Today is the release of my book economicdignity.com/purchase #EconomicDignity- not GDP- must be our North Star. It must ensure the capacity to 1) care for family & be there for its most precious moments; 2) pursue potential & purpose; 3) work free from domination & humiliation.
It’s not too late for Congress to extend existing tax breaks for working families, writes @genebsperling. wapo.st/3IZLsPY
Hard to think of a more important essay on saving our democracy than @vanitaguptaCR oped on saving the First Amendment rights of our nation’s non-profits: You May Not Be Trump’s Target This Time. But You Could Be Next. - The New York Times nytimes.com/2025/07/27/opi…
Tax cuts for wealthiest estates were set to expire on 12/31/25 Tax cuts for those making over $25M were set to expire on 12/31/25 Tax cuts for health care for 22 million in working families were set to expire on 12/31/25. Trump Budget allowed only this one to expire.
My new essay in @washingtonpost How Trump/Republican principle of extending “current policy” tax cuts is iron clad for the uber-well-off - not for working America. Workers will face a crushing $335 billion tax hike on health care. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…

Republicans increased taxes on the working class by repealing the credits for millions who get insurance from the ACA exchanges. @genebsperling shows that they hiked premiums for working class Americans. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…
The population of Gaza needs food…children are starving to death every day. @WCKitchen and others are bringing in as many trucks as we safely can given the chaos that’s been created….but it’s not even close to enough. We need a ceasefire now and an increase in aid with safe…
Look at these photos taken by international organizations over the past 48 hours in different kitchens across Gaza, Khan Yunis, and Deir al-Balah. With the recent rise in aid collection at the crossings, @WCKitchen and other international organizations have been operating…
I have great respect for @elerianm . But he is deeply misguided here. I predict he will come to regret these posts. At a time when we see unprecedented Presidential behavior putting at risk the rule of law and integrity of valued US institutions— including an independent Fed —…
Some have asked me to elaborate on my earlier post, so let me start with two hypotheses. The first, and I feel very strongly about this, is that central bank independence is critical for better economic outcomes. It is a core principle that guides my thinking on this issue.…
On CNN on how Trump: 1) Inherited a soft-landing with inflation projected to get near 2%: 2) How his reckless trade policy is driving price up & growth down. 3) How Trump blames Powell for his own self-inflicted wounds & deploys Trumped-up charges. drive.google.com/file/d/1hTnvi0…

Israel starves civilians in Gaza partly on the basis that Hamas steals food from UN distributions. But the @nytimes reports that the Israeli military concluded, on the contrary, that Hamas has NOT systematically diverted UN food shipments. nytimes.com/2025/07/26/wor…
Every day, the horrors in Gaza reach new, unimaginable depths. And as starvation spreads, Netanyahu and Trump remain complicit in a scheme to use US taxpayer dollars to replace humanitarian aid orgs with mercenaries — leading to more death and devastation. This cannot continue.…
Gaza is descending into famine and Trump is turning his back on this moral crisis. There is no excuse - ever - to deprive civilians of desperately needed food and water. Trump must press Israel to end this blockade. cnn.com/world/live-new…
Today I’m calling clearly and simply: Mr. Netanyahu, let in the food. Mr. Netanyahu, stop blocking humanitarian aid and causing a man-made starvation in Gaza. The times of the United States providing you a blank check are over.
The food, medicine and aid are IN Gaza. The @UN won’t distribute it. Hundreds of truckloads are sitting there. The trucks are loaded. Demand they deliver. Yesterday, Hamas again rejected a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal that Israel accepted. Where’s your unequivocal condemnation?

This is indefensible: Will cost the govt $$, mean worse service, and undo so much of the work Cmr. Rettig -- a Trump appointee! -- prioritized. He focused on the IRS meeting diverse communities where they are, communicating in the language they are most comfortable using.
NEW: The IRS is considering ending non-English language services That’d drop phone and in-person interpreters + translations of common tax forms and notices. It’s to comply with Trump’s order designating English the US’s official language. Link in thread…
