The absolute callousness of announcing a 44% trade tariff against Myanmar this week, of all weeks.

Yup. It feels cruel to deny deluded Brexiters their tiny sliver of a ‘win’ but, on the other hand, fuck ‘em. Weakening a country *before* an attack like this is an act of obvious treachery. We would, by any measure, be better off *in* the the EU *with* the 20% basic tariff rate.

The universal tariffs announced by the US are a major blow to businesses and consumers worldwide. Europe is prepared to respond. We'll always protect our interests and values. We're also ready to engage. And to go from confrontation to negotiation. Full statement → europa.eu/!mHxFMh

"Unicef states that on average “a woman menstruates for about 7 years during their lifetime.” This fact is what really made it hit home for me. 7 years of unpleasantness is a really long time, and depending on the person, the symptoms can be quite severe."

We said it campaigning for Gore in 2000, Kerry in 2004, Clinton in 2016, Harris in 2024. It didn't make a difference. But appointing federal judges may be the most important thing a president and Senate do. Even if the Dem candidate is not perfect, their judges will protect America for 40 years.

Brexiters crowing about being hit with a 10% Trump tariff, rather than 20%. Ffs. Brexit costs us far more than 10% on goods to the US. Every day. We now have *both* to contend with, without the leverage of a powerful bloc. A crappy deal won’t save us. Please just STFU you stupid, stupid bastards.

The suffering that will be unleashed on Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos is horrific. And that's not because they have "raped" America. It's because they're poor, they can't afford many US goods but they can become wealthier by exporting to rich countries.

Bit of analysis from me. Tariffs are on a scale that will be *devastating* for some economies, while for the US, corrosive uncertainty - far from over after tonight - makes a Trumpcession look more likely than a “golden age”: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
