DAPA and Brexit: Is the Left up to the challenge? | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: This election will be a demonstration of Donald Trump's manifest unfitness for office (or even the CEO position in his own company). It is good that David Cameron resigned, as the Brexit vote was as much about his austerity regime as it was the E.U. Of course, the problem is the Tories as a whole, not just Cameron. The Brits were only half in the E.U. as it was, having never adopted the Euro - not that the Euro without a continent-wide debt and income tax regimen was any good thing. This is a wake up call for the continent, who needs its own Hamilton.

We dodged a bullet in 2014. The immigration bill was not the one we needed. It was much too punitive and I am glad it did not pass. The challenge of both gun control and immigration reform is to win in both houses of Congress and pass real progressive legislation - one with courage on guns and no punitive measures on immigration.
