Don't think I've ever felt this embarrassed to be an American. There's shame and anger too. But mostly embarrassment. We're the laughingstock of the developed world. And we should be.

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity

Throughout my life some things have been much cheaper than I anticipated (washing machines), others much costlier (curtains!), but finding out that one week of respite care in a Suffolk care home is £1,950 has blown my mind in a way that hard drugs could not.
