Story of the Week (DR):Berkshire board names Greg Abel as CEO, Buffett to remain chairWarren Buffett says he'll propose Greg Abel take over as Berkshire Hathaway CEO at year-endWarren Buffett makes surprise announcement: He's stepping down as Berkshire Hathaway CEOOpenAI backs off push to become for-profit companyIn a nutshell, with help from its chatbot: “OpenAI has restructured into a hybrid model with a nonprofit parent company, OpenAI Inc., and a for-profit subsidiary now called a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC). This shift allows for investment while keeping a focus on its mission of developing AGI for the benefit of humanity. The change responds to previous criticism about reducing nonprofit oversight.”OpenAI's nonprofit mission fades further into the rearviewSam Altman urges lawmakers against regulations that could ‘slow down' U.S. in AI race against ChinaKohl's CEO Fired After Investigation Finds 'Highly Unusual' Business Deal with Former Romantic PartnerKohl's CEO Ashley Buchanan was fired after an internal investigation revealed he violated the company's conflict-of-interest policies. The probe found that Buchanan directed business to a former romantic partner, Chandra Holt, who is the CEO of Beyond Inc. and founder of Incredibrew. Holt secured a multimillion-dollar consulting deal with Kohl's under unusually favorable terms, which Buchanan failed to disclose.As a result, Buchanan was dismissed for cause, forfeiting equity awards and required to repay a portion of his $2.5 million signing bonus.This marks the third CEO departure at Kohl's in just three years, highlighting ongoing leadership instability amid declining sales.Proxy Firms Split on Harley-Davidson Board Shake-Up MMGlass Lewis= Withhold; ISS = What's happening at Harley exactly?We have a fun twist at the proxy cage match between Harley Davidson and H Partners, who are 9% shareholders and have started a withhold vote campaign against long-tenured directors Jochen Zeitz, Thomas Linebarger, and Sara Levinson: Glass Lewis says “withhold” but ISS says “support”?Through lackluster reasoning based on hunches and not performance analytics, ISS revealed, without satire, that "[T]here are compelling reasons to believe that as a group [the targeted directors] still have a perspective that can be valuable” and, in discussing the candidacy of departing CEO Jochen Zeitz: “[I]t appears that his time in the role has been more positive than negative, which makes it hard to argue that his vote on a successor is worthless.”Testimony in House Hearing: “Exposing the Proxy Advisory Cartel: How ISS & Glass Lewis Influence Markets”A 2015 study found that 25 percent of institutional investors vote “indiscriminately” with ISS [1].In 2016, a study estimated that a negative recommendation from ISS leads to a 25-percentage point reduction in voting support for say-on-pay proposals [2].A 2018 study demonstrated that a negative recommendation from ISS was associated with a reduction in support of 17 percentage points for equity-plan proposals, 18 points for uncontested director elections, and 27 points for say-on-pay [3].In 2021, a study examining “robo-voting”—the practice of fund managers voting in lockstep with the recommendations of ISS—identified 114 financial institutions managing $5 trillion in assets that automated their votes in a manner aligned with ISS recommendations 99.5% of the time [4].A 2022 study provided further evidence that institutional investors are highly sensitive to an opposing recommendation from a proxy advisory firm. Opposition from ISS was associated with a 51 percent difference in institutional voting support compared with only a 2 percent difference among retail investors [5].During the 12 months ending June 30, 2024, negative recommendations from the two proxy advisory firms were associated with (1) a 17-percentage point difference in support for directors in uncontested elections at the S&P 500 (96.9% with the firms' support vs. 79.7% without); (2) a 35-percentage point gap for say-on-pay proposals (92.8% vs. 58.0%); and (3) a 36-percentage point difference for shareholder proposals (42.4% vs. 6.6%)Why Leo XIV?

The first few months of the Trump administration have proven not just how willing much of America was to embrace and celebrate fascism, but how crucial careful, clear-eye, and thoughtful reporting and analysis are to building and sustaining a resistance movement.Few publications have been as essential in this moment as Liberal Currents, which has consistently brought deep understanding, a sense of urgency, and a commitment to the necessary practical steps of defending liberal institutions and values.That's why I'm delighted to have on today the founder and editor-in-chief of Liberal Currents, Adam Gurri. We talk about the intellectual environment, the virtues of being well-informed while not overwhelmed, and what political sciences has to say about whether Trump can succeed in his quest to become a dictator.Discuss this episode with the host and your fellow listeners in the ReImagining Liberty Reddit community: https://www.reddit.com/r/ReImaginingLiberty/ If you enjoy ReImagining Liberty and want to listen to episodes free of ads and sponsorships, become a supporter.

In diesem aufschlussreichen TE-Gespräch spricht Roland Tichy mit der hessischen AfD-Landtagsabgeordneten Anna Nguyen, die unlängst von einer offiziellen Delegationsreise ausgeschlossen wurde – mit der Begründung, sie sei „schädlich für das Ansehen Deutschlands“. Der Hintergrund: Das Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz stuft die AfD nun offiziell als „gesichert rechtsextrem“ ein. Welche politischen und gesellschaftlichen Konsequenzen hat diese Entscheidung? Und was bedeutet sie für Beamte, Soldaten und Polizisten, aber auch für das demokratische Grundverständnis in Deutschland? Anna Nguyen, selbst Kind vietnamesischer Flüchtlinge, schildert ihre Sicht auf die Vorgänge, spricht offen über Diskriminierung, Anfeindungen im Netz und ihre Motivation, trotz aller Widerstände für die AfD zu stehen. Dabei kritisiert sie die Rolle von Bundesinnenministerin Nancy Faeser und spricht über ihre Erfahrungen im Ausland – wo sie auf Zustimmung trifft, nicht Ablehnung. Das Interview beleuchtet die Verschiebung des politischen Diskurses, den Umgang mit Opposition und die Frage, ob sich der Verfassungsschutz vom Beobachter zum politischen Akteur wandelt. Ein Gespräch über Meinungsfreiheit, Rechtsstaatlichkeit und politische Ausgrenzung – kontrovers, persönlich und hochaktuell.

Q: Growing up in the 80s and 90s, having Christian ideals was about as common as speaking English.  Sunday lessons were “winsome”, and friends I invited usually came back. I never felt at odds with society, ever.  It was much easier to be a Christian, even when a few disagreed.  Those Sundays, Wednesday night bible studies, and church camps had a lasting positive effect on me. Fast forward 30- 40 years, and it seems much more difficult to speak openly about what we believe.  Our values are openly being targeted, and a Christian is wondering if the 90s playbook still works?  Should we respond to these attacks “winsomely”, with grace/peace?  Or should Christians go on the attack to get our values back?  How best to do this in 2024?  Appreciate your thoughts! P.s. We've been to several local churches over the last ten years.  In our experience, about 80% still use the winsome technique, while about 15-20% seem to be taking the Don't Tread On Me approach.  What is “The Way”? Summary In this conversation, Dr. E and Hanna discuss the evolving nature of Christianity, the importance of effective communication within the church, and the resilience of the church despite cultural challenges. Dr. E emphasizes the need for clarity in messaging and the significance of being involved in the church community. Takeaways: Churches change, but Christ's mission doesn't. Biblical truth should be taught plainly, not watered down. The Church has always been messy, but God calls us to love. Less theological depth = weaker pulpits. Show up. Serve. Be part of the Church you want to see. God preserves His Church, no matter the attacks. Find more episodes of Ask Dr. E here.

Tristan Snell returns with a scorching deep dive into the first 100 days of Trump's second term-a period marked by economic freefall, plummeting consumer confidence, and a stock market in retreat. With the U.S. economy officially shrinking and Trump's approval rating at a pathetic 39%, Tristan unpacks how tariff taxes, business uncertainty, and self-inflicted policy wounds have driven the country to the brink of recession.But this episode isn't just a post-mortem. Tristan lays out a simple, powerful roadmap for the pro-democracy coalition: focus on the economic wreckage, expose how Trump's billionaire cronies are profiting from middle-class pain, and hammer the rampant corruption infecting Washington. Drawing lessons from Canada's stunning political turnaround and past Democratic victories, Tristan explains why clear, direct messaging on kitchen-table issues is the key to winning in 2026 and beyond.

Pollsters, the media, and the institutionalized Left. What do they all have in common?  President Trump's first 100 days weren't as chaotic as they advertised. Now, they fear that the American people will see right through their deception, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “They polled over 2,000 people, but only 840 were identified as Trump voters. Shouldn't that have been half? So, what am I getting at? We're getting right back to what happened in 2016 when the polls were completely wrong. The same thing happened in 2020 when they overestimated Biden's strength by four or five points. And then, even in 2024, the NPR poll had—on the last day of the election—they had Kamala Harris winning by four points.”

I had a long flight from the east coast to San Diego. My seat mates were two guys from a rural town in Maryland. I don't know how it happened but we got started talked about the country. It was pretty obvious early on that we saw the world through different lenses. Very different lenses. We wound up having a really interesting discussion. We found that, in spite of our opposing views on many issues, we shared a lot of common ground. As I reflected on the conversation I came up with 10 strategies for honoring and exploring the opposition. That's the focus of this episode.

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Catherine of Siena, Virgin and Doctor of the Church Lectionary: 268The Saint of the day is Saint Catherine of SienaSaint Catherine of Siena's Story The value Catherine makes central in her short life and which sounds clearly and consistently through her experience is complete surrender to Christ. What is most impressive about her is that she learns to view her surrender to her Lord as a goal to be reached through time. She was the 23rd child of Jacopo and Lapa Benincasa and grew up as an intelligent, cheerful, and intensely religious person. Catherine disappointed her mother by cutting off her hair as a protest against being overly encouraged to improve her appearance in order to attract a husband. Her father ordered her to be left in peace, and she was given a room of her own for prayer and meditation. She entered the Dominican Third Order at 18 and spent the next three years in seclusion, prayer, and austerity. Gradually, a group of followers gathered around her—men and women, priests and religious. An active public apostolate grew out of her contemplative life. Her letters, mostly for spiritual instruction and encouragement of her followers, began to take more and more note of public affairs. Opposition and slander resulted from her mixing fearlessly with the world and speaking with the candor and authority of one completely committed to Christ. She was cleared of all charges at the Dominican General Chapter of 1374. Her public influence reached great heights because of her evident holiness, her membership in the Dominican Third Order, and the deep impression she made on the pope. She worked tirelessly for the crusade against the Turks and for peace between Florence and the pope. In 1378, the Great Schism began, splitting the allegiance of Christendom between two, then three, popes and putting even saints on opposing sides. Catherine spent the last two years of her life in Rome, in prayer and pleading on behalf of the cause of Pope Urban VI and the unity of the Church. She offered herself as a victim for the Church in its agony. She died surrounded by her “children” and was canonized in 1461. Catherine ranks high among the mystics and spiritual writers of the Church. In 1939, she and Francis of Assisi were declared co-patrons of Italy. Pope Paul VI named her and Teresa of Avila doctors of the Church in 1970. Her spiritual testament is found in The Dialogue. Reflection Though she lived her life in a faith experience and spirituality far different from that of our own time, Catherine of Siena stands as a companion with us on the Christian journey in her undivided effort to invite the Lord to take flesh in her own life. Events which might make us wince or chuckle or even yawn fill her biographies: a mystical experience at six, childhood betrothal to Christ, stories of harsh asceticism, her frequent ecstatic visions. Still, Catherine lived in an age which did not know the rapid change of 21st-century mobile America. The value of her life for us today lies in her recognition of holiness as a goal to be sought over the course of a lifetime.
