Headlines in US a couple weeks ago:
👉 Republican divide over Big Beautiful Bill
👉 Economy suffering
👉 Tariff disaster

Headlines in US now:
👉 Immigration (most Republicans aligned on)
👉 LA/California protests (most Republicans hate)

It's cruel, unjust, racist - it's also successful agenda setting.

Tariffs: loved by few, felt by all.

In this episode of Trade Off, I got to sit down with a couple of experts on tariffs and their impact.

The goal? Help you decode the current deluge of tariff headlines.

Respect for those MEPs who stood up for democracy and dialogue, helping defeat the Trump-style anti-LIFE motion.

Especially those from @eppgroup.bsky.social who chose to put their values and commitment to democracy ahead of party games.

Watching interviews of bemused academics who study Stoicism talking about the rise of Broicism.

Can't imagine what it's like have some red pilled, supplement-hawking, manosphere YouTuber tell you don't understand a topic you spent your life studying because he listened to a Tim Ferris podcast.

If you live in Brussels, you'll know that road safety is a serious issue.

Recommend following the urbanists, neighbours, activists and all other Brussels citizens of @heroesforzero.bsky.social (and even join your local chapter, like I did!) 👇
Depuis début 2024, toutes les collisions graves et mortelles à #Bruxelles impliquent des trams et des camions !
🔴 57% trams
🔴 43% camions

Ces chiffres montrent une réalité alarmante dans nos rues. Les solutions existent, la #visionzero est essentielle !

(chiffres sans collisions non médiatisées)
