"The notion that taxing Lesotho gemstones is necessary for the U.S. to add steel jobs in Ohio is so absurd that I briefly lost consciousness in the middle of writing this sentence." This piece is a perfect explanation of the tariff insanity.
A lot of folks want to argue for a future-world that doesn't yet exist, in which the Trump tariffs guide us to a perfect equilibrium for US growth. But the tariff plan announced yesterday does exist. We can read it. It does not make sense and is not defensible on its own terms.

A robust social safety net is what enables kids who are born into difficult situations ultimately succeed - which is why things like the #ChildTaxCredit and #FreeSchoolMeals have extraordinarily high returns on investment.

I can’t believe @Disney’s @Pixar is making a #NIMBY movie I just saw previewed at #D23 “The story follows a young girl…who can transfer her mind into a robot beaver…uniting the animals to fight off the plans of a real estate developer.” variety.com/2024/film/news/h…

Dude it is just repo (i.e. short-term collateralized lending) being done by the @NewYorkFed - either @BernieSanders is being deliberately misleading or he’s ignorant
When we say it's time to provide health care to all our people, we're told we can't afford it.
But if the stock market is in trouble, no problem! The government can just hand out $1.5 trillion to calm bankers on Wall Street.

RAND PAUL: If we're going to investigate Giuliani, then we should investigate Hunter Biden.
@SRuhle: Does that mean we should investigate how Kushner's family got foreign money? Ivanka's Chinese trademarks?
RP: If we want to go down the road of self-destruction, we can do that.

This is why I don’t understand all the economic optimism. As soon as we let our guard down, the virus rebounds. Behaviors have to change to keep it in check. How will school work in the fall?

This is the wrong take. It is actually a very low error rate. Every big program will have some waste/errors/fraud - in fact, if there is too little of this, the program design is too restrictive, and people who need aid won’t get it. See: Type 1 v Type 2 errors.

My father, Dr. Barry Kaufman, was the health reporter for @NBCNews Chicago (Channel 5) from 1976-1991, and I vividly remember him doing a spot in the 80s where he deliberately shook hands with an AIDS patient to show it was safe.

Rough rules of thumb: hospitalization rate 20%, ICU rate 5%, death rate 1% - these all seem pretty consistent now with positive test results below:
BREAKING: There are now 8,115 cases of coronavirus in NYC, per City Hall. At least 1,450 are hospitalized, including 370 in the ICU. There have been 60 deaths citywide.
Positive results by borough:
Queens: 2,254
Manhattan: 1,868
Brooklyn: 2,484
Bronx: 1,071
Staten Island: 437

When we named #InclusiveAbundance, we chose the words deliberately. On the surface, it’s obvious - we want abundance to include everyone, everywhere in America. But it goes deeper than that - the #Abundance movement is ideologically inclusive, inclusive of seemingly disparate intellectual communities and advocacy groups, and inclusive across many sectors and segments of our society. That was exactly what made #Abundance2024 so great!
Since the election, there's been a lot of talk about abundance as a path forward for Democrats. Our @DylanGyauchL followed the money for @TheProspect and found a lot of ties between the centrist groups pushing abundance and oil and Big Tech.

.@RonaldKlain is correct
"When you have a crisis like this, the 'deep state' is what fights the crisis like this. It's the men and women who are permanent government servants. ... They need to be turned loose to solve this problem, not distrusted and sidelined."

This is incredible, and shows how diverse and deep the bench is on the Dem side.
Staggering: if every uncalled race breaks as I expect, House Dems' class of 61 freshmen would include *35* women & just 19 white men. By contrast, Republicans' class of 31 would include 29 white men & just *one* woman.

We need to massively increase our production of #PPE and vents ASAP (#PPENow). We need to keep everyone on lockdown until cases plummet. And then we need extensive #TestingAndTracing to keep the spread low while we wait for a vaccine. #ExponentialGrowth leaves no margin for error

We need an aggressive two-pronged approach here: public health&economic intervention. The key is they are mutually reinforcing. Testing, contact tracing,&quarantine combined w/ federally funded mandatory paid sick/quarantine leave, small businesses loans,&other fiscal stimulus.

The more I think about this tired trope from @marcorubio and @SenMikeLee, the angrier I get. The data suggest they are wrong. Common sense suggests they are wrong. The work disincentives of 80s “welfare” programs aren’t present here. It’s all just about ignoring kids in poverty.
!! GOP Sens. Rubio & Lee come out swinging against Romney child benefits plan:
"We do not support turning the Child Tax Credit into ... a ‘child allowance,’ paid out as a universal basic income"
"That is not tax relief for working parents; it is welfare assistance"

Actually the “discourse” illustrates how advocates of debt cancellation can only use ad hominem attacks and anecdotes rather than actual data analysis that takes into account efficient allocation of scarce resources

#BabyBonds are better. The #AmericanFamilyAct is better. #AffordableHousing development is better. Cracking down on predatory institutions is better. The list goes on...
President Biden can #CancelStudentDebt.
This would help close the racial wealth gap and provide relief to tens of millions of workers, people, and families.

When we launched #InclusiveAbundance one short year ago, we dreamed about hosting a conference like this.
2 days. 15 panels. 60 experts weighing in on issues ranging from critical minerals to building a world-class federal workforce to economic mobility to artificial intelligence. Plus main stage conversations with @DKThomp, @mattyglesias, @WHOSTP, @JerusalemDemsas and @patrickc.
An abundance of Abundance! #Abundance2024

The unemployment rate, which has been steadily falling since hitting 10% in 2010, is now at 4.1%, barely above its 45-year low. It is hardly surprising that we are starting to see wages rise, and the #TaxCut bill has nothing to do with it

This is a good take from @MaxBoot
Where Biden has really failed is not in policy but in communication. Biden has made less effective use of the bully pulpit than any president since George H.W. Bush, another longtime Washington insider, and we know what happened to him in 1992. wapo.st/3SkcBh2
