In the last few days of Janet Yellen’s Treasury, my amazing team at the Office of Economic Policy published a retrospective on the U.S. recovery that unified much of our earlier work. But the Trump Treasury purged it. Here’s a Wayback Machine link: web.archive.org/web/20250117...

In the green room on CSPAN and this Republican is already talking about “teaching bears how to fish” to justify cutting people off of food assistance. The GOP coded guest is eating it up. And I just have to sit here off camera stewing.

Public comment genuinely matters. Courts will overturn rules based on an administration not responding to substantive comments.

Home Depot has the single worst on-line shopping experience, bar none. From their forced wait to use a password to sign on, to the constant narrowing of the visible screen, it’s an exercise in frustration. And the app is even worse! Thanks Bluesky, for letting me vent.

Don’t let them tell you boycotting companies that help Trump and DOGE doesn’t work: we took Tesla stock down from $480 to $355 when people stopped buying his cars. Boycott any companies affiliated with this cruel oligarchical regime!

If you are looking for someone to say that all is lost and the courts can't help protect democracy, you are following the wrong guy. If you are looking for someone who fights hard and will never give up, I'm here for you.

It is notable that Big Law is completely absent from the legal fights to protect democracy. In 2017, they bragged about their pro bono work for the resistance. Now, they are silent -presumably cowering in fear of Trump and Musk. Support the non-profit law orgs and small firms doing this hard work.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

New to the hypocrisy of Elon Musk? He has benefitted handsomely from federal spending. Examples: Tesla reported $10B+ in sales of environmental credits (since 2015). SpaceX has been paid more than $19B from federal contracts… www.cnbc.com/2024/11/07/h...
