The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

The WSJ Editorial Board slams Trump’s trade war with Camada and Mexico: “Mr. Trump sometimes sounds as if the U.S. shouldn’t import anything at all, that America can be a perfectly closed economy making everything at home. This is called autarky, and it isn’t the world we live in…”

Americans — especially those in red states — are about to learn a very painful lesson about how tariffs work. Despite Trump’s idiotic claims to the contrary, American consumers will soon pay higher prices because of Canada’s 25% retaliatory tariffs, in response to Trump’s tariffs. Welcome to FAFO.

For too long, renters have had limited rights and have lived in insecure and poor conditions. Today I am voting for the Labour Government’s Renters' Rights Bill. This will empower renters, outlaw no-fault evictions and protect tenants from dangerous damp and mould.

Then suddenly I observe a hovering kestrel. In a moment everything is altered... There is nothing now but kestrel. And when I return to thinking of the other matter it seems less important." - Iris Murdoch

A right wing paper that has *never* had a similar headline about the UK economy taking a FAR greater hit from the ruinous Tory Brexit deal, can’t be taken seriously when it slates Labour for dealing with the epic mess the Tories left behind. What did you expect, Times? You helped grenade the place.
