Trump has invited Putin to the Miami G20 summit. Should he also invite Zelensky?
Not entirely surprising that Trump 🇺🇸 has invited Putin 🇷🇺 to the G20 summit in Miami. I think European G20 members should make their participation in the meeting conditional on Trump inviting also Zelenskyy 🇺🇦 as a guest.

Thread on the consequences of capitalism...
"Capitalism is why people have to work" is very silly thing to say, but it's part of a grand tradition of blaming literally everything, no matter how absurd, on capitalism. A short thread:

Single parents enter the work force and the poverty rates drop.
Highlights from my testimony at a Ways & Means subcommittee hearing yesterday on the 30th anniversary of welfare reform. This finding from Corinth & Burkhauser is something: if the entire safety net disappeared tomorrow, there would still be less child poverty than in 1993

Peace Through Strength. Congratulations, Roger.
Peace through strength has been a guiding principle of my work for years. I wanted to dig deeper into where that idea came from and how President Reagan put it into practice. My new book, "Peace Through Strength: How Reagan’s Military Buildup Won the Cold War", tells the story of Reagan’s historic military buildup, the strategy behind it, and how American strength helped bring the Cold War to a peaceful end. It also looks at what that history can teach us about deterrence and American strength today. The book comes out November 17 and is available for pre-order now.
