Happy to participate with researchers, experts and policymakers in Frankfurt for the 13th ECB Conference on Forecasting Techniques. From big data to machine learning, they’ll discuss new methods, data and tools that shape how we forecast the economy. Financial Transaction "BigData" Global research Network (#FTGRN) host a very interesting session. Super Organization @miclenza and company !!

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: A federal judge just blocked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from cutting the number of vaccines recommended for children. 🔥 The court said what every pediatrician already knows: You don’t get to unilaterally remove childhood vaccine recommendations without scientific process, public comment, or legal authority. This is the same RFK Jr. who: — Has no medical degree — Was confirmed as HHS Secretary despite documented anti-vaccine activism — Is now in charge of the agency that recommends childhood vaccines The judge said no. The same week: — A federal judge blocked Trump’s subpoenas against Jerome Powell with “essentially zero evidence” of wrongdoing — Judge Boasberg blocked deportation flights — Courts are the last line holding The administration that sealed the Epstein files, hid wounded soldiers, launched a war without authorization, and used ChatGPT to cancel Holocaust education is now being stopped — court by court — from removing the vaccines that eliminated polio, measles, and whooping cough from American children. The judiciary is doing what Congress won’t. Never stop connecting the dots.

Go Europe! 👇👇👇👇👇👇

An amazing conference 👇👇👇👇👇

BREAKING: Germany’s government rejected Donald Trump’s demand that NATO allies help secure the Strait of Hormuz, saying the alliance has no role in the war. Stefan Kornelius, spokesperson for German Chancellor Friedrich Merz: “This war has nothing to do with NATO. It’s not NATO’s war. NATO is a defensive alliance, an alliance for the defense of its territory. I would also like to remind you that the U.S. and Israel did not consult us before the war, and that Washington explicitly stated at the start of the war that European assistance was neither necessary nor desired.”

Trump spent months calling NATO obsolete. Threatening Canada with the 51st state. Slapping tariffs on allies. Demanding Europe pay up or lose protection. Insulting world leaders to their faces. Abandoning Ukraine. Calling Germany weak and France irrelevant. Now he needs them. France: no. Germany: no. Norway: no. Canada: never. Japan: officially no. Switzerland: airspace closed. You don’t spend a year burning every bridge and then call for backup when the building is on fire. $21 billion spent. 14 Americans dead. Oil at $102. The Strait mined. Taiwan surrounded. Baghdad evacuated. NATO threatened with a “very bad future.” The allies didn’t abandon America. America spent a year telling them to leave. They listened. Never stop connecting the dots.

This incredible drone footage marks the end of the Orban era in Hungary. The opposition party TISZA gathered hundreds of thousands of Hungarians less than a month before the general election. HUNGARY WILL BE FREE!

Massive protests today in Budapest against Viktor Orban’s corrupt regime. The Kremlin- and Trump-backed autocrat is expected to lose power in next month’s election.

Dear @realDonaldTrump You threaten NATO, our allies. You never threaten Russia, who are supplying weapons to Iran that KILL AMERICAN SOLDIERS. You are a TRAITOR to the United States of America and an embarrassment to the world.

Dear @Bart_DeWever, Not long ago, when the Euroclear funds were being discussed, you stated that Russians had threatened you. It sounded quite ominous, so it did not seem as though they were threatening you with mere diplomatic measures. In common language, we call this blackmail. When carried out by a state, this can amount to state terrorism. You have given several strong speeches and interviews since then, calling for a strong Europe and similar principles. What you are now proposing, quite suddenly, is to hold negotiations with those who blackmailed you. Have they succeeded? Are you compromised? In that case, can you adequately represent Belgian interests? If not, what does history tell us about negotiating with terrorists? And about any – any –agreement that Putin has ever signed, and how it was honored afterward?

@glviolante @PrincetonEcon One of my intellectual heroes, this is so sad. R.I.P. Chris Sims

Heartbreaking news for all of us at @PrincetonEcon and for the whole economics community. R.I.P. Chris.

@RpsAgainstTrump I was not surprised

German Chancellor Merz: Six out of seven G7 countries were clearly of the opinion that sanctions against Russia should not be lifted. We were somewhat surprised to hear this morning that the American government had decided differently.

Trump saved Putin. This war is a geopolitical catastrophe for Europe. It took some people more than a week to see it, and others are still trying very hard not to look.

🇪🇺 EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says the quiet part out loud: Washington is not trying to manage Europe. It is trying to dissolve it. “They do not like the European Union,” she told the Financial Times. The tactics, she adds, resemble those used by the EU’s adversaries. The answer is not bilateral deals with Trump. It is unity. Because when Europe stands together, it is an equal power. And that is exactly what Washington cannot stand. Gandalv @Microinteracti1

🚨🚨The Son-in-Law Intelligence Briefing Donald Trump has revealed that his primary source on Iranian intentions was Jared Kushner. Not the CIA. Not the NSA. Not the Director of National Intelligence. His son-in-law. “Based on what Jared told me, I thought Iran would attack us,” Trump said. Normal presidents have national security councils, intelligence briefings, career analysts who spend their lives tracking adversary capabilities. Trump has family. This is how a nuclear-armed superpower decided to go to war. The world economy now runs on Kushner’s gut feeling. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

Maybe we should start to look into all these decisions. They are so obviously wrong, who is behind them?
