Instead of market competition, inflation forces young and old into rivalrous competition for housing.

The Ezra Klein Show - The Opinions: Bernie Sanders and Ruben Gallego
What will America’s story be after President Trump? My colleague David Leonhardt did a great series on that question this year, talking to a number of leading politicians. I thought two of those episodes, with Senator Bernie Sanders and with Senator Ruben Gallego, would be of particular interest to you.
And they’re great to listen to as a pair. Sanders and Gallego have strong views about where the Democratic Party went wrong and how it can win back working-class voters in particular — views that have a lot of overlap but also some interesting shades of difference. So I wanted to share both conversations.

Pod Save America - Trump White House Secrets Revealed
Vanity Fair publishes a candid interview with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles in which she makes eye-popping admissions about Trump, Elon Musk, and many more. Trump interrupts the season finale of Survivor to deliver an angry, meandering primetime address on the economy, and the administration moves closer to war with Venezuela, announcing a blockade of oil tankers trying to enter or leave its ports. Jon and Dan discuss all the latest and then turn to Trump’s new executive orders on gender-affirming care and medical marijuana, Speaker Mike Johnson’s inability to hold his coalition together, and DNC Chair Ken Martin’s decision to bury a much-anticipated postmortem report on the 2024 election.

Consider This from NPR - Rob Reiner loved America. He thought it could be better
Rob Reiner spent his life trying to fix what he saw as America’s shortcomings. In an interview shortly before his death he explained why he was optimistic America could be better.
The actor and director was found dead on Sunday along with his wife Michelle Singer Reiner.
Their son has been charged with their murders.
And those tributes – they’ve centered on Reiner's acting, the movies he’s directed, but also on his political activism.
It’s something he talked to the journalist Todd Purdum about shortly before he died.
Purdum wrote about that interview in the New York Times this week, and joins Scott Detrow to discuss what he learned about Reiner's work and view of America's future.

Bad Faith - Episode 535 – Veterans Are the New Black: The Graham Platner Story (w/ Branko Marcetic, Matthew Hoh, & Yasmin Nair)
Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock our full premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast
Jacobin columnist Branko Marcetic, Green Party Senate candidate and veteran Matthew Hoh, & Current Affairs editor-at-large Yasmin Nair join Bad Faith to discuss the controversies surrounding Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner in light of a new Politico article that dives deep into his background. Branko has written a piece for Jacobin arguing that the press is only telling a partial story about the man that is more unflattering for being incomplete, while Yasmin has written that he embodies a kind of toxic masculinity that the left is fetishizing because it thinks it will help them win. Matthew provides an example of a different kind of veteran who has learned & narrativized his past service differently than Platner. The three engage in a rich conversation about whether the left should embrace this candidate, whether it necessarily condones US imperialism by fetishizing veteran candidates, and more broadly, whether it's too willing to abandon its morals in order to "win."
