Fascinating data. There are three things here that really matter to people, and they think matter to everyone: Healthcare Economy Prices There is ONE thing that they assume matters to everyone, because it dominates so much of the narrative, but it is NOT affecting them personally: Immigration

In his zeal to make the US the “crypto capital of the world,” Donald Trump is setting the stage for financial and monetary chaos – and, potentially, the loss of America’s “exorbitant privilege.” Read more in a PS Big Picture, with @helene-rey.bsky.social, Yanis Varoufakis, and others. bit.ly/4ouKImi

Having watched Trump in Hannity Fox interview, it seems beyond clear that Putin’s reflexive control is strong, and as a result we are likely to see effort to end or severely limit mail/early voting, even for 2026 midterms, greatly benefiting GOP (which Putin also knows)

Belle session sur un sujet capital. #RencontreseconomiquesAix.

Fabulous programme for the #EEA25Bordeaux Congress thanks to our great programme chairs @abicadams and @johannesmboehm and the entire scientific committee. Thanks a lot to all. And this is the #EEA40thAnniversary ! Join us in Bordeaux! eea2025.org/eea-scientif...

The plunder of our seas by industrial fishing is a monstrosity in which almost everyone unwittingly collaborates. For decades this truth has been deliberately hidden from us. Now at last the consensus is cracking. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Very good to see that they wish to focus on early career researchers. Much more mobile and thus likely to be willing to brave UK conditions and we desperately need to invest in new posts for the rising generation of researchers in light of the current UK university crisis.

L'euro apparaît de plus en plus comme une alternative au $ si l'Europe peut coordonner sa défense et son indépendance énergétique. L'UE doit avoir sa riposte numérique face à une augmentation des $ « stable coins » dans les échanges.

Where is the outrage in America about this shameful betrayal by Trump? Where are the Senators and Members of Congress who cheered Zelensky when he addressed them, but are now too afraid of Trump to say a word in defence of Ukraine?

Could the Nobel committee please explain to the President of the US that trying to bully a heroic country into capitulating to an invader and an aggressor will NEVER be rewarded by a Nobel Peace Prize? @nobelprize.bsky.social @nobelpeaceprize.bsky.social

Very good points in this: @shahinvallee.bsky.social

Well this is interesting. In Ukraine, who is the most popular foreign leader? Source: Rating Group Ukraine

Nervous Musk, Trump, Vance have all been outclassed in public arguments these last few days. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular. People are starting to realize that there is no truth here beyond the desire for personal wealth and power. (2/2)

The task of European members of NATO is now to make it possible for Ukraine to reject the capitulation to Russia proposed by the US…whatever the outcome does not bode well for the future of the alliance …

No, not embarrassing. “Embarrassing” is Trump’s servility to Putin. But this is enraging - trying to extort valuable resources from the country he is happy to betray. And it’s a warning to Europe: Trump’s US can no longer be regarded as a reliable ally, as I wrote: www.cer.eu/insights/tru...
