I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world?

Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)

Trump administration announces 16th deadly strike on an alleged drug boat The attack Tuesday killed two people aboard the vessel, Hegseth said, bringing the death toll from the Trump administration's campaign in South American waters up to at least 66 people.

This is the 16th deadly strike on an alleged Venezuelan drug boat. Hegseth is a homicidal maniac who has no problem killing people in trump’s make believe, made from scratch war.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

Air traffic controllers warn of 'tipping point' as U.S. government shutdown drags on The government shutdown is taking a growing toll on air traffic controllers who are working without pay. Staffing shortages led to big delays over the weekend, raising concerns about travel chaos.

Crumbling healthcare and disinformation campaigns about preventable diseases.

Armed gangs of MAGA thugs who can disappear you and your family without a trace.

And now, yet another way to get killed in Trump's America.

Trump: "It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do and that's terminate the filibuster ... we should start tonight with 'the country's open, congratulations,' then we should pass voted ID, we should pass no mail in voting ... you go to a grocery store, you have to give ID."

Maybe they’ll push it through, and then due to the timing send out Trump checks to reimburse.

Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in economic activity.

There should never be shame in needing help from a food pantry. But this is gut-wrenching: working every day, not getting paid for weeks, and needing a food pantry you didn’t need before.

What’s shameful is that this is completely avoidable. Republicans need to get back to DC and negotiate.

It didn’t take a Reichstag Fire to burn down Congress | Will Bunch Newsletter Plus, what’s troubling about Maine’s Nazi tattoo flap.

The Founders knew Congress - especially the House - was the backbone of U.S. democracy. It should be a huge story that Mike Johnson, serving Trump, has all but shut it down

From the Reichstag Fire to Putin's toothless Duma, this is what dictators do. My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...
