The only way to stop the bleeding in the U.S. government bond market is for Congress to reclaim its tariff authority from the Trump administration and restore order and economic rationale to trade policy. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

News Analysis: As the breadth of the Trump revolution has spread across Washington in recent weeks, its most defining feature is a burn-it-down-first, figure-out-the-consequences-later recklessness. The costs of that approach are now becoming clear.

I’m Turkish. X suspended 700+ justice & democracy protesters’ accounts at our gov’t’s demand. We see it as Musk collaborating with Erdoğan. That’s why we’re on Bluesky; most of us may even close our X accounts ourselves, and some already have.

Opposition from civil society is no doubt important, but it's effective, organized, *unified* political opposition that is needed to reverse the authoritarian slide. That at least is the lesson I draw from (the failures of the opposition parties in) Erdogan's Turkey. Looking at you, Democrats!

Erdogan, during his tenure as Mayor of Istanbul in 1990s famously stated “Democracy is like a train: when we reach our destination, we get off.” More than 2 million people gathered today in Istanbul (despite a 9 day holiday) to show Turkish people’s commitment to democracy.

Here's an open letter to the American people, that I was proud to sign along with thousands of other members of the National Academy of Sciences #EconSky #AcademicSky marketdesigner.blogspot.com/2025/03/open...

Perhaps April 2, 2025, will be remembered as the day when Trump himself initiated the liberation process of the U.S. from the incompetent Trump Administration.

Tariffs are a distraction. They will not create jobs or help the middle class; the effect on the trade balance (if you care about it) will be small. The obsession with trade and manufacturing obscures that revitalizing the middle class requires focusing on services, where the jobs are/will remain.
