I recently spoke with @beyer.house.gov on new research from PSG Consulting, @ifpg.bsky.social and Dewey Square Group examining ideological bias in LLM training data. As Congressman Beyer puts it: "You only have to go as far as Grok to see ideological bias smack us in the face."

The biggest story isn’t how much money is being spent — it’s where & how it’s being deployed across competitive races, TV, streaming & social media. This is what we uncover in Need to Know: Who's in Your Media Market newsletter: whosinyourmediamarket.substack.com/p/growth-and... What we're seeing 👇

Othering is a classic tactic to divide and distract. New research from @hartresearch.bsky.social & PSG Consulting shows how it's being used in politics — and how shared values are being overshadowed by division. Learn more & watch the discussion: www.psgconsulting.com/videos/v/the...

A narrative to move us forward in 2026: “We the people — & we the people means all the people.” In this #FirstMondaysWebinar clip, Andy Bernstein describes America’s 250th as a chance to reclaim patriotism from the Right as something powered by everyday people. www.psgconsulting.com/videos/v/sha...

Why do “us vs. them” narratives work so well — and how do we push back without playing “whack a mole?” During Monday's #FirstMondaysWebinar, we explored new research on “othering” — one of the Right’s most powerful strategies for pitting Americans against each other and gaining power.

What information is actually informing the AI large language models we use every day? New research from PSG Consulting, Innovating for the Public Good and Dewey Square Group finds a troubling "inverted funnel" in AI training data. ⬇️

As students return to class, recall Trump's attacks on education & research — slashing agency staff, freezing grants & driving American scientists abroad. These attacks undermine schools & science, while undercutting the American Dream & our competitiveness. pagegardner.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

Over the past year, PSG Consulting’s #FirstMondaysWebinar series on narratives brought together diverse voices to ask a shared question: How do we create narratives that strengthen our democracy? One thing became clear — we won’t rebuild America without stories rooted in everyday lived experiences.

During our 2025 Narrative Series, one thing was clear: rebuilding America requires compelling stories rooted in core values. Voters need to hear narratives that acknowledge their everyday struggles in 2026 to elect candidates we support & strengthen democracy.

An @endcitizensunited.bsky.social survey shows that 53% of voters want Congress to make reducing corruption a “very big priority.” Yet, many believe Republicans — even when they disagree on policy — represent change, while Democrats are seen as defending the system.

The crew ready with the stretcher tho. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Based on what we can see? Oregon is likely to be the first state to transition to Universal Health Care. Truly! It's audacious to say, but it is tangible. There is a transition plan due to the OR Legislature in 2026. Health Care for All Oregon has been advocating for this change for decades.

This could be a good moment for someone to say, "Okay, everyone who pushed for this guy needs to have their influence cut away" but it's more likely this will be misconstrued as, "Democrats won't do what it takes to win" Anyway time to forget about this guy and focus on dumb Canada stuff.
