We may all have more time for reading. If so, check out my book with Sheryl
@WuDunn, "Tightrope," about underlying US problems, told through the kids on my old No. 6 school bus.@TaraWestover said it was "One of the most important books I've read on the state of our disunion."pic.twitter.com/8kgpcmNxgh

“I would hope that if any of us came across a single hungry child, we would pause and immediately offer help. But collectively we stroll by 12 million desperate children without stopping.” https://buff.ly/39BXFFi - a beautiful paean to hope, via

Agree with
@NickKristof about child allowances - in Biden's plan as refundable child tax credit, that could cut child poverty in half: "In the long run, this would do more to advance American equality, opportunity and decency than almost anything else."https://twitter.com/NickKristof/status/1350531650598408194 …Thanks.

"Americans are less likely to graduate from high school, more likely to die young, less safe from violence & less able to drink clean water than citizens in many other advanced countries ... Covid-19 magnified these disparities." -

"So we think of the United States as No. 1, but America ranks No. 28 worldwide in well-being of citizens, according to the Social Progress Index. And the United States is one of only three countries to have gone backward since the index began in 2011" -

So that's why I look at Biden's America Rescue Plan, at this first serious plan in half a century to confront child poverty and think maybe Biden is becoming...Rooseveltian. My column: https://nyti.ms/35MEjME Please read, and I welcome your thoughts.

FDR tackled a national crisis in ways that addressed larger problems, thus setting the stage for 35 years of inclusive post-war growth. Biden is similarly trying to address not just the front-burner crisis but also back-burner crises like child poverty that hold America back

Likewise, Michigan initially had a Black death rate from Covid 3X that of whites. Then Michigan tackled the inequity and the Black death rate from the virus is now lower than for whites. In other words, race gaps and child poverty are our choice; they're not a given.

Too often we think that child poverty or race gaps are inevitable. They're not. Tony Blair cut British child poverty in half, using child allowances, basically the same strategy as Biden proposes. What we lack isn't resources or methods, but will.

The most exciting part of
@JoeBiden's "America Rescue Plan" may be one that gets little attention: It's the most serious effort to reduce child poverty in at least 50 years. It would cut America's disgraceful levels of child poverty by half. My column:https://nyti.ms/35MEjMEShow this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

The death penalty is fundamentally a poor person’s issue. Over nearly 40 years of visiting death row facilities across the United States, I have never met a single person with money or resources. Capital punishment means “those without the capital get the punishment.”

Interesting essay by
@VictorDCha about the risks faced by North Korea, and posed by North Korea to the Biden administration. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/15/why-north-korea-could-become-one-bidens-biggest-challenges/?tid=ss_tw … I agree that North Korea will vault this year back to the front burner.Thanks.

Hmm. North Korea now has more nukes than ever. Iran is closer to nukes than when Trump took office. Saudi Arabia murdered a Wash Post columnist. China is more aggressive. Pompeo can't get a meeting with Luxembourg's foreign minister. Maybe the GOP should stay quiet for a while?https://twitter.com/NikkiHaley/status/1350225555648634886 …
