BREAKING: Adam Schiff just released this video exposing how Trump’s tariffs are raising prices for families. Republicans are already fuming.

“Have you even said thank you once?”

Backpedalling furiously, I see. Only the UK & France had proposed anything approaching scale of 20k troops, so I don't see how Vance would be referring to anyone else. But let's take smaller states. Denmark & Estonia took same casualties per capita as America in Afghanistan.

US: Europe has to stand on its own feet Europe: proposes to stand on own feet US: no, not like that.

In light of today's American decision to suspend all military aid to Ukraine, our piece for New Lines assessing whether Europe could continue to militarily support Ukraine alone (spoiler: it could), has unfortunately become more timely.👇

I can confirm I've replicated the CEA calculation for the so-called "tariffs charged to the USA" on these charts. It is the Census FT900 trade data, exhibit 4, for year 2024, and the formula is MAX(10%,(imports-exports)/imports) per-country on a customs basis.

This is truly amazing. The Deputy White House Press Secretary is claiming that I'm wrong, and that the "tariff rates" on Trump's chart were calculated by "literally" measuring every country's tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers. To prove it, he screenshots the formula the USTR

As a someone who translates ideas into math for a living, I noticed something weird about the tariff formula that I haven't seen anybody else talk about. 🧵

"Oh ... it's only China". Or how to make the sudden decoupling of the world’s two largest economies seem like a relief. Chartbook 371 just dropped. Pls forgive the typo in the title of the original emailed version. High-speed early morning typing. tinyurl.com/5f6s6pfs
