A point not made enough: the UK runs a trade goods deficit with the US so shouldn’t be paying any tariffs at all based on the White House formula (10% is not a “win”).

Entirely agree with The BMJ on this one. (Even though they are the competition.) Again, see @nature.com 3rd March paper on the impact of the Western diet in pregnancy. Health first. Lobbyists second.

🧵Carl Sagan wasn't religious, but he was prophetic. Working together, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, and countless aids built the greatest diplomatic and economic structure the world has ever seen. This enraged religious fundamentalists. Carl Sagan saw them coming.

Why do authoritarians hate science? Because an evidence-based approach to anything is anathema to them. And they hate questions.

As retaliation for the Tariffs we will now be showing any American made TV show without the last five minutes. Good luck finding out how Frasier got out of that one.

More attacks in Universities. Rumours that Trump set to hack at Brown’s funds because they had the temerity to stand up for academic freedom.

Sen. Tillis (R-N.C.) says he’s inclined to support the Grassley-Cantwell bill. Says he’s heard from constituents worried about the tariffs, esp farmers & restaurant/lodging sectors. Everyone in red states :: call your reps!!

A “coding error” ? Seriously?

If a deranged president intentionally destroying the country's economy with a ludicrous obsession (and misunderstanding) of tariffs isn't justification for invoking the 25th Amendment, I honestly can't imagine any scenario that would be.

Today is an object lesson in the radicalisation of the British right-wing press. Britain is being disparaged and insulted by a foreign far-right conspiracy theorist. But the Mail, the Express, the Telegraph and even the Times choose focus their criticisism on the British prime minister instead.
