It may seem counterintuitive to issue more debt during a crisis. But in a world where US economic policy is unpredictable, safe asset diversification suddenly has value. And the EU’s best response to US tariffs is to issue more debt.

More EU debt issuance would be the best response to Trump’s tariffs
The European Union should think strategically and seize the opportunity to fill the void created by Trump

On 28 June, Budapest Pride will march. Orbán says he will stop it. We say, just try

To every democratic leader, activist & ally in Europe: join us. Let’s show together that the streets of a European capital will not surrender to fear

My latest in The Guardian👇

Viktor Orbán’s latest clampdown bans Budapest Pride – but he won’t stop us marching
Elected leaders from across Europe should join us on the streets. It is critical to democracy – in Hungary, and the EU as a whole, says Hungarian national assembly member Katalin Cseh

Such an important call by @katalincseh.bsky.social to respond to Orban’s hideous Pride ban👇

Please share it widely & write your representatives. Also: no one from the @ec.europa.eu has offered more than deep concerns so far

I've been browsing the 'Posts' tab of this pack quite a bit lately — it might come in handy. It's by no means exhaustive, but as a bonus: it's gender balanced.

Business leaders are fretting. CEO confidence is at its lowest level since 2020, (NYT DealBook).
Of the 329 CEOs surveyed:
‼️76% see the tariffs adversely affecting their business;
‼️26% plan to increase capex spending, down from 37 percent in the March survey;
‼️62% forecast a slowdown or recession.

The EU must stand firm & enforce the law, the Digital Markets Act, #DMA, competition rules. Actually, it is time to think about an independent EU enforcement agency.
@monika-schnitzer.com & I wrote a piece on DMA enforcement - now available in the SCIDA-blog!

This is no big deal: Europe must stand strong on Big Tech - SCiDA
The EU must enforce its DMA cases with vigour - and with an independent agency, argue Monika Schnitzer & Rupprecht Podszun.

Trumps #Zollpolitik zeigt ganz klar: Die USA unter Trump sind kein verlässlicher Partner mehr. Sie haben sich aus dem Bündnis des regelbasierten Welthandels herausgelöst. 🇩🇪 & Europa & seine Partner müssen deswegen umso mehr zusammenstehen und dagegenhalten. Der Gegenwind für Trump wird stärker.

I used to select Dem primary candidates based on policy.

Now I will aggressively try to destroy any Dem who says "we need to look forward not backward" and fervently support anyone who says "I will see these motherfuckers prosecuted and jailed if it's the last thing I do."
