1/ I've just accomplished something no economist has done in 80 years.

For the first time ever, I've created the complete accounting model of Keynes' revolutionary "Bankor" proposal the international monetary system that could have prevented decades of financial crises.

If someone told you only a few weeks ago that Iran would be at war, you would have guessed Israel, the US, or perhaps Saudi Arabia; not Pakistan.
It is very, very hard to keep in mind that we're not good at predicting & even harder to incorporate it into a general policy.

The traditional Christmas Eve procession of the Catholic Patriarch of Jerusalem to Bethlehem. Usually celebratory and accompanied by Christmas carols. This year it was silent and local Palestinian Christians carried banners supporting Gaza and calling for ceasefire

Putin's rule is weakening. 0/

This should become standard everywhere.

Expected, but still wonderful news!

[Janey Godley @JaneyGodley]

Well this just made me want to cry

[Alexander @AlexanderHaardt]

@icecoldnikita Yes!

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

People need to really look at the communities who delivered these miraculous victories in AZ, GA, MI, MN, etc. They are rarely a focus of traditional political investment or electoral strategy,& are often sacrificed in policy negotiations.

One “thank you” would be changing that.

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

I can feel Trump’s power fading.

[Christian Drosten @c_drosten]

Gerade in meiner mail. Ein Erstkontakt mit COVID-19 kann die Überzeugungsarbeit leisten, die alle anderen Informationskanäle verfehlen. Ich hoffe dennoch auf ein zweites Präventionsparadox für Deutschland.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Donald Trump’s premature claims of victory are illegitimate, dangerous, and authoritarian.

Count the votes. Respect the results.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

You have the power to silence him.

Listen to what he is saying and try, please try, to internalize it.

[Alexander @AlexanderHaardt]

Is this the end of the republic? Will the Senate in the future bestow the title of Augustus and relinquish its responsibilities as the Senate of the Roman Republic once did?

[Jennifer Griffin @JenGriffinFNC]

I just spoke to a distraught US Special Forces soldier who is among the 1000 or so US troops in Syria tonight who is serving alongside the SDF Kurdish forces. It was one of the hardest phone calls I have ever taken.

"I am ashamed for the first time in my career."

[Ned Price @nedprice]

The Saudis appear to have murdered a US resident (& a @washingtonpost contributor). The Chinese have arrested the head of INTERPOL. The Russians have used chem weapons on UK soil, etc.

The worst impulses of brutal regimes are coming fwd bc/ no one is standing up against them.
