Packer's story illustrates that governing is so often about finding the least bad choice rather than a good one but it still matters immensely.

I’m not sure anything is more important than restoring an American sense of mission and a powerful American example.

Best piece of journalism I have read this year. So sad what American has lost.
"The 20th century began in Sarajevo," argues George Packer. "Now the American century is over, and even Bosnia, which would not exist without the U.S., is slipping away." theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

The Task Force on Fiscal Policy for Health, co-chaired by @MikeBloomberg + @LHSummers, calls on countries to act now to raise taxes on tobacco, alcohol and sugary beverages and save lives. ow.ly/oKc850pzcWa pic.twitter.com/N4gGRVdNdB

One policy has the potential to save nearly 30M lives – today’s report from the Task Force on Fiscal Policy for Health shows that raising tobacco taxes could reduce more deaths from #NCDs than any other health policy, preventing 27M deaths over 50 years. bloombg.org/2P2MV8m pic.twitter.com/NFjg39758p

It makes @realDonaldTrump's tax returns or budget deficits or trade wars all seem rather ephemeral. That too makes me feel better. 6/6

Not sure there will be a practical consequence of imaging black holes. But it's nonetheless an immense achievement. Just as the first telescopic images of moons going @ planets or the first microscopic images of cells changed humanity’s self-conception, these images will too. 5/6

The image further confirmed what might be the greatest imaginative leap that any human has ever had -- Einstein’s theory of relativity and the associated ideas that gravity curves space, light does not travel straight and that acceleration can slow the pace of time. 4/6

This is a concentration of matter and energy so great that nothing could ever escape it. The effort required pooling together more data than had been produced in the history of humanity until not so many decades ago. 3/6

Looking across a distance of about 1 followed by 21 zeroes miles, at events that occurred more than 50 million years ago, scientists have been able to form an image of the universe’s weirdest object— #RealBlackHole . 2/6

At a difficult historical moment, something happened yesterday that has to make one more hopeful about the future. It is part of a story that continue to be told after @realDonaldTrump and Xi and Putin have been forgotten. 1/6 twitter.com/NSF/status/111…

I am not surprised but I am disappointed. @USTreasury has now embarked on an illegal path. A violation of the law with respect to a valid Ways and Means Cmt request, with respect to IRS independence and with respect to political direction from the @WhiteHouse.

Tax avoidance costs every family of four on the planet $400. Here @LHSummers suggests the @IMF should get a grip of the situation. Not the @OECD which usually leads in this domain..... #taxtwitter washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…

The IMF has shown leadership and courage in highlighting this issue and calling for major changes. It should be relied on going forward to drive the search for a new approach. The stakes go way beyond tax revenue to the political viability of a liberal, open global system.

The leaders of all major nations need to make a clear political commitment that highly profitable corporations should pay at least a base level, perhaps 15 percent of their reported profits, to governments around the world.
