From the perspective of someone outside the US, it is inspiring to see Lisa Cook standing up against a naked power grab.

Google Sign in is dunkin cereal milk gluten fr Al Overview +1 No, Dunkin' Cereal Milk is not gluten-free because it contains milk, which is a common allergen, and as a result, it is not suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. However, coffee drinks, dairy milk, and non-dairy milks like oat, almond, and coconut milk are naturally gluten-free at Dunkin'.
In 25 years, every business school in the country will be doing case studies about how a long defunct company known as βGoogleβ once had an unbeatable lock on online information retrieval and then started doing shit like this.
For the EU, this should be a very urgent matter of national security. All EU member states should build on Denmark's wise strategy to phase out Microsoft products
FΓΌr das Wohl der Schweiz ist an der Zeit, die Deutungshoheit der NZZ zu relativieren.
Dieser Cherfredaktor ist unhaltbar kurzsichtig!
Welcome to Zurich. Itβs great to have you around!
I might add that there's a special responsibility on relatively large closed economies like the EU to stand up to Trump, since the aggregate costs of his protection and their retaliation will be relatively small for them. If they don't defend the system by punishing flagrant rule-breaking who will?
This heat wave mortality graphic tells quite the story.
Europe needs to get over itself and start rolling out air conditioning.

Hi, first-gen high school-grad here
Yep, socio-economic diversity is a real issue. Yep, legacy admissions must go gwagner.com/legacy
But yes, international students are good for US universities and the US, much like students outside New England are good for Boston-based universities and for Boston
Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.
There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

More than 80 Harvard faculty members have signed on to a pledge to donate 10% of their paycheck to support staff and students, as long as the University resists Trump's unlawful demands. I am so proud of my colleagues. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
With Hungary and Slovakia firmly in Putin's bag, and Romania and Czech Republic on the brink, the dream of making the Union work without reforming unanimity is done for.
Some would like to "expel" certain countries. This is unfeasible but also stupid.
EU foreign policy: go majority or go bust.
βThereβs gonna be a brain drain like youβve never seen. A big, beautiful brain drain. People are saying it might be the worldβs best brain drain, I dunno, but thatβs what theyβre saying.β
Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Letβs hope others follow suit.
Donald Trump will, dass sich die Welt seinem Machtwahn beugt. Der Bundesrat muss endlich RΓΌckgrat zeigen und sich den Gegenmassnahmen der EU anschliessen. Jetzt den Trump-Appell unterschreiben und Druck machen!

They are terrible as economists, worse as people.
Oh yes, there is a trade economist on the Council of Economic Advisors. Kim Ruhl from Wisconsin. I would be interested to know what he has to say about the Liberation Day tariffs and his advisory role.
Trumps neofaschistisches Regime versucht mit hohen ImportzΓΆllen, die Schweiz und Europa einzuschΓΌchtern. Die SP Schweiz fordert, dass der Bundesrat klar Haltung zeigt und mit der EU abgestimmt handelt. Ziel muss es sein, gezielt die Profiteure rund um Tech-Oligarchen wie Elon Musk zu treffen. (1/2)
So, who are the actual economists participating in this regime?
Is it time for some professional accountability? Because this is appalling nonsense and if you donβt support it, you should say so.

Is it a *coincidence* that there is a full-on multipronged effort by so many to convince us all that AGI is absolutely imminent at the same time as GPT β4.5β (which was supposed to be 5), Grok 3, and Claude 3.7 all fell short of everybodyβs insane expectations?
Itβs gut-wrenching to see how Trump and Vance are bullying Zelenskyy. Everyone in Europe needs to watch this video. This is what weβre heading to if we continue to rely on the US. Unbelievable and disgraceful.

Zelenskyy has left the White House early after Trump said βcome back when youβre ready for peaceβ.
Your friends are in Europe, Z. Time to close ranks.
