Party loyalty is fading. How do we know? Independent voters are surging all over the country. Learn more by listening to my conversation with @vavreck, anywhere you get podcasts.

After Obama's election, Ruy Teixeira and @JohnBJudis were hailed as having gotten it right— in "The Emerging Democratic Majority", they foresaw the coalition that gave Democrats their win.

Today, Ruy Teixeira asks: "Where have all the Democrats gone?"

"We need a system for deciding who gets in and who does not. That's not cruel, it's just rational."
Meet Ruy Teixeira, who feels the Democrats have moved too far away from common sense #immigration policies that the median voter can agree with.

Are we at risk of an accidental conflict with China? Stephen Roach of @Yale is the former chariman of @MorganStanley Asia. He has lived these questions, and he has ideas. @ProSyn, @SRoach_econ.

[Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @RepMGP]

I came to Congress to stand up for working families hurt by high energy prices, and to fight for rural Southwest Washington communities like the one I call home.

I was glad to sit down with the Washington State Standard and talk about what I'm working on: https://t.co/iwQjfBK9K0

“No one knows who will take the blame.” In divided government, the debt limit fight usually gets ugly. And it usually leads to a bipartisan deal. Learning from history in this short conversation with Frances Lee of @Princeton.

“This played out so precisely along historical patterns”, says Frances Lee of @Princeton of the recent debt limit deal. We have been here before; every few years since the fifties.

@VP "You always have time to be doing what you're supposed to be doing." A wise man.

[Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @MGPforCongress]

Too often politicians get caught up in culture wars and only listen to the loudest voices. I joined @HeidiHeitkamp & @JoelKFGO on the @_OneCountry_ #HotDishPod to talk about getting back to good governance that reflects rural values. Listen here: https://t.co/lhv8KCA30V

.@RanaForoohar: "America is telling a very different story about trade"

"If the White House has its way, this will be driven much more by domestic economic concerns in the future, particularly those of workers." https://t.co/emgmOd7ZOG

[The Political Conversation @ThePoliticalCo]

Great to see @DAcemogluMIT's Power and Progress recommended by the @FT; a great read on the future of the relationship between technology and work.

#Debtlimit votes never come easy. During the #Reagen and Eisenhower presidencies, Dems drove a hard bargain. In 2011, Republicans wanted a confrontation. In this 15-minute chat, @Princeton's Frances E Lee takes a historical perspective to the debt ceiling.

[The Political Conversation @ThePoliticalCo]

The 2023 debt crisis is over, but we will be back here in 2025. Academics have a longer memory than the media, so I spoke to Frances E Lee of @Princeton to understand what comes next. 15 minutes. Highly informative. Listen anywhere you get podcasts. https://t.co/79oCmowWR4

[The Political Conversation @ThePoliticalCo]

We've lifted the #DebtCeiling before, and we can learn from that precedent to decide how much (not to) panic around the #DebtCeilingAgreement today. Excited to sit down today with Prof. Frances E Lee, author of Unstable Majorities, for a historical perspective. Ep coming soon!

[Daron Acemoglu @DAcemogluMIT]

‘When mistakes involve powerful technologies, you’re going to have trouble.’

If you missed it, I sat down with @RanaForoohar from @FinancialTimes to discuss my new book #PowerAndProgress, cowritten with @baselinescene.
