Donald Trump has asked the US supreme court to overturn a lower court decision that most of his sweeping trade tariffs were illegal.
The US president filed a petition late on Wednesday to ask for a review of last week’s federal appeals court ruling in Washington DC, which centred on his “liberation day” border taxes introduced on 2 April that imposed levies of between 10% and 50% on most US imports and sent shock waves through global trade and markets.
The court found in a 7-4 ruling last Friday that Trump overstepped his presidential powers when he invoked a 1977 law designed to address national emergencies to justify his “reciprocal” tariffs.
The decision was the biggest blow yet to Trump’s tariff policies but the levies were left in place until 14 October, giving the administration time to ask the supreme court to review the decision.
Trump has now appealed and the supreme court is expected to review the case, although the justices must still agree to do so. The administration asked for that decision to be made by 10 September.
The appeal calls for an accelerated schedule with arguments being heard by 10 November, according to filings seen by Bloomberg. Justices could then rule by the end of the year.
The ruling that the tariffs were unlawful upheld a previous decision by the US court of international trade.
The federal appeals court said last Friday that US law “bestows significant authority on the president to undertake a number of actions in response to a declared national emergency, but none of these actions explicitly include the power to impose tariffs, duties or the like, or the power to tax”.
It said many of Trump’s steep tariffs were “unbounded in scope, amount and duration” and “assert an expansive authority that is beyond the express limitations” of the law his administration has leaned on.
The president swiftly hit back. “If allowed to stand, this Decision would literally destroy the United States of America,” he wrote on his Truth Social platform.

On Tuesday he called for an “expedited ruling” from the supreme court. Addressing reporters at the White House, Trump claimed the US “could end up being a third-world country” without tariffs.
A defeat for Trump’s levies would at least halve the current average US effective tariff rate of 16.3%, and could force the US to pay back tens of billions of dollars, according to Chris Kennedy, an analyst at Bloomberg Economics. It could also derail the preliminary trade deals the president has struck with some countries, including the UK and the EU.
Tariffs typically need to be approved by Congress, but Trump claims he has the right to impose tariffs on trading partners under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which in some circumstances grants the president authority to regulate or prohibit international transactions during a national emergency.
Earlier this week, the US clothing brand Levi’s said “rising anti-Americanism as a consequence of the Trump tariffs and governmental policies” could drive British shoppers away from its denim. Other brands, such as Tesla, have also suffered in Europe and in Canada, while protests against US goods have led to a slump in sales of Jack Daniel’s whiskey.
JAKARTA – Warner Bros. released the first teaser for the film Wuthering Heights from director Emerald Fennell. Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie are the main characters of this film.
This one-minute teaser features a transition in interaction between the two main characters, Cathy (Margot Robbie) and Heathcliff (Jacob Elordi). The two had intimate scenes but they looked away at each other at home, until Cathy was with another man and Heathcliff only watched their intimacy.
Another scene shows Heathcliff changing his appearance and stealing views with Cathy but conflicts are coming to them, making them question their love and side.
This film is adapted from Emily Brontris’ legendary 1847 novel which tells the story of social status, retaliation, and love.
In addition to the two, the film is played by Hong Chau, Alison Oliver, Shazad Latif, Owen Cooper, Charlotte Mellington and Vy Nguyen. The film made the big screen debuts for Cooper, Mellington, and Nguyen.
This film became a gamble between Warner Bros. and Netflix before being won by Warner Bros. They also returned to work with Margot Robbie’s production house, LuckyChap.
Wuthering Heights is Emerald Fennell’s latest work after Promising Young Woman and Saltburn. The film is also the latest collaboration between Fennell and LuckyChap after Saltburn.
The film Wuthering Heights is scheduled to hit theaters on February 13, 2026.

A recent study has shown that more than 3.7 million Brits over 45 go raving once a week, an activity usually associated with younger crowds. But with the UK nightlife industry struggling with rising costs and falling attendees (in 2013, the UK had 1,700 nightclubs. By June 2024 there were fewer than half as many, just 787), might older clubbers be the saviour of the UK club scene?
If you’re someone over the age of 40 who regularly goes clubbing, we’d love to hear from you. Are you new to the scene or keeping the thrill of your younger years alive? What do you love about it and who do you go with? Which clubs do you prefer going to? Clubs with younger people alongside, or daytime raves designed for your age group? And ultimately, who should nightclubs be for? Do you as a middle-aged raver feel welcomed in the nightlife scene?

As you board the plane, the flight attendant welcomes you on board. They point you to your seat and help with your luggage, before giving the safety demonstration, and preparing the plane for take-off. And there’s a good chance they’ve done it all for free.
But a tentative deal between Air Canada and thousands of flight attendants has sparked hope more airlines will end a little-known reality for many North American cabin crews – and pay flight attendants when planes are not moving.
“The Air Canada strike helps negotiations everywhere,” Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA)-CWA, which represents about 55,000 flight attendants at 20 different airlinessaid in a statement. “It defined the problem of ridiculous expectations for flight attendants to work without pay.”
Over 10,000 flight attendants at Air Canada walked off the job last month, in a battle with management that centered on pay during boarding and unboarding of flights.
The three-day strike at Canada’s largest carrier snarled global summer travel, prompted the country’s government to force binding arbitration and led to a tentative deal that includes at least 60 minutes of ground pay before each flight, at 50% of a flight attendant’s hourly rate.
The demonstrations by workers, and concessions by Air Canada on pay, “place additional pressure on management everywhere to get real in negotiations”, added Nelson.
Air Canada indicated it will gradually increase the pay of flight attendants for an hour before flights on narrow-body jets, and 70 minutes on larger, wide-body aircraft, reaching 70% of full wage for ground work within four years – dashing flight attendants’ hopes of full compensation for this work, but shifting away from the established practice of no pay until flights are in motion.
Bea Bruske, president of the Canadian Labour Congress, says the agreement could serve as a foundation for a “new norm” across the continent. “This deal becomes the new standard,” she said, after the deal was agreed, “because … other unionized flight attendants that have the ability to demand better at the bargaining table will be looking at this collective agreement to say, ‘we want that, too’.”
Airline employees in the US are covered under the Railway Labor Act, which doesn’t mandate direct hourly pay, unlike the Fair Labor Standards Act, which covers most other public and private sector workers.
For a generation, flight attendants for most airlines across North America have not been paid for their work during boarding of planes. Delta Air Lines became the first big carrier to change this in 2022, in the midst of a union organizing drive.
Alaska Airlines and American Airlines followed. United Airlines has indicated it stands ready to do so, too, although a tentative agreement was voted down in July, with bargaining under federal mediation set to recommence in December.
Things are changing. “Air Canada and its flight attendants agreed on a formula for ground pay that is over and above what Delta introduced in 2022, and what American and Alaska have agreed since,” said John Gradek, an aviation expert and business professor at McGill University in Montreal.
The deal will probably influence contract negotiations for WestJet flight attendants in 2026 in Canada, added Gradek, and may provide a window for United flight attendants to secure better boarding pay deals, too.
‘Most of our passengers have no idea’
“We’re working more, we’re working harder, and we’re not getting enough pay to make our bills every month,” said Jen Sala, a longtime flight attendant at Frontier Airlines who serves at president of its AFA union. “Flight attendants deserve to be paid for every single hour we work. Airlines shouldn’t be able to pick and choose the hours that they pay their employees.”
Around 4,100 flight attendants at Frontier Airlines voted last September to authorize a strike with 99.6% in favor, as they have been fighting for a new contract since 2023 that includes boarding pay for flight attendants. The union is currently in federal mediation with the airline.
Frontier Airlines did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
“We can fly upwards of 15 hours in a day and only get paid for three and a half. Our flight attendants don’t make a living wage,” said Becky Black, a flight attendant for nearly 22 years at PSA Airlines, which operates flights for American Airlines. “We have a flight attendant who lives in a homeless shelter. We have flight attendants that are living in crew rooms. We have flight attendants who are 30 years old and have to move back in with their parents because they can’t afford to live with this job.
“Most of our passengers have no idea that we are only paid from the time the door closes until the door opens.”
Unlike flight attendants directly employed by American, flight attendants working for PSA are not paid until the plane door is closed and the pilot releases the parking brake.
Black, a member of the PSA’s union negotiating committee, is one of 1,500 flight attendants at the airline who have been in negotiations for a new union contract for two years, with negotiations currently under mediation.
Flight attendants at PSA are expected to report 45 minutes prior to a flight, and have to arrive at the airport earlier to get through security screening, Black said. Their pre-boarding procedures, including safety checks and boarding passengers, take at least an additional 30 minutes.
“We’ve been on duty, but we haven’t been getting paid yet. We get paid for the flight time. And when we land and the door opens, we stop getting paid at that point, and we do the deplaning,” Black said. “Our time does have value, and we do deserve to be paid for what we’re doing. And that’s where the boarding pay comes in.”
The union representing flight attendants at the airline authorized a strike with a 99.2 % vote last September, and have held several picket demonstrations since to raise awareness and support for securing boarding pay and wage increases that align with other American flight attendants in their union contract, as PSA flight attendants are paid 40 to 45% less than flight attendants directly at American.
“We’re there to hold your hand when you’re afraid of flying, to talk to you or hold your hand when you’re traveling to a funeral for a loved one, to save your life if you’re having a heart attack in the middle of a flight, or to put out a fire,” said Black. “We’re there to evacuate the airplane in 90 seconds to make sure that you all get off safe and get to your family. And we’re not asking for much. We’re just asking for respect, to be respected for the job that we do for American Airlines, and to have a livable wage.”
American Airlines did not respond to multiple requests for comment. PSA Airlines did not comment on the boarding pay issue. “We share the same goal as our flight attendants to get a deal done,” said a spokesperson. “With the support of the National Mediation Board, we continue to meet regularly with the AFA and have made progress toward reaching an agreement that our flight attendants deserve.”
Another week, another somewhat fictional online buzzword to parse. This time it is the “performative male”, basically the idea that posturing straight men only read books to get laid, outlined in recent trend pieces including the New York Times, Vox, Teen Vogue, Hypebeast, GQ and millions of TikToks.
According to the Times, this man “curates his aesthetic in a way that he thinks might render him more likable to progressive women. He is, in short, the antithesis of the toxic man.” Apparently these heterosexual men who read Joan Didion, carry tote bags and listen to Clairo are not in fact human beings who enjoy things but performative jerk offs who don’t really care about any of that girly stuff and are just trying to impress their feminine opposites. As Vox put it: “think Jacob Elordi when he was photographed with three different books on his person, or Paul Mescal publicly admiring Mitski”. Reading! Enjoying music by women! Perish the thought.
Each piece differed slightly in what it defined as the key characteristics of the performative male, but they all shared one detail: he drinks matcha lattes.
This was unsurprising. For three decades the latte has been the favored blog-whistle of the trend piece writer. It signals liberalism, femininity, gayness, pretension, gentrification – ideally all of the above – so reflexively that its origins as an insult are rarely revisited.
It began in earnest in 1997, when journalist David Brooks writing in the Weekly Standard coined the term “latte liberal”. He was trying, disparagingly, to give name to the crunchy consumerist leftism of the time, in which organic vegetables and world music had become part of the social justice hamper: “You know you’re in a Latte Town when you can hop right off a bike path, browse in a used bookstore with shelves and shelves of tomes on Marxism the owner can no longer get rid of, and then drink coffee at a place with a punnish name that must have the word ‘Grounds’ in it, before sauntering through an African drum store or a feminist lingerie shop.”
Brooks wanted to hint that leftism is a luxury only the bourgeois can afford – an idea encapsulated by the earlier formation of champagne socialist. But the latte proved a stickier, more evocative symbol, painting liberals as soft and effete.
In 2004, lattes really entered politics, when a Republican Pac ran an ad accusing presidential candidate Howard Dean of being a “latte-drinking, sushi-eating, Volvo-driving, New York Times-reading, body-piercing, Hollywood-loving left-wing freak show”.
Lattes also became a byword for gentrification. In 2000, when the Brooklyn neighborhood Williamsburg was, the Times bemoaned at the time, reaching “the point of hipster saturation”, the final straw was “a local Italian specialty store and a working-class institution … advertising the arrival of the Chai latte”. In New York Magazine’s 2005 feature L-ification, the publication mapped out how gentrification was spreading further east into Brooklyn along the route of the L train with little latte icons, a milky glyph of whiteness by that point understood by everyone.
Noticeably, the latte form remains permanent, even as the type of latte shifts. Newt Gingrich accused New York mayor Bill De Blasio of “small soy latte liberalism” in 2014 – emphasising that the only thing more girlish than drinking a big dairy milky coffee was drinking a small vegan milky coffee. On Drake’s 2010 song Thank Me Now, when he’s asking the woman he’s left behind if she still thinks of him, he croons: “But do I ever come up in discussion / Over double-pump lattes and low-fat muffins?”
Now the performative male has once again given rise to the idea that there is something inherently disingenuous about a milky beverage. Interestingly as the latte has changed colour, from white to green, the stereotype has expanded beyond the white liberal: matcha hails a diverse new generation of milky boys.
The idea of the performative male started out mostly as a joke on TikTok, where knowing posters would show a man reading at the gym, for example, and joke that he was pretending. Contests in which men meet in parks to compete to be the most performative have been funny, postmodern, heterosexual versions of drag.
But with each passing write up, the knowing humorous element was been rinsed away, until Vox earnestly announced in its piece that the “MeToo movement showed us that even supposed ‘nice guy’ could be capable of alleged manipulation and abuse – that in fact, they could use their enlightenment as a kind of shield”. If you see a man with a matcha latte, you need to run!
None of the pieces massively wanted to reckon with the fact that, as Judith Butler put it, “gender identity is a performative accomplishment” to begin with, or that Arthur Schopenhauer was complaining in the mid-19th-century that a performative reader “usually confuses the purchase of books with the acquisition of their contents”. Do we read in order to get laid? Only since forever.

Ironically much of this ribbing comes from the same people who decry a crisis of masculinity, and worry for future generations of boys who feel like they lack purpose and companionship. Yet in the world of the performative male, even having female friends and drinking milky coffee is a divergence from true masculinity.
Why is the latte such an enduring emblem for this distrust – a way to call men you do not like effeminate?
Partly it is the allegory of milk, the pursed mouth of a graphic designer on a coffee cup as a surrogate for the Madonna del Latte, the thousands of middle ages depictions of Jesus nursing at Mary’s breast. Grown men drinking milk has always been laden in symbolism, the blend of nurture and eroticism evocative of a sexual infantalization. It is why so many films from A Clockwork Orange to Babygirl centre milk as a poison beyond a place of regular intoxication. When Kelis sings that her milkshake brings her boys to the yard, the lyric is so heavy in implication that the exact innuendo she is reaching for is irrelevant.
Even the ancient Greeks used to have their own version of the latte joke, belittling the Persians that drank milk: Aristotle said Empedocles described it as “whitish pus”.
But the milk in the context of the latte also turns coffee, a drink which was sold as fuel, bitter black stuff for TV detectives and the working man, into a sweet little treat. A latte fundamentally dilutes the taste of coffee and so it is easy to present those who drink it as watering down their wine. Even though the iconography of the latte liberal is now so strong it has stretched to drinks that do not contain any coffee to begin with. According to the performative male trend pieces, drinking a matcha latte indicates to women that you are soft, feminist-leaning and worldly (after all, it’s from Japan).
Even though the latte is supposed to be this bastion of girlishness, women are not exempt for being chastised for drinking them, although the latte trope for them is more often a reflection of being superficial than performatively feminine. The logic of this makes little sense: latte liberal men are supposedly too European to be masculine, yet iced latte girlies are gormless Americans sucking on the straw of consumerism. No matter, the two sit side by side, one clutching a hot cup of simp soup, the other a pumpkin-spiced lobotomy. They are a pair one can project all their prejudices towards, without having to interrogate any of it too much.
The irony is that hipsters and gentrifiers in coastal towns are rarely drinking lattes these days. They are much more likely to be sipping on a single origin V60 that’s been carefully weighed out on a digital scale. Indeed the stereotype could easily be flipped around – that it’s red states where complicated online Starbucks orders and Stanley cups filled with 32oz of latte abound. In the best survey of the coffee Americans actually drink and how it aligns with their politics by Diana C Mutz and Jahnavi S Rao, the differences were negligible. Although it is true that liberals do prefer lattes over conservatives (16% v 9%), the same research found liberals also prefer the more masculine-coded espressos over conservatives by a much bigger margin, and the vast majority of Americans prefer brewed coffee.
But the milky latte stereotype persists because it is creamy and white (or green) and vaguely Italian. When GQ is asking “Are Matcha Men the new Soy Boys” you have got to wonder if gendering beverages has become the most performative act of all.

HaDEA opens 2025 EU4Health proposals focused on CBRN threats and vector-borne diseases and crisis preparedness
The European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) has announced new funding opportunities under the 2025 EU4Health Work Programme. This new funding will improve the European Union’s crisis preparedness and response to future health emergencies.
These calls for proposals are focused on the development of innovative medical countermeasures for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threats, as well as advanced diagnostics for vector-borne diseases.
Applications are open until 4 December 2025 at 17:00 CEST, through the EU Funding and Tenders Portal.
Focusing on CBRN medical countermeasures
The first central funding line, EU4H-2025-HERA-PJ-1, invites proposals to support the development of cutting-edge medical tools to counter CBRN threats. This call, along with the Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority (HERA), is divided into three subtopics:
Medicinal Products (EU4H-2025-HERA-PJ-1-a):
Funding will support the development of innovative medicinal products to prevent or treat illnesses resulting from CBRN exposure.
Reusable Respiratory PPE and Protection Suits (EU4H-2025-HERA-PJ-1-b):
This subtopic targets innovation in high-quality, reusable personal protective equipment designed for use in CBRN environments.
Detection and Diagnosis (EU4H-2025-HERA-PJ-1-c):
This part of the call supports the development of technologies for rapid detection and accurate diagnosis of CBRN-related threats.
These initiatives aim to enhance the EU’s crisis preparedness for health emergencies, enhance civilian protection, and ensure the availability of effective countermeasures during crises.
Diagnostics for vector-borne diseases
The second major funding call, EU4H-2025-HERA-PJ-2, addresses the growing concern of vector-borne diseases (VBDs), which are transmitted by insects such as mosquitoes and ticks. The call focuses on the development of innovative diagnostic tests that can help health systems detect and manage these diseases more effectively.
With climate change and increased global travel contributing to the spread of VBDs like dengue, chikungunya, and Lyme disease, the EU aims to strengthen health surveillance and early detection capabilities. Improved diagnostics are expected to play a key role in reducing the burden of these diseases and enhancing public health resilience.
Information session on 15 September
To support potential applicants, HaDEA and HERA will host an Info Session on Monday, 15 September 2025, from 14:30 to 17:00 CEST. The session will provide an overview of the calls, including their policy background, objectives, expected outcomes, and application procedures. Interested participants are encouraged to register in advance to secure their attendance.
These calls form part of the EU4Health programme, the EU’s largest health funding initiative to date. Launched in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, EU4Health aims to build more resilient healthcare systems across Europe. By supporting innovation in medical technologies, public health infrastructure, and cross-border cooperation, the programme contributes to a healthier and more secure Europe.
From 2021 to 2027, HaDEA is responsible for implementing most of the EU4Health budget, managing grants and tenders to support a wide range of health-related projects.
I can’t stress enough that everything else is really identical to last month’s edition, but to save you from having to go to my previous introduction article, here’s a quick summary. We have a navy blue Bioceramic case, which also features the new rubber strap/velcro design. The dial features Snoopy and Woodstock gazing at the Earth, as indicated by the Earthphase, set against a starry fauxventurine background. Next to it is the moonphase, featuring the titular Moonshine Gold-coated discs. In addition to the backgrounds of the complication discs, the minutes and seconds track, as well as the handset, get the starry-metallic-blue treatment. The secret UV-illuminated message remains, with a speech bubble appearing above Snoopy saying “I beat everybody…” as a hidden touch.
