Lol from a democrat
I am saddened to learn of the passing of former Vice President Dick Cheney. Vice President Cheney was a devoted public servant, from the halls of Congress to many positions of leadership in multiple presidential administrations. His passing marks the loss of a figure who, with a

White House defends tariffs as a way of ending conflicts, ahead of US SC decision
.@PressSec: "We are 100% confident in the President and his team's legal arguments... and we remain optimistic that the Supreme Court is going to do the right thing. The importance of this case cannot be overstated—@POTUS MUST have the emergency authority to utilize tariffs."

Of course this is total nonsense
Elon Musk: "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland, Ireland, are living their lives quietly [Like The Hobbits in The Shire] — until one day, a thousand people show up in your village of 500 out of nowhere and start r*ping the kids." https://t.co/iPNQosh0wH

What's striking is Mamdani's program is quite modest on the whole, especially in comparison to what both Democrats and mayors of NYC did in the past, and yet draws so much hostility from right-wing Democrats
Abigail Spanberger takes a swipe at Mamdani, saying "maybe he should be a Democrat" and that his campaign promises are dishonest.

Great work from the @Reuters enterprise team: 'Inside Ukraine's drone campaign to blitz Russia’s energy industry' -

Today comes a reminder that other parts of US trade policy - not just Trump's unilateral tariffs - also need reform (and that the US has never been a free trade angel). Coming soon: 107% antidumping duties on Italian pasta https://t.co/aMvuAejjYR

A fine example of the erratic insanity of Trump's 'emergency' tariffs - and their real costs for American businesses https://t.co/8zVJMYHZ7t

The American president said that without tariffs to protect itself, the U.S. "could be reduced to almost Third World status." Think about what that says about the state of U.S. competitiveness...

The more I listen to Bessent, the more delusional he sounds. In the same breath he says it took China "25-30 years" to dominate rare earths (and remember, this is at China speed, incomparably faster than anywhere else) but that the U.S. can somehow break it in "1-2 years". As I
The grumpy old men at The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board think China’s rare earth restrictions were a surprise. China has been planning this for 30 years while the U.S. was asleep at the switch. We’re wide awake now, rallying our allies and de-risking global supply

Not quite sure what to make of this but I’ll take it for now.
I just spoke to President Trump, and we agree — the relationship between the United States and China has never been better. Following President Trump’s historic meeting with Chairman Xi in South Korea, I had an equally positive meeting with my counterpart, China’s Minister of

As usual, it's "Tariffs for thee, but not for me."
"While Pacific Steel Group depends on and is very supportive of the imposition of Section 232 steel tariffs, it has substantially raised the cost of bringing this equipment back into the United States to produce domestic steel." https://t.co/jDdHklAenO

I was actually wrong in my post below on the new tariffs on China after the Trump-Xi deal, because it looks like Trump lied with his "47% overall tariffs" figure. The White House factsheet that was just released confirms that the "reciprocal tariff" (i.e. meaning the "Liberation
Perhaps unsurprisingly, I haven’t seen many media outlets report accurately on the “deal” reached between Trump and Xi today, most forgetting to mention crucial aspects of it and almost all failing to contextualize the “47%” tariff figure quoted by Trump. Let me try to detail
