Oh look. So despite all the hand-wringing about Le Penn's sentence and the insistence that it would trigger great surges of public sympathy, hardly anyone came to her sadsack protest www.politico.eu/article/mari...

The purpose of these tariffs is to be able to lift them to those who bow down to him and sacrifice their dignity. That is what he did to the GOP, the billionaires, and is doing now to Big Law. Those who stand up will be punished, those who bend a knee and humiliate themselves will be rewarded.

We've been talking an awful lot about how the Trump tariffs will hit the big players: the UK, China, Canada, France, Germany etc But it's time to talk about the ones who DON'T have loud voices. Because some of the poorest countries in the world are going to be crippled by what happened last night

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

"In many cases the friend is worse than the foe" Trump says. If my friends were Elon Musk, JD Vance, Vladimir Putin and Nigel Farage, I’d probably feel the same way.

Musk has so much to say about German and French and British and Ukrainian and South African internal politics but never a word about China or Russia. Strange, right? 🤔 www.politico.eu/article/elon...

Spare me your 'this'll be great for the far-right actually' takes. It's the worst kind of liberal defeatism.

Honestly, Le Pen's sentencing has nothing to do with public opinion or political strategy ahead of the 2027 election. It's to do with upholding the rule of law in the face of enormous corruption, without which democracy cannot survive anyway.
