World agog as Trump flails over pandemic despite claims US leads way

The Trump administration has repeatedly claimed that the US is “leading the world” with its response to the pandemic, but it does not seem to be going in any direction the world wants to follow.

It turns out the Republican tax plan is a big wet kiss to corporate offshorers

In case you have not yet heard—for example, if you have been on an extended hiking trip in the wilds of an American landscape that you thought was a national monument, until yesterday when some loudmouthed New York real estate faux-tycoon popped up to declare it wasn’t—it turns out that Republicans may be substantially bamboozling the public as to the contents of their tax bill.
