Trump says he's putting a 50% tariff on Europe in a week. The stock market had recovered too much from the last time Trump tanked it. It gave Trump the opportunity to fulfill his narcissistic needs again by blowing stuff up. Republicans in Congress keep allowing and emboldening this insanity.

@paulnowaktuc.bsky.social @unitesharon.bsky.social All that money, members allowed to be paid into the Labour Party & direct to individual MPs... Do you ever think they stole it, while serving the interests of richer men? We helped pay for Labour policies, not more hate & poverty. Help us!

The value of Simon Jenkins is that whatever topic he picks he is 100% certain to be wrong on. Whether this is a service a newspaper should pay for is, however, questionable.

I’m just checking for Chris Mason’s many pieces about it being unfair for the Tories to blame the last Labour government from 2011-2024 but all I can find is him blowing their ego about how great that was www.bbc.com/news/article...

Many falsehoods here from this Brexit advocate: the e gates are not only for business travellers; Erasmus is not just for "top graduates"; and the last election was won by...a party that promised a reset in relations with the EU.

Two thoughts on this 1. Harvard is being targetted because it resisted. Which also shows, conversely, that resisting is effective - so long as critical mass resist 2. This is both chaotic and a defined part of an authoritarian playbook. Project 2025 was, and is, real. Always was

Universities are always one of the first targets for fascist regimes, so - alarming and depressing as it may be - this escalation against Harvard, which has very publicly stood up to the regime, should come as no surprise.

Totally making up nonsense, completely ahistorical reasons to exclude the Fed. Wizards in Robes doing authoritarian alchemy. Other, more serious countries have actual constitutional courts, so they get to live under the rule of law & be actual democracies.

This bespoke exception for the Fed is one of the most brazenly made-up things I've ever seen the Supreme Court do (which is saying something). There is no principled basis to distinguish the Fed from other independent agencies. The conservative justices just don't want Trump to crash the market!

BREAKING: The Supreme Court’s conservatives allow Trump’s firing of members of multi-member boards to remain in effect during litigation, effectively overruling a 90-year-old precedent. The liberal justices, in an opinion by Kagan, dissents. More to come: www.lawdork.com
