– New Pew poll shows how unhappy Americans are with US politics
– GOP Senators are unhappy with the new dress code
– Semafor, linking to paywalled Bloomberg, say US may ease some Cuba sanctions:
Washington is set to ease restrictions on Cuba’s private sector in a bid to revive the island nation’s moribund economy that has forced thousands to flee to the United States. The move — a rarity in Washington for having won the backing of both parties — will allow Cuban entrepreneurs to open U.S. bank accounts. Cuba is suffering its worst economic recession since the collapse of the Soviet Union more than three decades ago, with exports down more than 35% compared to last year. Food shortages, power blackouts, and soaring inflation, coupled with a violent crackdown on dissent, have forced record numbers of Cubans to emigrate.
