Ahem.
I’m very happy to announce that I have been offered and accepted a position on Senator Chris Dodd’s presidential campaign. I moved to Washington DC on Sunday and today is my first full day in Dodd HQ. From this point forward I will only be publishing my writing in an official capacity for the […]

I’m thrilled to announce that I have joined the blog of the American Constitution Society (ACSblog) as one of its new Editors at Large. I’m excited about this opportunity for a few reasons.
First, ACS is a tremendous organization dedicated to progressive legal values. I have been an active member of ACS since I […]

Starting today I will be blogging regularly at The Huffington Post, with posts going up at least once a week on the Republican presidential primary. My first post is viewable there now.
Also, I wanted to remind Emboldened readers to check out my blog The Right’s Field, which I co-author with Matt Ortega and Kombiz […]

Today I’m launching a new blog with Kombiz Lavasany of MyDD and Matt Ortega of State of the Union Blog called The Right’s Field. The Right’s Field (www.rightsfield.com) will exclusively cover the 2008 Republican presidential primary. It is our hope that we can provide insights and analysis into the race through close coverage. We want […]

I spent yesterday at my parents house in Westport with an assortment of cousins and relatives I haven’t seen in a while. I grew up in the best of both worlds, with a Jewish mother and a Christian father. Though we were a largely secular household, we celebrated both Hannukah and Christmas, primarily as an […]

I’m not sure if I’ll get to do any other blogging today, but I just wanted to reach out and say Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Emboldened readers. I hope you have great days with your family and loved ones. My thoughts are with our troops serving overseas who can’t be with their families […]

I just joined Facebook this weekend after putting up a successful resistance for years. I’m a bit of a Luddite when it comes to social networking tools targeted primarily towards high school and college kids (I don’t have a MySpace page either). But Facebook now allows anyone to join - you don’t have to be […]

You’ll notice that our ActBlue donation box has changed now that the election is over. We’ve replaced our congressional candidates with a new feature from ActBlue that allows bloggers to fundraise in order to draft a candidate that has yet to announce their candidacy for president. If the candidate decides to run, they will receive […]

I just got back into NYC, having taken a train up from DC this morning. I only got about three hours of sleep last night, but the last three hours I was awake were spent correcting people on their grammatical error when talking about the Democrats’ new majority in Congress. Didn’t you hear? We have […]

It feels like a long time ago, but two years ago Matt and I started this blog, then called The Baltimore Group. We were motivated by George Bush’s victory. We decided to dedicate ourselves to learning about, advocating for, and working on progressive issues and candidates. It’s been two years and now […]
