I wrote a book about this! crisisofthecommongood.com
Former President Obama says Democrats made a mistake by making goals materialistic and instrumental: "What people are starved for at the moment is the ability to tell a moral and ethical story about how we live together in this moment."

As Trump rolls out the literal red carpet for Xi, remember this:
Under Obama, the U.S. and China were working together to weaken Iran.
Under Trump, Iran and China are working together to weaken the U.S..
The epitome of Trump’s foreign policy incompetence.

Uh no it is totally something Congress decides on its own. The Constitution is plain as day. Why run for the Senate if you don’t want to do the actual job?
You can’t “want the war to end” and then vote over and over against ending the war.
Sen. Jon Husted says he wants the Iran war to end, "but that's not something we necessarily get to choose on our own"

Every taxpayer, no matter your party, should be outraged by this.
Your money is being used to fund campaign ads for Trump. It’s totally completely illegally. He’s stealing your money for his campaign.

Just incredible to watch the president willingly blow up the US economy and what’s left of his presidency for a war he promised not to start

So wrong! @BarackObama is hosting China's VP Xi Jinping today at the Pentagon with a full honor ceremony with music and cannons...

I'm introducing innovative new legisation.
A fee on online social media companies' ads, to create a new fund to help communities build more spaces, like community centers, parks, and libraries, where people can gather in person.
Less online ads. More in real life experience.

The consequence of Trump's unstable, inchoherent and bullying foreign policy is that nations are just walking away from any kind of relationship - including an economic relationship - with the United States. They are turning to China, and that will be a jobs killer in the U.S..

At the UN yesterday, I talked about the need for Congress to move fast on AI regulation, while not laboring under the illusion we have to do it all at once. There is, I argue, some low hanging fruit we can start with - like model security, deep fakes, and protecting kids.

I was glad to join my Democratic colleagues at the annual UN General Assembly. It’s important for the world to hear that Trump’s incoherent, war mongering foreign policy has no support in the American public.

Voters aren’t going to take seriously Democrats’ outrage over Trump’s corruption unless we admit the whole political system is corrupt and make it a priority to eliminate billionaire and corporate and anonymous money from our politics.

Former NFL players’ association chief DeMaurice Smith and I write about how the Protect College Sports Act protects nothing more than a deeply exploitative system that hurts athletes.

I think there’s good reason to worry the U.S. approach, with no government subsidy or research and no domestic regulation, can prevail over China’s strategy of deep public-private sector partnership and subsidy and heavy domestic regulation.

It’s so craven (and not by accident) that calls to end the war are coming days after Republicans adjourned the House (and days before the Senate adjourns), so Congress can do nothing to end the war.
Voters aren’t dumb like these guys think they are.

Glad to join a @ForeignPolicy panel here at UNGA on the need to protect citizens from the dangers of AI and the need to engage with China and other big global players.

In the summer, I raise money to run a free citywide rec level basketball league in Hartford.
The rise of expensive pay to play travel sports is a threat to these experiences, especially in low income cities.
Watch this to see what we are losing as rec level sports are devalued.

More Republicans should follow suit. Putin’s growing financial relationship with the Trump family is a national security crisis.
BREAKING NEWS: Utah GOP Sen. JOHN CURTIS is asking the Senate Judiciary to investigate Donald Trump Jr over a report that a Russian oligarch close to Putin paid for his wedding celebration.

Yes this board is unhelpful window dressing that gives the appearance of a check on state control of CNN and CBS when it’s actually not at all.
At least Colorado State AG Phil Weiser and Washington State AG Nick Brown had sufficient principles/self respect not to sign on to the CNN/CBS "Editorial Independence Board" charade
