This round of budget cuts in Medicaid in the OBBB far exceeds any other cut the United States has made in its social safety net. Read my New York Times opinion piece: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/08/o...

This bill is more budget busting than big and beautiful. We helped balance the budget but Trump’s plan unbalances our finances and our country. Read my @nytopinion.nytimes.com piece with Bob Rubin. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/02/o...

Watch Friday’s Wall Street Week BloombergTV where I talk with David Westin about how inflation and unemployment are making the Fed’s job harder. We also discuss the economic fallout from conflict with Iran and the New York City mayoral race. www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/...

Institutions such as Harvard have vast financial resources, great prestige & broad networks of influential alumni. If they do not or cannot resist the arbitrary application of government power, who else can? Without acts of resistance, what protects the rule of law? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/o...

Opinion | Lawrence Summers: Harvard Must Not Yield to Trump

As with most confrontations, the merits in this clash are not one-sided. But the Trump administration is acting in bad faith.

While the Trump Administration is right in saying universities have been wrongly accepting of antisemitism, it should not obscure two central realities.

Trump's idea was to make America great again. Instead, the result in the quarter of President Trump taking office was the worst relative stock performance vs. Europe in the decades since they began collecting data. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I am profoundly saddened and alarmed by Columbia University and Paul Weiss law firm’s capitulation to the increasingly dictatorial Trump administration.

After the events of Friday in the Oval Office, I wonder if Treasury Secretary Bessent stands by his view that President Trump should receive a Nobel Prize for his efforts with respect to Russia & Ukraine. It might be the most absurd, offensive and sycophantic comment ever made by a Treasury Sec.

Trump’s tariffs are a bully strategy. Bullying doesn’t win over time on the playground or in the international arena. This self-inflicted supply shock is a strategic gift to Xi Jinping. 1/4

Aside from the general issues about Trump‘s tariff and his economic nationalism strategy, today’s actions against Canada and Mexico are inexplicable and dangerous. 1/8
