A pleasure to join @annmarie, @lisaabramowicz1 & @FerroTV on @BloombergTV Surveillance where we discussed the divide between policymakers & markets. I argued “buy the dip” works if things return to normal, but that Trump is trying to create a new normal.

Great to join @flacqua @BloombergTV. History will show Iran war was a mistake. Markets hope Trump seeks an offramp but Iran, Israel and others have a vote. More likely escalation than offramp. Congress abrogated its role which leaves no effective check. https://t.co/wj8BBKts5d

Please read @peterbakernyt on the death of the WaPo metro section, and why it matters so very much:

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

Much of the mourning for the late great @washingtonpost has rightly focused on how democracy dies in darkness at the national level, which is hugely important. But the evisceration of Metro coverage is every bit as devastating because there is no comparable news outlet keeping local governments and institutions honest.

Eight of my 20 years at the Post were spent on Metro, which was the heart and soul of the Post under the legendary @dongrahamdc1. The undertakers now running the paper have all but wiped out the metro staff, leaving just 12 reporters, according to reports, to cover a region of 6.5 million people.

We had twice that many journalists in Fairfax alone back in the day. And it mattered. Reporters are the eyes and ears of the community, keeping tabs on people in power. We were there for every supervisors meeting, every school board meeting. We pored through planning commission documents and campaign filings.

When county officials wasted taxpayer money, raised taxes on overstretched homeowners, gave sweetheart zoning deals to developers who filled their election coffers, we were there. When teachers who sexually abused students were quietly transferred to other schools to do it all over again, we were there.

We were there for the more uplifting stories too, the cops who broke a cold case, the educators who turned around a struggling school, the residents who rallied to help neighbors in trouble, the student athletes who won the big game, the entrepreneurs who started something new.

Our friend @SariHorwitz who has won more Pulitzers than I can count, wrote so movingly online about the Post (https://t.co/lxame7tiSF). To recognize how indispensable local coverage is, you need only look at her holy-shit investigations of a broken child welfare system, rampant police shootings and the corporate-fed opioid crisis, stories that opened eyes and led to change.

Democracy is not just what happens at the White House and the Capitol but in our own backyards. The Post has just turned the lights down at home too.

My @BrookingsInst note. I argue economic coercion is now a defining feature of U.S. strategy. The cost is confidence in U.S. predictability & institutions. Once confidence cracks, global realignment, esp. in a crisis, can change faster than most assume. https://t.co/bBdhdXshaq

After Trump tariffs on EU/UK countries who don’t support his Greenland efforts, I am reposting my & @heidirediker‘s @ForeignAffairs piece arguing that EU faces the crisis they always said they need to take needed economic reforms. Will they finally act? https://t.co/XxUoqwvi7Y

Me on @business Balance of Power w/@JMathieuReports. We covered doubts aroundTrump’s argument that lower rates means higher growth, global support for Powell, IEEPA tariffs & possibility that “tariff man” pulls back before midterms, & Trump-centric Davos. https://t.co/XAInto0piN

If Europe continues to eschew economic and financial reforms, “it will leave itself vulnerable to U.S. President Donald Trump and other foreign actors who seek to divide it,” warn @DougRediker and @heidirediker.

“The ‘day after’ problem in Venezuela is not only political. It is also contractual, litigious, and creditor driven.” @DougRediker on the economic opportunities—and challenges—after the U.S. operation in Venezuela: https://t.co/HhcTY8WwSS

Sharing this collection of short essays by Brookings colleagues on the global reverberations of Venezuela. In Asia, @patricia_m_kim and @DougRediker cover the China angle, Richard Bush addresses Taiwan, and @AndrewIYeo looks at North Korea's response. https://t.co/FRpG7nHHPE

My appearance on @Bloomberg Surveillance. Thanks to @FerroTV @annmarie & @lisaabramowicz1 for a great conversation covering American populism, rhetoric v. reality, authoritarian capitalism, and the midterms. My hit starts at 18:10.

[Doug Rediker @DougRediker]

My take here in @BrookingsInst quick takes on the global implications of the US military operation in Venezuela. I argue investors may think Venezuela’s terrible debt/GDP can be overcome by oil, but under-appreciate China’s role as spoiler. https://t.co/998aKUMtOP

[Foreign Affairs @ForeignAffairs]

Read @DougRediker and @heidirediker on the reforms “necessary to strengthen the European Union’s economic foundations and enable it to act as a global power”—and what the continent stands to lose if it fails to act collectively.
https://t.co/NXyLGhWnHT

[Foreign Affairs @ForeignAffairs]

Europe’s reluctance to undertake substantial economic and financial reforms is preventing it from shoring up its defenses and acting as a global power, argue @DougRediker and @heidirediker.

[Foreign Affairs @ForeignAffairs]

For years, European officials have been “effectively waiting for a crisis to force themselves to fix widely acknowledged problems,” write @DougRediker and @heidirediker. “Now, they risk doing something worse: wasting a crisis by failing to act as it unfolds.”
