1/ Trump signed 50% tariffs on Canada today under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930. Worth walking through the legal mechanics, the USMCA leverage play behind it, and what it costs.
The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.
This business of being ruled by dead white males is becoming disturbingly literal.
Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting
At the Reflecting Pool, and guys, this doesn’t look right.

In the US, social-democratic policies have routinely been decried as "socialist." So, when Americans say that they rate socialism highly, maybe many of them actually refer to Social Democracy?
G Elliott Morris@gelliottmorris.com · 2mo agoA new poll from the New York Times shows potential Democratic voters want the party to move to the right, are happy with where it is ideologically, and rate socialism highly. Huh? www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-06-12...
How is SpaceX planning to physically maintain the space-based data centers? Will they have to fly up astronauts? Or, do they believe the centers to be so reliable so as not to require maintenance?
To the extent "Gen Z" thinks this — and such broad generalizations are often dubious — it partially reflects a relentless and misleading media narrative that in recent years has ignored the actual data here.

More evidence of wage growth decelerating emerging today, from @atlantafed.org. Within-worker, over-the-year median wage growth rate decelerated to 3.6% in April from 3.9% in March. Consistent with evidence from aggregate average hourly wage change from employer survey in #JobsReport.
It’s very rare to have anticorruption institutions strong enough to hit so close to political power so decisively. In Mani Pulite, Italy’s legendary anticorruption campaign, the biggest fish—Giulio Andreotti and Bettino Craxi— never saw the inside of a jail cell!

Hmm. Up front concessions / 'entry fee' before starting talks? Let me remind the capitulationists: 1--you don't make concessions to an unreliable counterparty. 2--I am the wallet inspector; please make donation via DM 3--I would enjoy playing poker with you. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

The returns to a US college education are still high, with an average wage premium of 55% over high-school-only. But they have fallen for the last three years, and they're 13% smaller (8.3 percentage points) compared to the all-time peak in 2016. Data from @epi.org —> data.epi.org/wage_gaps/ho...

In den letzten Wochen hab ich ein paar #Retrotrikots aus 1995/96 präsentiert. Ich überlegte das nochmal mit einer anderen Saison zu machen, aber dann dachte ich an die Trikots, die vergessen werden. Und die teils wirklich absurd sind! Daher: Die Top 40 schrägsten BuLi-Torwarttrikots der 90er: 1/14

Schwaches Spiel, aber defensiv gut. Mit Theate and Kristensen kam mehr Wucht von hintenraus, ob über lange Schläge a la Theate oder die Laeufe von Kristensen. Da wird das dann halt berechenbar vorne Und, es fehlen halt noch einige Offensiven. #SGE

Education policy doesn’t always require sweeping reforms. Getting the basics right—retaining strong teachers, adopting high-quality curricula, and ensuring students have sufficient time in school—can go a long way.
