The accused murderer broke down during his testimony describing the fatal shooting of the first of three victims. The inflation rate has tripled since last year, putting gas, food, and stocks further out of reach.
A patent dispute over the Moderna shot could have serious ramifications for the future distribution of the mRNA vaccine. The progressive San Francisco district attorney is the latest California political figure to face an expensive recall effort.
The NRA helped draft, but then savagely opposed, a modest bill after Sandy Hook and never turned back from extremism.
The popular New Hampshire governor was a key part of the formula for a Republican takeover of the Senate in Now it gets tougher for the GOP. Congress is tangled in interlocking bills and delayed crises. Should I tip at Starbucks and ice cream parlors too? Been to America a few times and eating out is so awkward.
The fakeness of it all because it's tips-based is very off-putting. Keep it down! Foreigners think Americans are too loud—especially on their phones.
The bus, train, parks, etc. And then you go on your way. We drive too much: Foreigners are shocked by US car culture, including how much Americans drive and the long distances we will travel without blinking an eye. I'm not even talking urban transportation and metro lines. There are real and psychological distances that make walking in the suburbs impossible.
