Talking education with Jon Lovett

2025/09/28

It was a lot of fun to chat with Crooked Media’s Jon Lovett, mostly about American students’ falling test scores and the ways that post-Obama Democrats have gotten away from talking about the core function of the K-12 school system. We were going to shift gears into a more expansive conversation but tech woes stymied us. This is a public episode.

Noah Smith is probably the number one source of articles that hit my feed where I think “damn, I wish I’d written that.” So it was great to grab a chance to sit down and chat with him for almost 90 minutes today. We started out talking about the rising importance of batteries and electric motors, the Biden administration’s efforts to keep America in the game with China on this, and how Trump is squandering it.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.slowboring.comThanks for everyone who joined yesterday’s live interview with Rep. Ritchie Torres, I thought it was a fascinating discussion. Torres is young, he’s dynamic, and he has a pretty safe blue seat. He could take the path of least resistance and go along to get along. But he’s also ambitious enough to be thinking about the future and the larger picture and to see that the course Democrats have been on isn’t good enough to

Uh oh...

I sat down at around 11pm Eastern time yesterday with my friend Brian Beutler of Off Message to record a special live episode of our podcast Politix and thought I would make it our official content for this morning. We were of course dealing with some uncertainty about the election outcome but as you’ll see the assumption pretty swiftly turns to a Kamala Harris loss and a potentially large GOP gain in the senate.
