My latest for @washingtonpost on the direct line between a weakened Congress and the economic pain many American's are facing today:
Food and gas are more expensive, while billions have been routed overseas. Turns out tariff chaos and has ripple effects.

.@tphealy's latest in @TheAtlantic on @TKCOfficial quietly removing Joel Shapiro's "Blue" — no reason given, just a request. An understated piece on what disappears from a city full of monuments, and who decides.
Worth a read, though I'm slightly biased! theatlantic.com/culture/2026…
It’s long past time for voters to choose their representatives in congress vs members choosing their voters! That’s the definition of democracy.

Miami airport. No lines at TSA. ; yet 30-40 minute wait to enter Admirals club.
AA sold too many memberships!
Great to join @AliVelshi alongside @MitchLandrieu to discuss how Trump's freezing of infrastructure projects across the nation hurts everyone.
Infrastructure takes steadiness, resolve, a lot of money, and it makes all of us more productive. Watch below:

Looking forward to joining @MitchLandrieu on @VelshiMSNOW with @velshi this morning to talk the latest on trade, manufacturing and infrastructure. Tune in at 10:45AM ET.
Nearly 70% of US adults recently said that the central promise of the American Dream—that hard work can earn a good life—is no longer true or never was.
My latest in the @latimes proposes one innovative solution utilizing a lesser known @SBAgov program. latimes.com/opinion/story/20…
I’ll be speaking with Ali Velshi on Sunday July 27th at 11:40am on trade and tariffs and what it means for you. Join us!

Strategic alliances with U.S. partners in Asia are key to global stability—and Japan is at the forefront. We welcomed H.E. Shigeo Yamada, Ambassador of Japan to the U.S., for a Global Dialogue Dinner on diplomacy, regional security & economic resilience. Thank you to @JapanEmbDC for this important dialogue, and to our distinguished guests from the public and private sectors for joining the discussion.

.@realDonaldTrump tariffs won't make America great. When we build bridges to our allies–not walls–everyone stands to benefit. My latest in @FortuneMagazine on the strategic advantages of free trade.
Take a read, @elonmusk. You might learn something. fortune.com/2025/03/17/tarif…
Mourning my good friend Ratan Tata who passed away today. I admired him greatly—brilliant, kind, and publicly spirited.
We last communicated in July when we both looked forward to a time to get together again. So I’m particularly sad today. #TataGroup
My latest in @TheHillOpinion: as we enter a new phase of great power competition, in which democracy is under threat in many regions, we need to supercharge our cultural diplomacy efforts. We need to find a way to coordinate our influence outside the traditional venues.

Thrilled and humbled to share that my mother Lillian Vernon's yellow Formica kitchen table, from which she started her iconic catalog business, is now on display at the @amhistorymuseum alongside artifacts from another groundbreaking entrepreneur, advertising legend Byron Lewis. – at Washington, DC

A robust exchange of ideas!
Hosted students from @Harvard & @UChicago at India House for an engaging discussion on 🇮🇳’s developmental priorities, ambitious goals for green & sustainable growth, and vibrant 🇮🇳🇺🇸 partnership.
Thank you @FredHochberg for moderating.
As the world realigns in the post-Cold War era, our cultural influence is a key factor that will help to determine whether we can build a new int’l system aligned with American interests. We need to use every resource we can to give our soft power a boost.

Having been a trustee since 2017, I have had a front-row seat to witness the excellent work that @MeridianIntl has done in finding common ground with countries around the world while strengthening America's role in global diplomacy.
Meridian has also elected 3 new Trustees:
🤝Steve Hilton, VP/Head of Global Government Relations, @Cargill
🤝Katherine Rice, Partner, Gingerbread Capital
🤝Mauricio Ramos, CEO, @Millicom
We look forward to collaborating on #GlobalLeadership, #Diplomacy & #Culture together.
I want to thank the board for electing me as their new Chair and am honored to succeed @AnnStock1 and thank her for her many years of friendship and invaluable service to Meridian. We have much work to do!
.@RonDeSantisFL's feud with @Disney: bad for Florida, bad for our economy, bad for America. My latest in the @MiamiHerald on the toll his culture war is having on investment decisions of companies foreign and domestic. miamiherald.com/opinion/op-e…
When a fundamental–or transformative–bill needs to get passed and leadership dithers, the discharge petition is there to make it happen.
I recall well in 2015 when it was used to unjam @EXIMBankUS when I was Chair. It can work again now as well.
