My Op-ed in the Boston Globe today. We need to invest wisely - not on symbols but on systems: urban systems, climate change infrastructure, low carbon energy systems.
This is a member of Congress who danced in college and recently called for a change in tax policy based on the work of leading economists. Washington considers her a flaky nitwit 2/
@SpeakerRyan You are a fake. A sham. Completely ineffectual and a sycophant of epic proportions. In obsequiously enabling the greatest threat to democracy our political system has had to endure, the Trump presidency, you demonstrated your lack of character and morals.
This is a good discussion of AOC's call for a top tax rate of 70-80%. Tl; dr: she's actually saying what top public finance economists have been saying for some time. Not at all outlandish. 1/ https://t.co/Uw1Sd5NUdi
A great new House membership with more women than ever before! - Still woefully underrepresented. BUT what about the FACT that there are now 89 women Democrats, up from 16 in 1989, and only 13 Republican women, NO CHANGE SINCE 1989!
“The review of Trump’s life is only beginning now. It will probably tell us that Trump is not merely a politician who has abused his power, or a businessman who has cut corners. He is a criminal who happened to be elected president.”
The @realDonaldTrump rogue regime has already demonstrated that short term gains override any interest in protecting America’s wild lands, waterways, and biodiversity. It’s all about money.
When you push reckless policies that squander our resources, defy our values, leave 800,000 federal workers unpaid and millions of Americans without needed services, you don’t need to declare a national emergency.
You are the national emergency.
@realDonaldTrump Our President is a liar and a cheat, and a prime example of the disgrace of avoiding military service by the wealthy. He has no moral authority to tweet on Memorial Day, especially a disgusting tweet like the one above. Self congratulate much? SAD.
The Trump administration has the money to fly Scott Pruitt first class, but not enough for renewable energy or climate change research? https://t.co/eU3wB67NTd
