shephard joins us to talk the politics -- good, bad, and ugly -- of the World Cup. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

The great @ZephyrTeachout on why a nationalism based on ideas like freedom is a solution to the far right's ethnonationalism.

"The premise of our laws is that the fortunes of the people shouldn't be dependent on the whim, the caprice, or the emotional stability of a few self-appointed men. And yet our privacy, healthcare, agriculture, all is." @ZephyrTeachout coming out swinging on our latest episode!

"A monopoly is a mini-dictator over an industry. And if you have enough mini-dictators over industries, then you stop living in a free society." @matthewstoller explains why monopolies aren't just an economic problem -- they're an alternative and antidemocratic political system.

New episode with @davidsirota! You may have noticed that corruption is legal. It almost feels natural. But that’s horseshit, according to David, who joined us to explain how we got here and how, for the love of all that’s good, we can claw our way out. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Sure, you could listen to The Daily ask inane questions like “Is China Winning the AI Race?” Or you could listen to @FightFascismPod, where we ask, winning the race against whom? Because we’re not talking about America winning any races. We’re talking about multinational corporations that have zero regard for America’s national interests. I don’t trust the government of China, but why the fuck should we trust Sam Altman and Elon Musk any more?
New episode! We spoke with @sarahbmyers, who laid out why AI, as it's currently structured, is all about the consolidation of power among a handful of oligarchs, BUT ALSO why that's not how it needs to be. Down with the AI overlords, up with the people! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

"Most of the abundance bros seem not to understand housing finance at all. They're so fixated on an anti-regulatory tirade, which raises suspicions about who they're fighting for." Check out our latest episode for more spicy takes: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

On our latest episode, tenant union organizer @taraghuveer -- who knows much, much more about housing policy and development dynamics than any of us -- lays out in extremely definitive terms what the abundance bros get wrong about housing. "The idea that all we need to do is build more housing -- that's actually not rooted in reality. If you look at the numbers, there's no world in which we could build enough housing over the next 5 or 10 years at a pace fast enough to keep up with the loss of housing that's affordable to people as landlords hike the rent. Any thinking person understands that there is no simple solution for a problem that's this complex. It's a question of priority and sequence. The rent is too damn high today, and that's because the market is completely unregulated, it's the Wild West. The first thing we need to do is regulate the market. And then we need to think about supply -- and specifically, supply of housing that people can actually afford to live in."
