"Everything has changed" - Gita Gopinath on the global economy in 2026
YouTube video by World Economic Forum "Everything has changed" - Gita Gopinath on the global economy in 2026

Just watched this powerful take from Gita Gopinath on how “everything has changed” for the global economy and why current growth figures might be hiding deeper shifts in trade, AI, and geopolitics.

A must-see for anyone thinking about what 2026 has in store.

THREAD: The Supreme Court has just ruled that the International Economic Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize the President to impose tariffs. Trump used IEEPA to impose large swaths of his “reciprocal” tariffs.

Here's some of our research & stay tuned for more 👇

Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s social Ponzi scheme New emails reveal the convicted sex offender’s ability to fulfil the wants and needs of some of the world’s richest and most powerful people

"While the core of the Epstein saga will always be his web of sexual abusers and the women and girls they preyed on (...) Epstein’s emails read like a self-help group for the 0.01 per cent."

No, the public is not irredeemably ignorant But there is a disconnect between economists’ metrics and people’s perceptions

Very interesting article on how we communicate numbers to a broader audience.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti:

"We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family
and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for
as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to
make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be
with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term
lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a
woman.

The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are
reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun
when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs.
He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is
raised above his head while trving to protect the woman ICE
just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man."

Another horrifying shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis What happens when armed men are given impunity

The Trump administration’s siege of Minneapolis is a notional campaign of immigration enforcement whose larger and transparent purpose has been provocation and political theatre

Americans Are the Ones Paying for Tariffs, Study Finds New research contradicts President Trump’s claim that foreigners are footing the bill.

New study affirms what all other studies show. Importers and consumers, not foreign exporters bore the brunt of tariffs.

Spike in uncertainty in April 2025 during the tariff tantrum showed up as paralysis in hiring much of the year since then - a little more than 84% of all jobs for 2025
