This is a truly great film, probably the best film I’ve seen in 2025 (it was released in France in 2024...). Boris Lojkine tackles the issue of immigration and its various layers of exploitation with realism and subtlety. Compelling and disturbing.

One of the most important charts in the world - from
Rush Doshi in the New York Times.
Without its allies, the United States is woefully behind China in metrics of raw economic power.
Too bad the US president does not seem to get it.

For reasons, checking in on foreign official holdings of US treasuries at the Fed. Now down $100 billion since 'Liberation day'. Note: That latest data point with the biggest weekly drop yet is from *before* Trump's attempted firing of the Fed governor.
Next release will be interesting (Thursday).

This is outstanding. God knows what Labour is doing: legitimising the racism that'll be its undoing, losing the coalition which put it in office, trying to secure voters who will never support it, digging its own moral grave.
