Donald Trump’s Disingenuous Promise to Champion Free Speech It is Donald Trump’s systematic campaign to stamp out dissent and punish those who disagree with him that will be remembered as among the most singularly un-American aspects of his disruptive tenure.

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

An Economic Dignity Compact for the AI Age Technology does not shape our destiny. We still have the power to do that—if we keep human well-being, happiness, and dignity top of mind.

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

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

ICE's tear gas sent a 6-month-old to the hospital, the latest in an alarming pattern Federal agents' use of chemical weapons has hurt children at immigration raids, while walking down their block, and in their schools.

This isn’t the first time ICE has tear gassed a baby www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

@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.

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

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.

Bureau of Labor Statistics postpones key data report with no explanation There is heightened concern about the future of key government statistics, including politicization and accuracy.

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.
