The product of years of Republican effort, the American tax code now blends traditional supply-side economics with President Trump’s populist 2024 campaign promises.

Even as President Trump has pointed the Republican party’s tax agenda in a more populist direction, the new law is in many ways the apotheosis of a traditionally conservative, supply-side philosophy.

England v India: second men’s cricket Test, day three – live

Mohammad Siraj is on a hat-trick!

Siraj loses his run-up twice before bowling his first delivery. Losing your run-up is bad, losing Joe Root is a whole lot worse. He’s gone to Shami’s third ball, caught down the leg side by the diving Pant! Root can’t believe his luck. He flicked at a poor delivery, on the pads, and got a little tickle that was snaffled gleefully by Pant. That’s a big wicket. Huge. Massive. Massive!

Slayer review – spectacle, gore, mayhem and some of metal’s greatest songs

4 juillet 2025 à 12:11

Blackweir Fields, Cardiff
The thrash legends’ first UK gig in six years is a lean and unforgivingly mean set – no breathers, no ballads, only teeth-rattling bangers

‘Forty years ago, dude. Duuuuude,” Tom Araya exhales, reflecting on Slayer’s maiden, gob-spackled UK show at London’s Marquee Club in 1985. They were just kids then, on the verge of becoming the most belligerent force in thrash metal’s “big four” with Reign in Blood, but time hasn’t dulled their blade. The bassist-vocalist’s mane might be streaked with grey as he addresses the heaving pit but he still has bile to spare, immediately calling up a take on War Ensemble fit to loosen teeth a dozen rows from the front.

Orbiting their contribution to Black Sabbath’s forthcoming final show in Birmingham, this is Slayer’s first UK date in six years after a final tour that, not unsurprisingly given metal’s spotty record in this regard, wasn’t so final after all. There’s little sense of a sheepish re-emergence, though, with a lengthy video package on the history of the band teeing up South of Heaven’s inimitable riff, which is immediately in the throats of the crowd before drummer Paul Bostaph’s double-kick sparks kinetic mayhem.

4 juillet 2025 à 12:00
Traffic congestion is reaching crisis levels across Canada’s largest urban regions, threatening the economy and eroding quality of life for millions. From Toronto’s notorious Highway 401 bottleneck — costing commuters over three million hours of delay each year — to traffic jams in Montreal and Vancouver, the country’s major corridors are consistently among the worst in North America.

Charred chimneys are all that’s left of these LA midcentury homes. Inside the quest to save them

4 juillet 2025 à 12:00

A piece of history burned down in the Los Angeles wildfires. Project Chimney is salvaging what’s left to honor the architecture – and eventually create a memorial

By mid-morning last Thursday, Evan Hall was standing near the top of Monument Street in Los Angeles’s Pacific Palisades, looking out over the Pacific Ocean. He was running out of time.

Hall stood in the charred ruins of a 1953 home designed by the modernist architect Richard Neutra. Beside him, a handful of hard-hat-clad preservationists, masons and construction workers all looked up at the same thing: a chimney.

J.D. Tuccille: NYC mayor hopeful’s stated goal is ‘seizing the means of production’

4 juillet 2025 à 12:00
American politics often seem to balance themselves out in the worst possible way. Even as the GOP sheds its last vestiges of affection for limited government and free markets, the opposition Democrats openly embrace bigotry and crazy economic nostrums. Case in point: the rise in New York City of Zohran Mamdani, an avowed socialist who flirts with antisemitism, to represent the Democratic Party in this year’s mayoral election. Read More

‘Such a kind kid’: former neighbours and all Portugal grieve for Diogo Jota

4 juillet 2025 à 11:43

From residents of Gondomar, where the footballer grew up, to the president a country has been engulfed by sorrow

Ana Oliveira can barely get through a sentence before breaking down in tears. She has lived most of her life across the street from Diogo Jota’s family home in Gondomar, a small city on the outskirts of Porto in northern Portugal. The sorrow that has engulfed the nation since the Liverpool forward’s death is felt particularly acutely there.

Ana can still picture Diogo clearly as a boy, dropping his backpack after school and spending hours kicking a ball against the wall of his house. His younger brother, André Silva – who perished in the same car crash in northern Spain on Thursday – quickly followed in his footsteps, sharing his love for the game. The brothers would often invite Ana’s brother, Ângelo, for a quick match in the street before dinner.
