This is a truly great film, probably the best film I’ve seen in 2025 (it was released in France in 2024...). Boris Lojkine tackles the issue of immigration and its various layers of exploitation with realism and subtlety. Compelling and disturbing.

Great speech on the foundational role of the rule of law for Europe and the Euro
Rule of law is not the enemy of autonomy; it is its foundation. The EU can pursue its policy choices effectively because they are framed by legal commitments that others recognise and respect.

For reasons, checking in on foreign official holdings of US treasuries at the Fed. Now down $100 billion since 'Liberation day'. Note: That latest data point with the biggest weekly drop yet is from *before* Trump's attempted firing of the Fed governor.
Next release will be interesting (Thursday).
