"I have a career, family and friends in the UK. My whole life is in the UK," she said, expressing her distress over the situation.

The cycle of dread and panic, of being driven to the edge at full speed before someone slams the brakes, harms our nervous systems, and has the potential to break our spirits.

Younger generations have lost faith in American institutions due to nearly two decades of economic turmoil, which has led to a significant rise in populism across the United States.

Trump's joke about blaming JD Vance if Iran negotiations fail underscored the administration's harsh stance on failure, setting a high-stakes environment for Vance's diplomatic efforts.

Political orthodoxy tells us that younger voters tend to be more progressive on issues like immigration. But in recent years, Europe has seen anti-migrant parties surge in the polls and gain youth support across the continent.

President Donald Trump's MAGA movement suffers from an excess of morality. On no issue is that more apparent, and more self-damaging, than immigration. That claim likely would strike both the right and the left as absurd. The former sees itself as hard-nosed realists who will do whatever necessary to take back their nation. And the latter doesn't see much MAGA morality in Minneapolis, where this weekend immigration officers again shot dead a disruptive protester, the second this month.
