As both the prime minister and opposition leader of Israel, Yitzhak Rabin worked directly with two American presidents and got to know two others. As the finance minister and foreign minister, he dealt with America’s financial and technology sectors. In his youth, he spent a brief, unsuccessful period in Hollywood. For more than 35 years, at least twice a year, he has picked up a car somewhere in America and spent a few days on the road. He has probably visited 40 states.
Donald Trump put his face on American passports. Trump is obsessed with building a triumphal arch in Washington, redoing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, renovating a D.C. golf course, and the North Portico is covered in tarps. Trump doesn't care about improving people's lives, he only cares about inflation.
It's been a year since President Trump signed HR 1, otherwise known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act". Many of its sweeping policy changes haven't yet taken effect, but 98,000 Pennsylvanians no longer receive food benefits due to newly imposed requirements under the law. The bill would add $3.4 trillion to the national deficit over the next decade, or $4 trillion when accounting for interest on the national debt.
Foreign aid from the U.S. got cut by more than 60% in the last few years. Atul has compiled a tracker of people who have died as a result of the shutdown of foreign aid. J.F.K. and R.A. K. argue that the United States shouldn't be responsible for taking care of people around the world.
The Boston Tea Party was a rebellion against raw corporate power. The tea being dumped belonged to the British East India Company. The Founders of this nation fought a revolution against a corporation as well as against the British military. The Company controlled most of India, ran the opium trade into China, and dominated global commerce, including North America. It answered to stockholders, the King, and his Parliament. When it faced bankruptcy in 1773, Parliament bailed it out by granting it a monopoly on tea sales in the American colonies.
The world consumed more energy than ever before in 2025. Fossil fuels still supply the vast majority of global energy. President Trump is pushing to expand U.S. oil and natural gas production. The report comes as the conflict with Iran has renewed concerns about energy security and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
El Niño has a chance of developing into a "very strong" event in 2026-27, fuelling heatwaves, flooding and stormier weather. This year's El Niño has already begun to affect crops in India, with some regions only receiving 25% of their usual rainfall. The full impact of the El Niño will take time because of how the cost of climate impact percolates through global food supplies.
