Like everyone else, I'm highlighting the best of my 2018 writing before 2019. The highlight: I wrote about Bill Clinton & Brett Kavanaugh, saying, "What goes around comes around." A few days later he uses the phrase in his angry Congressional testimony.https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2018/09/24/the-staggering-hypocrisy-of-brett-kavanaugh/?utm_term=.5a0e58ae6ba6 …

My latest: "Enabling age discrimination is both a moral embarrassment and an ongoing personal finance catastrophe. Perhaps the new Congress, where Democrats now control the House, can finally move to restore legal protections for older workers."https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/01/03/age-discrimination-is-more-common-than-you-think-why-arent-we-doing-anything-about-it/?utm_term=.b4b922db0ca5 …

@HelaineOlen notes that age discrimination is widespread. Why aren’t we doing anything about it? https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/01/03/age-discrimination-is-more-common-than-you-think-why-arent-we-doing-anything-about-it/?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.929dd8f6645f … One suggestion: change the law so folks aren't kicked out the door at 65:https://brook.gs/2PIyZz1Thanks.

It's like a modern update of a Nathaniel Hawthorne novel when a political party led by a sexual harasser goes after women for dancing and cursing.

Actually lots of impact. Higher income taxes for top earners means more revenue which means more government services.https://twitter.com/simonmaloy/status/1081260910256238592 …

On day of blockbuster BLS jobs report,
@helaineolen reminds us of a long-run structural problem in job market: Age discrimination in employment is hurting older workers' chances of staying in job market.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/01/03/age-discrimination-is-more-common-than-you-think-why-arent-we-doing-anything-about-it/?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.818e3a3a6eea …Show this threadThanks.

Let's be honest: Nancy Pelosi's hot pink dress is great. But discussion of it should be relegated to the Styles section.

In the spirit of how Congress is changing today, I wrote an article for
@cogwbur@wbur about Elizabeth Warren's 2020 campaign, her interest in multiracial wealth redistribution, and why this makes Warren one of the most qualified presidential contenders.https://www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/2019/01/03/the-case-for-president-elizabeth-warren-2020-miles-howard …Thanks.

Very proud of my 15-year-old son. He watched 20 minutes of Tidying Up with Marie Kondo with me. When the husband whined about how his wife won't do the laundry, he yelled at the screen, "Why don't you do the laundry, you [word deleted]?"

I'll vote for the politician who does an Instagram from their kitchen where they burn the food and talk about how much they love Peg Bracken's The I Hate to Cook Book.
