The EU’s rationale is to balance out natural differences in economic, military and population size. No other international organization aims to increase the relative power and safeguard the sovereignty of small states in the same institutionally anchored way as the EU does.

"Dig deeper, and it turns out the EU’s trade nerds have stirred some unaccustomed creativity into their expert knowledge of obscure customs codes, while channeling a helping of passive aggression to inflict pain on Trump’s base."
”Finally, women’s negligées from Ohio and Kentucky, a fan favorite from the Commission’s first proposal, made the final cut; so did men’s undergarments, although they are mostly found in blue state.”
It sounds like DG Trade had a bit too much fun with this

The big bearish USA / bullish European trade in one stunning chart.
The March Bank of America Fund Manager Survey shows the largest monthly drop ever in US equity allocation - whilst investors are ploughing into European equities.

Just heard that Trump is putting an end to atmospheric monitoring site NY67 that is run out of my lab. This is one of the oldest NADP sites in the US, continually measuring acid rain and other pollutants since 1977. Closing it down is tragic.

In 2019, the National Park Service had a budget of $4 billion but generated over $30 billion in economic activity.
Firing federal workers and cutting public programs is going to end up costing us MORE, not less.

New data from the US Treasury reveals that federal spending was $603 billion in February, which is $36 billion HIGHER than February last year under Biden.
This suggests that DOGE has done nothing to cut spending.

Zajímavé, ale co se Trumpa týče, jsme tu pořád obávám se v tom našem malém (xenofobním) akváriu. Otázkou je, co se stane, pokud stihne do našich voleb vypálit ta svoje cla vůči EU; pak by se červené čepice mohly teoreticky vymstít i u nás.
New from me - is it possible we are actually at peak populism? This post is an exercise in working through a scenario - I may very well be wrong. But also, outside of America, I think something is shifting. Because of America. 1/n

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.”

Anyone can provide Ukraine with more drones. For example via these two Czech sites:

Or you can just helplessly watch what's happening there. Retweets help for sure.

The Russian-made Kalashnikov still prevails as the main small arm in Ukraine’s military. A Czech weapons giant is setting up shop in Ukraine’s factories to change that.

France and the UK, “some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 20 or 30 years.”
The UK lost 457 soldiers in Afghanistan, fighting alongside the US, and 179 soldiers in Iraq.
Hard to overstate what an insult this is to the Brits.
(Also wrong on FR obviously)
