If you’re not watching Trump’s UN speech, we can sum it up for you:

“Sickening. Shameful. And in the end, useless.”

The Kyiv Independent is not holding back in its new editorial.
Editorial: That meeting was sickening. Putin loved it
Sickening. Shameful. And in the end, useless. Those were the words that came to mind when we watched the Alaska Summit unfold. On our screens, a blood-soaked dictator and war criminal received a roy...

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social - can you and Rory put a trigger warning next time you discuss snacks on TRIP? Haven’t had a chocolate Digestive in years but after hearing you talk about them on the last episode I immediately bought a packet and ate the lot! My diabetes thanks you!

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

Just like our icebergs, the US economy is mostly a submerging market.

A meme of the infamous meeting in the Oval Office with Zelensky as Trump and Vance dismissively put their hands up to him. But he has been replaced with a penguin to mock Trump’s tariff against uninhabited islands, home to only penguins.

WTF is Trump on? The only things he can tariff on on the Heard and McDonald Islands are penguins! 😂😂😂

Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands.

The Heard and McDonald Islands are uninhabited.

I’m no economist but even I know this is complete insanity and nonsense.

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country

"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."
Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.
