Congress dropped a so-called "minibus" deal to end the 40-day shutdown but it's a surrender disguised as progress.
It funds veterans and agriculture but abandons the 20 million Americans who rely on ACA subsidies for health care.

A Russian blogger shared that many Russians do not realize how many Russian soldiers are dying in the war against Ukraine.
"For these two small cities [Pokrovsk and Bakhmut], Russia has already killed 80-100 thousand of its own soldiers. It wasn't Ukraine that killed them, it was Russia," he says.

The Heritage Foundation, the intellectual engine behind the 922-page blueprint that has become the key policy manual for Donald Trump’s second term, is partnering with a constellation of European nationalist far-right movements to export its playbook.

On the agenda: pro-natalism, freedom of expression, opposing trans rights and fighting Chinese influence.

Brexit damage worse over time. Has already knocked up to 8% off GDP, reduced productivity by up to 4% and investment by up to 18% (let that sink in for a moment) plus the loss of untold jobs. Surely fair to say forthcoming tax rises wouldn’t have been necessary without Brexit. Pain for no gain
