On SocialNew York Times Opinion “In 2015 the hidden foreign wealth of rich Russians amounted to around 85 percent of Russia’s G.D.P.,” @paulkrugman writes. https://t.co/PfbklXr1Dc 24 February 2022
On SocialPaul Krugman Which is not to deny that even being a nerd at the Ivy League was hugely advantageous. In my own case, it meant having a direct pipeline into the economics old-boy (and I do mean boy) network centered at the time on MIT. So yes, I do consider my privilege 2/ 23 March 2021
On SocialPaul Krugman Wasn't quite ready to believe it until it actually happened. This is a big Bidening deal. 07 March 2021
On SocialPaul Krugman Something I don't think is reflected in news coverage: Biden's aggressive response to Covid has overwhelming approval — much higher than Obama's stimulus a dozen years ago 1/ https://t.co/RXzXcGeXp3 16 February 2021
On SocialPaul Krugman How to understand where we are now: America's right has always included a paranoid, conspiracist fringe — people who believed that Eisenhower was a Communist agent. But now the crazies make up 64% of the GOP. https://t.co/dNi8op7xKN 12 December 2020
On SocialPaul Krugman It's just possible that Georgia runoffs will give Dems 50 seats in the Senate, making Kamala Harris the deciding vote. I hope Georgia voters will understand just how much that matters https://t.co/STLZ8Kz70w 06 November 2020
On SocialPaul Krugman What a terrible election. As far as I can tell from the vote analysts, Biden is highly likely to pull this out — the outstanding votes in WI/MI/PA and, for different reasons, GA are likely to be very Democratic, he's probably won AZ and NV. But then what? 1/ 04 November 2020
On SocialPaul Krugman Wow. I knew RCP was a lousy average, but didn't know that they've been playing games with timing to Trumpify the results. Never cite them again. https://t.co/UlYk2kyxm6 03 November 2020
On SocialPaul Krugman I usually try to avoid political hot takes, bc what do I know? But I'm feeling both terrified and philosophical about the Barrett confirmation. Her chance to do immense harm will basically come *next week*. After that, she will be a GOP liability 1/ 27 October 2020
On SocialPaul Krugman Fascinating report, but I really object to saying that it "resembles a Shakespearean tragedy." A tragic hero is supposed to be a man of noble character undone by one tragic flaw. Trump is all flaws, no nobility https://t.co/oPZJps3rlG 03 October 2020
On SocialPaul Krugman Trump was never a great businessman, he just played one on TV, and his debts create terrifying incentives for malfeasance https://t.co/nOUD86FEJc 29 September 2020
On SocialPaul Krugman Health care is very much on the ballot, even more with RBG's passing https://t.co/AYhSNWthXq 22 September 2020
On SocialPaul Krugman I don't know if anyone else has said this, but payroll tax cuts are the hydroxychloroquine of economic policy. They won't do anything to solve the employment crisis, but will have dangerous side effects. Yet Trump remains obsessed with them as a cure 1/ 09 August 2020
On SocialPaul Krugman Funny how these things keep happening — scheduling a rally in Tulsa on Juneteenth, using a Nazi symbol in campaign ads. Why, it's almost as if the Trump campaign is full of white supremacists and fascists, who can't help themselves https://t.co/jFt6QAWYbP 19 June 2020
On SocialPaul Krugman So 117,700 Americans have died so far — and Trump is back to the what-me-worry claims he made at the beginning https://t.co/Vj60crhFit 18 June 2020
On SocialPaul Krugman And I have the feeling — which is all that it is — that suggesting that people inject themselves with disinfectant may in its own way be the comparable moment, when even the true believers run out of excuses 4/ 24 April 2020
On SocialPaul Krugman But Katrina somehow was the defining moment. Some of us had long understood Bush's inadequacy, but "Heckuva job, Brownie" as scenes of devastation played on TV broke through the denial 3/ 24 April 2020
On SocialPaul Krugman I could be wrong, but somehow the Lysol moment feels like it could be a psychological turning point — the moment when even a lot of Trump diehards face up to his essential unfitness 1/ 24 April 2020
On SocialPaul Krugman Silly question, I know, but have any of the right-wing pundits who ridiculed concerns about Covid-19 apologized, let alone done any soul-searching about why they were so wrong? Even one? 27 March 2020
On SocialPaul Krugman There's a silver lining to the mess in Iowa. It was always ridiculous to give so much power to a deeply unrepresentative state, with a deeply flawed process (who was it who called caucuses an "artisanal primary"?) But Iowa shaped media narratives 1/ 04 February 2020
Ask yourself something: are you willing to pay higher taxes and have less affordable health care so you can “own the libs” because that’s the price you’ll have to pay if the GOP agenda is enacted … you pay more, their cronies pay less.
I’m excited to join @ProChoiceCaucus as Freshman Leader! With Roe protections gone and Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida legislature passing one of the harshest abortion bans in the nation, my home state has been on the frontlines of the battle for reproductive freedom.
