"U.S. Court of International Trade Judge Richard Eaton had ordered immediate compliance, but he pushed back the timeline after fielding CBP officials’ concerns at a Friday hearing. The judge has now ordered a March 12 update on the progress.
CBP collected roughly $166 billion in tariffs from over 330,000 importers struck down by the Supreme Court that now must be returned, government data indicates."

"Finally and most abstractly, but no less importantly, Democrats need to present the American people with a vision for the country that isn’t defined negatively against the character and politics of Trump, who, execrable as he is, will not be around as a galvanizing villain forever. He might carry them to victory this November, yes. But he can’t carry them much longer."

In Denmark, the Center Did Not Hold
Tuesday’s Danish election punished the Social Democrats as well as their center-right government partners. The result again showed voters’ distaste for managerial coalitions spanning the neoliberal center ground.

Fantastic to see all those people around the US turn out today for #nokings , the world is watching and reassured that a lot of Americans also say this president should go.

Oh the irony! Politicians in the UK like to describe their parties as a "broad church", when the reality is that most denominations, especially the Anglican communion, seem intent on tearing themselves apart. #BroadChurch #politics

Jesse Jackson Paved the Way for a New US Left
With his two unabashedly left-populist campaigns for president in 1984 and 1988, Jesse Jackson opened the door to Bernie Sanders’s presidential runs — and a reborn American socialist movement.

Tax the rich for a fairer Britain #Britain

Tax the super-rich for a greener, fairer Britain
Britain is crying out for national renewal, and it’s climate solutions that can improve people’s lives starting tomorrow. Solutions that are achievable if those with the broadest shoulders - who also emit the most to pollute our climate - chip in and do their bit. I’ve joined Greenpeace in demanding a one-off National Renewal Tax on the super-rich 0.1% in the UK - with wealth over £10 million - to help rebuild our country. Will you also add your name?

I don't know what anyone would have expected out of this administration.

The last known sane thing a US Republican tried to say:
There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don’t know we don’t know.

It's the White House that's saying this so I am guessing that an end to the war will be announced on Friday and then they will announce that the war is restarting on Tuesday.
"The White House believes it's getting close to an agreement with Iran on a one-page memorandum of understanding to end the war and set a framework for more detailed nuclear negotiations, according to two U.S. officials and two other sources briefed on the issue."

Perceived inequality is a breeding ground for populism, say researchers

Perceived inequality is a breeding ground for populism, say researchers
In recent decades, income and wealth disparities have widened significantly in many European countries. At the same time, support for populist parties has grown. Previous studies have already pointed out that rising inequality may be contributing to the growth of populist movements. But how can this correlation be explained? Why are more and more people turning to populist parties?

They surveyed 2,388 tenured and tenure-track faculty, and ~644 responded. I don't think that it's too controversial to say that a group of highly educated people who are willing to self-identify their political leaning would be overwhelmingly liberal.
"Fewer than 10 percent of faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison identify as conservative, while 70 percent identify as liberal, according to a new poll from the school’s Tommy G. Thompson Center"
