Who says there are no second acts in American lives?
Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, a native of Chicago who is now the first American-born pope, has spent most of his career outside of the U.S, ministering to the dispossessed and marginalized.
The “Latin Yankee,” as he is known in Rome, worked 20 years in Peru.

This is true: The Trump administration said it has imposed a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory, whose only inhabitants are the U.S. and U.K. service members at the military base on Diego Garcia.

We tariffed BIOT, Mike.
BIOT. Diego fucking Garcia.
We tarrifed our own military base.
