Earlier today, President Trump made a last ditch attempt to salvage his tariffs before the Supreme Court by claiming that it would be impossible to refund them.
There's a problem. Trump's own DOJ has been admitting in court filings for months that refunds are possible.🧵

On May 28, 2025 the Trump DOJ filed a motion for a stay of the US Court of International Trade's ruling against them, arguing that the tariffs could be refunded with interest.
The court granted their stay based on this promise.

American military veterans have a suicide problem.
Some have theorized the reason is deployment-related trauma.
Leveraging the random assignment of new soldiers to units with different deployment cycles, Bruhn et al. found that was wrong.
Deployment did not increase suicides.

Looking only at violent deployments (ones with peer casualties), there aren't noncombat mortality effects either.

The reason seems to be that the proposition is wrong: veterans do not have increased suicide risk.
This may seem surprising, but it's not!
Their suicide rates are elevated over the general population because most of them are young White men. That group has a suicide issue.

The Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026 has been published and it is worse than you think.
It criminalises speech that merely causes fear even if no harm occurs, 5 years imprisonment.
It defines public place so broadly that it includes the internet, meaning posts, videos, tweets, memes and blogs all fall within scope.

That aspect is probably not that unrealistic, unfortunately.
Across the OECD, on average, just 55% of 15-to-16-year-olds got this question right, and no country saw 80% get it.
Most people globally *do* struggle even reading simple tables. What else?

That table-reading question is "Level 3", which, amazingly, corresponds to an already-high level of ability, by global standards.
This is a simpler Level 1 question, but with this, 92% of the OECD got it, including just 65% of Brazilians and 53% of Peruvians.

Just 77% of the OECD got this, with less than half of the Mexican population being up to the task.
In fact, only Asian countries got over 90% on this trivial question.

The upward trend of carried weight over decades saw its zenith during operations in Afghanistan, and this led to a realisation that it was both unsustainable and undesirable. Much work has been done since, but have we resolved it?

John Montagu, IV Conde de Sandwich, era un político corrupto y un ludópata degenerado que pasaba 24 horas seguidas jugando a las cartas sin levantarse. Su adicción era tal que no quería parar ni para comer. Así inventó la comida más famosa del mundo. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Nacido en 1718, Montagu asumió el título de conde a los 10 años. Educado en Eton y Cambridge, estaba destinado a dirigir el Imperio británico, pero tenía una debilidad que superaba a su ambición política y que definiría su vida para siempre: era un ludópata incorregible.
Montagu no jugaba por diversión, sino para vivir. Pasaba días enteros sentado en las mesas de juego de los clubes más exclusivos de Londres, como el Cocoa Tree o el Beef Steak Club, en partidas maratonianas que a menudo duraban más de 24 horas seguidas.

La historia contemporánea de Medio Oriente está marcada por un acontecimiento sísmico que alteró el panorama geopolítico: la Revolución Islámica de Irán.

Ruholá Musavi Jomeini nació el 24 de septiembre de 1902 en Jomein. Huérfano de padre, durante su infancia fue criado por su madre y su tía. Comenzó sus estudios coránicos a los seis años y, tras formarse en las ciudades santas de Arak y Qom, se convirtió en un destacado erudito.
Desde joven mostró un interés inusual por la filosofía islámica y el misticismo. Pero, la creciente injerencia de las potencias occidentales en Irán, transformó su vocación.
Para él, el Shah Reza Pahlaví había traicionado la identidad islámica por una modernización superficial.

Reform UK announced today that the former Covid Vaccine Minister Nadhim Zahawi has defected to them. Conspiracy theorists and anti-vaxxers (who seem to be a big part of Reform's target audience) were obviously less than thrilled about this... 🧵
Many conspiracy theorists have already abandoned Reform and moved further into the fringes. Amongst those horrified by Zahawi being welcomed into Reform were the likes of Rupert Lowe (Restore Britain), Kathy Gyngell (Advance UK), Laurence Fox (Reclaim) and Calvin Robinson (UKIP).
Racists also took offence to Nadhim Zahawi joining Reform UK, because a) he's a Muslim, b) he came to the UK (legally) as a refugee when he was a child, and c) he said that immigration can be good for the country.
None of which should be that contentious, unless you're a racist.
