My dear friend Brady Williamson was always clear-eyed on our goal of rescuing families that were hanging onto the middle class by their fingernails. He understood that even if we changed only one person’s life, the fight would be worth it. I will miss his gentle reminders.

It's actually even worse than that because ad funding becomes a pretense people like @tonywest use for coddling monopolists and bringing them into the fold of the campaign, undermining populist messaging that would meet the American people where they are.
The campaign's earned media strategy down the stretch was supposedly to get R crossovers (eg, Cheney, Cuban). Then they got the same R support as Biden 2020 while hemorrhaging support from the base. Fundamentally though, the strategy was really just about placating the powerful.
It was obvious to many of us on the outside that @tonywest was sabotaging @kamalaharris's campaign -- constantly lavishing billionaires and executives with access, sucking up to Silicon Valley, and pushing their agenda -- but to see it in print is still revealing and upsetting.

One bit regret in Biden world? That Harris abandoned the anti-big-business populism of the campaign, reports @FranklinFoer theatlantic.com/politics/arc…

Feels like maybe Kamala Harris should embrace Elizabeth Warren’s Ultra-Millionaire Tax and barnstorm on that for the next ten days.
If you haven't had a chance, you might want to read a recent take from the Department of Justice on whether your point holds water. justice.gov/opa/speech/assis…
You are a "primary faculty member" of a law school center (CTIC) that takes funding from Google, Meta, and Amazon. And you were on the board of the Global Antitrust Institute, which takes funding from Facebook, Google, and Amazon, for almost 20 years. law.upenn.edu/institutes/cti…
In other words, only pay attention to "neutral" polls that don't bother to ask about corporate monopolies, says "neutral" antitrust professor who has taken funding from Big Tech and sits on boards funded by Big Tech and never discloses such in any of his "neutral" pontificating.
Another day, another data point that the big donors swarming the Harris operation to shut down antitrust enforcement have been doing a huge disservice to the party at a critical time in its fight against Trump.
Antitrust actions by the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission are viewed favorably by voters in some key 2024 battlegrounds, who see too much corporate power as a major problem trib.al/yX78pwI

The DOJ has called for sanctions against Google's search monopoly but there's an unaddressed elephant in the room: Google must be forced to spin off YouTube into an independent entity.

In tonight's debate, @ewarren called out @JohnEDeaton1 for saying online he would vote for Trump over Biden last year. Deaton responded, "Prove that, Senator. Prove that. I'll drop out of the race today." We have the proof. (1/2)
The stakes of surrendering on Biden-era enforcement are high. Read my oped about why. thehill.com/opinion/campaign…

I channeled my grief for the loss of my former boss -- Sen. Tim Johnson (South Dakota) -- into this tribute in the @RCJournal. It includes some political lessons about "bipartisanship" from Johnson's epic 2002 race that today's Democrats could heed. archive.ph/WPQts

So cool. Obviously I’m biased bc I’m an alum & she’s the best boss a girl could dream of but it’s not surprising that this audience is going wild for the woman who has single-handedly put the party on a path to standing up for workers over corporations. A sea change. Respect.

I’m excited for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz, but am *beyond proud* to have worked for @ewarren. What an incredible moment. 🗽

Elizabeth Warren gets emotional as she gets a huge round of applause at the DNC 🥹
I wrote a Medium piece about the split screen happening in tech policy right now. Despite the bravado coursing through Big Tech lobbying and PR right now, they are... losing. medium.com/@dangeldon/big-te…
I felt a deep connection to @AdyBarkan because of what we had in common before his diagnosis, but if our fates had been reversed, I couldn't have persevered with his courage, grace, dignity and resolve. He was a source of light, including in very dark times, and will be missed.

Big Tech has spent millions lobbying to dodge accountability & protect its monopolies. They've spent millions bankrolling political candidates. It’s time to fight back. Demand candidates sign the #NoBigTechMoney pledge! wapo.st/3NO24sH
