hi just checking is Wheel of Fortune still on TV elsewhere or is it just my parents’ house running on VHS
2025 was *a year*
Our 2025 Annual Report is now live! Check out highlights from one of our busiest years ever:
The great @aimewilliams.bsky.social joins to break down what’s happened since “Liberation Day” 2025—why US imports actually rose, and what comes next after the Supreme Court overturned Trump’s tariffs.
Thanks, Pame!!!
Feels less like a year and more like the road to Mordor ... but so glad Trade talks is back!
i might end up posting this 17 times today but if you only read one piece on the anniversary of Trump's Liberation Day Tariffs let it be this one, by @alanbeattie.bsky.social
Great news! The legendary Trade Talks podcast is back! A wonderful source of information and insight on international trade and trade policy.

Trump announces plans to impose tariffs of up to 100% on pharmaceuticals as the president takes aim at companies that have not boosted investment in the US or reduced their prices.

Excited to see @chadpbown.com posting more here - and to see a new episode of Trade Talks. With a shooting war going on, it might be easy to forget that there's a (cold?) trade war happening too. As Bastiat said, "When goods don't cross borders, armies do." Definitely worth a follow!
The very awesome @aimewilliams.bsky.social joins the podcast this week to explain what has happened since Trump’s sweeping April 2, 2025 TARIFF announcement, including SURPRISES buried in the weeds of US import and export data, as well what comes next after that momentous SUPREME COURT decision.
"The people who go into war often underestimate the range of options open to the adversary."
Listen to the amazing @mark4harrison.bsky.social provide historical examples of the range of ECONOMIC OPTIONS open to the adversary.
Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs have not created manufacturing jobs.
Smart economic strategy would stop measuring success by the number of assembly lines reopened & start focusing on what raises living standards: productivity, affordability and overall economic growth.
