Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:
If Joffrey Baratheon grew up to be an American president, this is pretty much what it would look like.

This is infuriating. What is the point of a Marine Protected Area if trawlers are allowed to keep ploughing it? Yet again, the government has succumbed to commercial lobbying. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Almost everywhere you look - soil, oceans, forests, stoves, other tech - the carbon credits market is fatally compromised by junk science, over-claiming and imperatives of profit.

@altagliabue.bsky.social making a presentation at @ucl.ac.uk telling us that ocean iron fertilization won’t do jack for climate and will further harm fisheries. Yet, it’s the marine CO₂ removal (mCDR) method that has sold the most credits so far. 🤷🏻♂️

⚡️US will exit talks if there’s no progress on a Ukraine-Russia ceasefire, – Sec. of State Rubio. He urged countries to present peace proposals soon. At this point, it may be better for Ukraine to let the US step back — no deal is better than a bad one. kyivindependent.com/rubio-spoke-...
