Great to see that the Administration is now taking its need to de-escalate and follow letter of the low so seriously.

My new piece: “An Economic Dignity Compact for the AI Age” We - not the largest AI interests - must shape our economic destiny. The answer’s not UBI: it’s a focus on purpose, work, contribution, double dignity jobs & a universal economic dignity floor democracyjournal.org/arguments/an...

The Stingey family’s grace in the face of such grief and injustice is beyond amazing.

@genesperling.bsky.social joined @cnn.com to explain how Trump’s latest attacks on the Fed’s independence will lead to higher inflation and higher interest rates at a time when costs are on the rise for Americans.

Sadly. This is exactly right.

Putin needs no disinformation campaign of his own. He has the Trump gang.

Sharyn Alfonsi showing what integrity, courage and a commitment to truth and a free press looks like.

Trump will say tonight that economy is A++++. That he is rescuing us from economy her inherited. Not true. Not close. Actually getting much worse under him from his self-inflicted economic wounds. See the facts below in my Bloomberg essay.

Great work to all who reported on this and fought it. Stay vigilant.

Naked children torn from their mothers and tossed into vans. U.S. citizens detained for hours in zip ties. Doors kicked in and belongings stolen or destroyed. This is the reality of Trump’s deportation agenda. It was always about cruelty.

Yes. So well said. Right on point. @aoc.bsky.social

Remember: GOP said permanent extension of tax cuts for wealthiest is "current law" & prevention of tax increases. By their own logic, not extending current law ACA Tax Credit is a $350B tax increase on working families - a tax increase they are demanding to keep gov open.

Over the last 33 years, there’s no economist I admire and respect more than Larry Katz. @lkatz42 shows brilliance can go with humility: economic rigor goes with understanding the layered realities of human behavior: that evidence of what works promotes the pursuit of justice.

I will keep open to the possibility of a coming transparent, rational explanation. BUT…the extreme politicization of the BLS by this White House should make all who care about the integrity of US data highly skeptical of anything that normalizes delays & inexplicable changes.

Beware a clear & present danger to independence of Fed through firing Fed Regional Presidents. The 7-Member Fed Board reappoints ALL 12 Fed Bd Presidents (a rotating 5 vote on interest rates) THIS February 2026. Illegal firing of Cook could allow majority of 7 to not reappoint Fed Presidents.

The President’s desire for unchecked power is leading to uncheck price increases for working families and unchecked health risks for our children.

The attempted firing of Lisa Cook is plain and simple a damaging attack on the independence of the Federal Reserve, the rule of law, the integrity of our economic institutions: an assault on the exceptional economic brand that has benefited generations of Americans.

I read this @propublica.org piece in October 2024. It was not only prescient, it provided the frame to understand the incomprehensible: an intentional, reckless and destructive strategy to traumatize and denigrate the very workers who serve tens of millions of hardworking Americans.

The cruelty and unnecessary displays of force are staggering.

ProPublica documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts and former ICE insiders say was rarely used before President Donald Trump took office in January:

The cruelty and unnecessary displays of force are staggering.

Combining official CBO distributional analysis and Yale Budget Lab tariff analysis: - All of lower 90% on average will be worse off. - Every decile making $143K or less will be more than $1000 worse off. - 10% most well off will be up $8K on average. Top 1% dramatically more.

Trump’s ENTIRE case that numbers were rigged is based on undisputed facts that show the OPPOSITE! Trump says benchmark revision of 818,00 jobs were after election. They were in Aug 2024. Oct report of 12K was on Nov 1 - another bad time for VP Harris. Those numbers later were shown to be 44K.

Republicans extend all expiring tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans as “current policy” and deny they add to deficit. But when it came to extending “current policy” tax credits for working families buying health care they said no dice, meaning a $335B tax increase on 22M in working families.

A truly historic feat to both be cruel in doing over $1 trillion of Medicaid and SNAP cuts, cause 10 million to lose health coverage and STILL increase the deficit by $3.4 trillion. A historic combo but one to be ashamed of not proud of.

This so appalling: so cruel: so non-sensical: so unpatriotic to do this to someone who fought for our nation. Who exactly - other than the White House - thinks this is a smart policy?

www.axios.com/2025/06/25/t... Trump CEA estimates of growth and deficit reduction under their tax/spending cut plan is the Mother of All Voodoo Economics. In other equally credible projections: I am projecting I will start in Pistons backcourt with Cade Cunningham in 2025-26
