CNN  —  When she took the keys to 10 Downing Street in the wake of Boris Johnson’s political demise, Liz Truss promised to “ride out the storm” of Britain’s economic crisis. Just over six weeks later, she was engulfed by a hurricane of her own making. It was a humiliating end to a calamitous premiership marked by failed economic policies and a deeply divided ruling party. How did it come to this? Here are the lowlights – and lowerlights – of Truss’ term as Britain’s shortest-serving prime minister. Truss is declared the winner of the Conservative Party leadership contest on…

London CNN  —  Even by recent standards, Thursday was a jaw-dropping day in British politics. Liz Truss, a born-again Brexiteer who took over from Boris Johnson a mere six weeks ago, announced that she was to resign. In her wake, she leaves an economic crisis precipitated by a “growth plan” full of unfunded tax cuts, and a Conservative Party that may be in office, but is most certainly not wielding much power. It is hard to overstate just how much impact Truss’ accession to the top job had on British politics in such a short space of time. Her radical…

Tesla buyers may be able to take advantage of new federal tax credits for electric vehicles next year, the automaker’s executives said Wednesday.

Tesla’s eligibility for the previous tax credits ended in Jan. 2020 when it hit the 200,000 limit on vehicles sold per automaker.

Tesla is waiting for the US Treasury to publish detailed guidance by the end of the year.…

The day I married my husband, I knew there would be a permanent space existing between us — a vacancy, barren, from the activities we’d never enjoy together. An extremely active person, he had thru-hiked the Appalachian trail in 2001. Only a few years later, my immune system attacked my nervous system, leaving me a far cry from the young woman I once was, and just in time to meet my now husband. A disabling disease had taken over, but it would take me 13 years to receive a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. “I’ll never go hiking with you,” I…
