  2. How Immigration Became the West’s Favorite Election Tool

    In 2025, Canada drastically cut Indian student visa approvals, reflecting a trend where immigration is manipulated for political gain amid economic pressures. As housing costs soared, governments framed immigration as both a scapegoat and a tool for securing votes. This strategy transformed compassion into a transactional issue, prioritizing control over genuine opportunity and empathy.

  7. Why the Nobel Peace Prize and United Nations now endanger the peace they were built to protect.
    Trust fails when institutions ask for belief without proof.

    Accountability is simple. Can the public verify the claim.

    The world does not demand perfection from its peacekeepers. It demands proof.

  8. Paul Krugman exposes a troubling reality: Drastic budget cuts to NOAA and scientific research aren’t just fiscal moves; they undermine vital public services in weather forecasting. A staggering 40% reduction reflects a dangerous agenda to diminish climate change evidence. This trend threatens long-term economic stability as ignorance is prioritized over science.

  9. Paul Krugman raises alarms about the U.S.'s declining reliability as a nation amid political turmoil and financial instability. He highlights skepticism toward Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s assurance that the U.S. will never default, as markets show caution towards government debt. This erosion of confidence may lead to capital flight.

  10. Paul Krugman reveals a striking shift in tariffs on China, slashed from 145% to 30%. He examines the implications: despite a higher average tariff rate of 13%, the reduction signifies a retreat rather than strategic negotiation and introduces uncertainty about future policies. The move may be too late to address ongoing price hikes and inventory woes. Is a return to rational policymaking possible?

  11. Is Kevin Warsh the right choice for the Fed? Paul Krugman critiques the potential appointment of Warsh as Federal Reserve Chair, arguing that his politically-driven approach may prioritize party interests over sound monetary policy. Krugman focuses on Warsh's past support for fiscal austerity amidst economic struggle, exposing a pattern of unproven assertions. The post encourages a critical look at economic discourse.

  12. Mass deportations could slash U.S. GDP by up to 6.8%—a $1.7 trillion hit. Rural counties that backed Trump would be hit hardest, losing critical immigrant labor in farming, construction & manufacturing. Labor gaps = higher costs, fewer jobs, and deeper economic decline.

    Add tariffs to the mix—already raising costs & sparking retaliation—and these policies risk gutting rural economies. The same communities that voted for Trump are the ones most at risk.

  13. Cyber Security Policy is markedly different under the Trump administration, to say the least.

    Expert warnings mount as key US cyber agencies face staff cuts, leadership shakeups, and even retaliatory actions against private partners - namely those made in the last 24 hours, targeting former CISA Director, Chris Krebs.

    Recent White House actions suggest a troubling shift away from expert-driven cyber defense towards political expediency. From sidelined Russia operations to gutted agencies, we examine the evidence and the potential global fallout.

  14. Trump’s tariff formula has economists scratching their heads. Erin Doherty critiques this approach, highlighting its reliance on an inflated trade deficit calculation that misestimates crucial metrics, leading to disproportionately high tariffs. Key economists suggest adjusting the elasticity of import prices, which could drastically lower rates. With discrepancies noted by the Cato Institute, the article raises essential questions about the economic foundation for these tariffs.

  15. 🇪🇺 Want to analyze text from the EU public consultations? EU public consultations are a way in which the EU invites the broader public to publicly comment on upcoming legislation.

    📦 :python: I just published a first version of a Python package {eu-consultations} to scrape and extract text from the EU website:
    github.com/marioangst/eu_consu

    - download consultation data as displayed on the EU's frontend into a validated form
    - download associated files (this is the hard part about analysing this data - lots of feedback is in .docx and .pdf files)
    - extract text from the files using docling and attach to feedback

    You get all data in validated form and possibly stored in huge (sorry for that) JSON files ;).

    This package is part of an analysis project on feedback the EU has received via the public consultation process on digital policy we plan to present later this year, but I thought let's make some of the tools we use open source way earlier already.

  16. Is there really a new economic philosophy? Paul Krugman dissects the misguided narratives around Trump’s economic policies, challenging the notion of a “Mar-a-Lago Accord.” He argues that the prevailing commentary misrepresents ignorance as strategy, with fantasies perpetuated by advisors and journalists misleading the public. Discover how Trump's trade policy, framed as innovative, is actually a reflection of outdated thinking.

  17. CW: UK politics, social security / benefit payments, mh--, semi-suicide threat, but also stubborn enough to live just to spite the wannabe-tories

    I'm so close to the fucking edge this year.

    I got a 1 kg bag of tapioca pearls for boba tea to make cheaper at home so I can still have a treat. Saw the price tag and was like "hmmm. *Do* I want / deserve an easy sweet treat I can add nutrient powder to as needed and sip for hydration?"
    I got it in the end, but everyone deserves nice things. Yes, even the people you hate. Even the asshole down the street. Maybe if they got nice things and felt nicer, they might be kinder to people around them, idfk.

  18. Is DEI hindering air traffic safety? Sean Duffy proposes to scrutinize Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion hiring at the FAA after a controversial audio leak. He argues these practices dilute qualifications, much like law school admissions. Critics warn that such claims distract from rising air traffic incidents and suggest underlying racial motives.
