My guest on the show today is Chris Cillizza. You may know from his many years writing for the Washington Post, his many years on-air for CNN, or his recent third act on Substack, but I know Chris from way back when, as a friend and classmate in the Loomis Chaffee class of 1994. We didn't stay in close touch after we graduated, but we’ve stayed friendly and have crossed paths occasionally in the 30 years since.

I voted today, in a presidential election, on Nov. 5, 2024, and I noted the time, too, and I looked hard at the earnest faces of fellow citizens working the polling place. I was consciously preserving details that usually require no absorption at all, I think because this one felt different. I voted for democracyI voted for American democracy, with all its shaggy faults and myriad imperfections.

Left Adrift: What Happened to Liberal Politics by Timothy Shenk Timothy Shenk’s new book, Left Adrift: What Happened to Liberal Politics, tries to weave together two stories and sometimes succeeds. One is about the rival careers of two of the major center-left political advisers of the past half-century, Stan Greenberg and Doug Schoen, each of whom has peddled his consultative wares not just in the U.S. but across the world, from the U.K. to South Africa, to Israel, to Ukraine.

The year was 1995. The venture capitalist Ben Horowitz, who recently made news by endorsing Donald Trump for president, was in his late twenties, working as a computer engineer for a software company in Silicon Valley. He was good at his job, but not obviously headed for great things. Marc Andreessen, on the other hand, was a legend in the making. He was only twenty-two, but had already co-founded Netscape Communications, the world’s first great web browser company.

It’s been almost a decade since the Austin elementary school my kids attended, the school formerly known as Robert E.

From 2015 to 2016, I was in the center of it all, along with my wife and a small group of similarly liberal and left-wing parents who organized to change the school’s name to something less awful.

AbstractDespite strong evidence that autonomy enhances motivation and achievement, few interventions for promoting student autonomy in higher education have been developed and empirically tested. Here, we demonstrate how two autonomy-supportive policies effectively increase classroom attendance and subject mastery.

If you go to the official Rush Limbaugh website these days, what’s striking is both how sanitized an image of Limbaugh it projects and how much smaller this makes him seem. His eyes are in soft focus, with the slight glisten of a tear starting to form. The non-Rush pictures are of soldiers, children, and bright-eyed scholarship beneficiaries.
