I believe Larry David was not intending to roast, instead he was intending to help Bill Maher. This was a subtle way to show compassion as it could also have happened to him. Even worse (only the ending was satire). An elegant way for Maher to admit he was wrong. And the two comedians shake hands.

Should Rory finishes it on the 18th to clinch his first Masters, it reminds me of Federer beating Nadal in the Australian open final of 2017…#masters

During the Biden term and his industrial policies plus metal tariffs, most European industrial companies saw the US as the new place to be for manufacturing, vs their home Europe. Now most of these planned investments will be paused. And not only for 90 days, make it min. 5-10years, if any #tariffs

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

What a disaster for Le Pen and her party. I cannot see them spinning the ruling as a political witch hunt / becoming the martyr. French people are still believers of democracy and the rule of law. Even the uneducated and far right ones.

More important than anything else—including even defense spending and economic reform—EU leaders must broaden popular support. To withstand a semi-fascist revolution that Musk, Bannon, and others are promoting. More effectively than the Russians were ever able to do as the US elections have shown
