Chris Deluzio, a young Democratic representative from western Pennsylvania, just penned an unorthodox op-ed in The New York Times urging Democrats to embrace Trump's contentious tariffs. Could he be on to something? Deluzio, who outperformed his party in a working-class swing district last November, says Democrats' failure to address the economic concerns of everyday Americans is the reason they lost the 2024 election — and why they're still struggling under Trump. Today on Lever Time, Senior Podcast Producer Arjun Singh sits down with Deluzio and reporter Amos Barshad to explore the history of the Democratic Party prioritizing unregulated free markets over the American worker — and how that's now left them unable to conceive a winning economic agenda.

Legal sports gambling is the apple of the eye of many corporate and private state actors—but how does it affect states, communities, people?
Paul and Mike welcome journalist Amos Barshad to this episode of Ownership Matters, following the publication of his article "The Homeowners' Rebellion" in The Lever. Amos dedicated time and resources to research for this well-written article, going so far as to take a trip to multiple ROCs in Minnesota. Listen in to hear him describe his experience and what he took away from his interactions.
The guys are talking about the recent article that Amos Barshad posted on the Lever about Bowlero and if its ruining bowling. We also are talking about the infamous 98 Youth Masters tourney, PWBA action, Brooklyn Rob returning to bowling after the injury, and worst of the week.
On this week's episode of Lever Time, producer Frank Cappello and reporter Amos Barshad are joined by union organizers Griffin Ritze and Fatou Souare, who are both involved in a current union drive at an Amazon warehouse in Kentucky. Griffin, an Amazon employee who was recently fired as alleged retaliation, and Fatou, a local community leader with the Kentucky African Women's Association, speak to The Lever about the unique challenges of organizing a large, diverse workforce in one of Amazon's largest locations — and what their efforts mean for the larger fight ahead against Amazon.In 2022, workers at Amazon's KCVG air hub kicked off their union drive, seeking increased pay, inclusionary policies for non-Native English speakers, and stronger workplace protections. Due to the size and diversity of KCVG's workforce, local community groups have also gotten involved. In response, Amazon is apparently doing everything in their power to crush the union effort, including hiring union-busting law firms to hold “captive audience” meetings. In today's interview, Frank and Amos speak with Griffin and Fatou about the unique challenges of organizing the Amazon hub, the different union-busting tactics the company employs, and how groups like the Kentucky African Women's Association are working to educate and empower the community.A transcript of this episode is available here.Links:Amazon Labor Union, Northern Kentucky KCVGBONUS: Last week's bonus episode of Lever Time Premium, exclusively for The Lever's supporting subscribers, featured David Sirota's conversation with media strategist Jason Kint about how Facebook's parent company Meta is trying to protect the money it makes from harvesting kids' user data.If you'd like access to Lever Time Premium, which includes extended interviews and bonus content, head over to LeverNews.com to become a supporting subscriber.If you'd like to leave a tip for The Lever, click the following link.

On this episode, I talk with Amos Barshad, the author of the book, “No One Man Should Have All That Power: How Rasputins Manipulate the World.” It was published by Abrams Press in April. The book looks at the people in the shadows of the powerful who silently pull strings and wield their own power. It’s incredibly interesting and entertaining, covering Rasputins in everything from pop culture to crime, from professional sports to politics. It also covers the namesake Rasputin – Grigori Raputin, an almost mythical Russian mystic who had the ear and the trust of Prince Yusupof, until Rasputin was murdered. Barshad was raised in Israel, the Netherlands and Massachusetts. He’s a former staff writer at The FADER and Grantland, and has written for The New Yorker, the New York Times, and Arkansas Times.
What up stokers, in this epic episode, we are joined by author Amos Barshad to discuss his new book, No One Man Should Have All That Power. Strider once again joins in on the discush to spread his wisdom and we discuss our upcoming trip to Cabo. Check out Amos's book here

The worst part about the Trump administration’s high turnover? Every cabinet member is worse than the last. In the interview, Grigori Rasputin bent the ear of the last Russian tsar, manipulating affairs of state behind the scenes as he saw fit. But how did a man like him rise to such power? And what about his spiritual successors like Phil Spector or Tom Brady’s trainer? Amos Barshad, author of No One Man Should Have All That Power: How Rasputins Manipulate the World, has our ear. In the Spiel, what does Joe Biden stand to gain from apologizing—and shouldn’t a (likely) contender for president think in those terms? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Ringer's Bryan Curtis and David Shoemaker talk about how the NRA became a media entity (03:00), the messy Winter Olympics coverage (17:45), and Amos Barshad's article about The Player's Tribune (34:00).
In this episode, journalist Amos Barshad talks about his story, “Why are the Soccer Hooligans of Argentina killing each other?” which was published last year in The Fader Magazine. The story peeks into the lives of the most diehard fans of Newell’s Old Boys, Leo Messi’s hometown team. “The best thing you can do is to start with an idea. If you believe it’s worth pursuing, keep pursuing it no matter what. Don’t let the fact that your pitch gets rejected by a bunch of places dissuade you, don’t let the fact that it’s hard to find someone to talk to dissuade you, don’t let the fact that of course, the writing is hard, dissuade you. Just make sure you finish the piece. Then you’ll look back and you’ll be proud no matter what.” Amos is a staff writer at The Fader. Prior to the Fader, he wrote for Grantland. He’s also been published in The New York Times Magazine, and New York Magazine and a slew of other places. You can find more of his work at his website: http://amosbarshad.com/ http://www.thefader.com/2016/06/01/argentina-soccer-hooligan-murders-old-boys-barra-brava
