    On July 1st I’ll be starting as a Senior Fellow at the Center for Business and Government at the Harvard Kennedy School. I’ll be writing (a book, and my column), teaching and probably stealing ’s stapler.

    Amen! Also B117 will become the dominant strain. No one had that in their baseline forecasts.

    My thoughts on why the 2021 upbeat baseline global economic outlook may be getting ahead of itself.

    Some officers at the Capitol on Wednesday parted barricades. Others held doors open. It was a far cry from the response to Black Lives Matter protests. “It’s a glaring example of how unjust this system really is,” said one activist.

    Whatever you do today, please don't share the video below of the Trump crime family and his Chief of Staff gleefully partying from their secure bunker while the rioters they unleashed attack the symbol of our democracy. That would not be nice.

    I haven’t been so lost in my twitter feed, unable to keep up (or really get anything else done), since 2010 when Greece was imploding. Apologies to my editor, this column might be a few hours late...

    In case you weren’t feeling glum enough already today…

    ⚠️CRUSH VIRUS NOW OR ELSE WE ARE SCREWED: Denmark’s CDC thinks new B117 variant is so much more contagious (R +0.4 to +0.7) & inevitable that **if any country does not crush the R<0.7 now**, we will be completely screwed by Feb/March.🧵

    While today’s terrible display of terror and meanness shakes us, let’s remember: , Jewish son of an immigrant & , first Black Senator from Georgia, will join a Catholic POTUS & the first woman, Black + Indian VP in our nation’s capital. God bless America.

    Δύο όψεις της Αμερικής: "η υπόσχεση μίας πολύχρωμης, ανοιχτής κοινωνίας, που αντλεί ισχύ από την διαφορετικότητα· και το έρεβος μίας συρρικνούμενης λευκής πλειοψηφίας, βυθισμένης στην οικονομική απόγνωση... αναζητώντας αποδιοπομπαίους τράγους..."

    This is not the guy you want to have the nuclear codes.

    Twitter turns off retweets for Trump's speech 'due to a risk of violence'. That's where we are.

    When order is restored, the president needs to be impeached and convicted immediately. Right way to signal we are a nation of law. Vote should be unanimous if those in power support American democracy.
