Donald Trump's worst weeks of 2018 – the definitive list
The administration’s base-level awfulness has made this a competitive category but some weeks stood out as truly dire
It would be safe to say Donald Trump hasn’t had the best year. From his longtime adviser flipping on him, to inside revelations about the level of his ineptitude, to being named in court filings as having allegedly directed illegal campaign payments, the president has faced a barrage of scandals.
Trump also lost the House of Representatives, held a number of bizarre press conferences and demonstrated his lack of familiarity with umbrellas. The president did, however, score one recent success, when his neologism “smocking” proved popular.

Democrat-controlled House faces question: what not to investigate?
After two years of a compliant Congress, Trump can expect scrutiny into alleged collusion, obstruction and corruption
When Democrats formally assume the US House majority in January for the first time in eight years, they will contend with a president long dubbed by most members of their party as unfit and unqualified to serve.

Terry McAuliffe turned a red state blue – but is he the face of the future for Democrats?
The Virginia governor is looking at a run for president but more diverse candidates may flourish in a quickly swelling field
Riding a wave of election victories driven by women and minority candidates and voters, the Democratic party now must choose its next standard-bearer, the candidate who would defeat Donald Trump in a 2020 presidential showdown.

Trump refuses to budge on border wall demand as shutdown continues
- Trump tweet blaming Democrats stokes controversy
- Opinion: It’s important to remember: this isn’t normal

Michigan Republicans’ lame-duck drive to hobble Democrats fails – mostly
Bills to strip power from incoming officials failed or were vetoed, but the GOP still made changes that will affect liberal voters

In Trump's America, it's important to remember: this isn't normal | Michael H Fuchs
The breakdown of norms at home undermines democracy, in foreign affairs it undermines security. Americans must hold the president to account
This is not normal.
In the age of President Donald Trump, it is necessary to repeat this mantra constantly. The ways in which Trump breaks norms and shocks the conscience overwhelm America’s capacity to process each event with the appropriate level of outrage and accountability. America’s attention too often moves from one story to the next like sports highlights. Slowly, surely, America’s norms are stripped away.

America’s new year’s resolution: impeach Trump and remove him | Robert Reich
The shutdown, attacks on the judiciary, the politicization of the military. All confirm it: Congress must impeach. Now
After his first bizarre year, Donald Trump’s apologists told us he was growing into the job and that in his second year he would be more restrained and respectful of democratic institutions.

The US government deliberately made the desert deadly for migrants | Natascha Elena Uhlmann
The deaths of two Guatemalan child migrants in US custody highlights the perilousness of a journey that is no accident
This month, Jakelin Caal Maquin, a seven-year-old Guatemalan girl, died less than 48 hours after being detained at a remote New Mexico border crossing. Felipe Gómez Alonzo, an eight-year old Guatemalan boy, spent his final days in custody before tragically passing on Christmas Eve. Both were brought to the United States by families seeking a better life for their children. In the United States, all they found was death.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials have been quick to deflect the blame. “[Jakelin’s] family chose to cross illegally,” Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen asserted. In the case of Felipe, the DHS pointed to migrant shelters in Mexico as possible sources of disease. These desperate attempts do little to obscure the full weight of US culpability.

Employers must prepare for an aging workforce – or face unexpected costs | Gene Marks
Strategies for transitioning older workers towards retirement such as flexible hours and positions are critical for small businesses
The American workforce is getting older. In fact, by 2024 the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that 25% of the US workforce will be composed of workers over the age of 55, and a third of those workers will be older than 65. The reasons, for the most part, are due to the country’s overall ageing population as a result of declining birth rates and better life expectancy. But there’s also something else going on. Employees are not only working longer because they can. They’re working longer because they have to. Retirement savings are just not keeping up.

When it opened for business in 1993 the Ultimate Fighting Championship was designed to disrupt.
Challenging basic conventions about traditional martial arts this is exactly what the UFC did in its opening act, and from that point forward the company has operated at its best approaching the margins where most people would see only chaos and controversy.

'War on transparency': US agency plans crackdown on information requests
Trump administration criticized for trying to make it harder to obtain records of interior department dealings
Trump administration officials took steps on Friday to crack down on transparency at one of the largest US federal agencies, proposing a slew of changes that could make it harder for the public and media to obtain records of agency dealings.
The proposal is part of an effort to grapple with what the interior department describes as an “unprecedented surge” in requests under the Freedom of Information Act (Foia), the United States’ pre-eminent open government law, since 2016 when Donald Trump took office.

Things to watch out for in 2019? Doom and plenty of gloom Larry Elliott
Years ending in ‘9’ always seem to bring upheaval … and it looks like we are in for a hot one in 2019
Call it coincidence if you like but years that end in a “9” have a habit of being eventful. More particularly, they tend to be years of upheaval. There’s 1789, of course, the year of the French Revolution. The Peterloo massacre, which eventually led to the launch of the Guardian, took place in 1819 and a century later there were fears that Bolshevism would spread from Russia westwards.
The year 1939 requires no further explanation while 1979 encompassed the Iranian Revolution and the arrival of Margaret Thatcher in Downing Street. A decade after that, the tearing down of the Berlin Wall heralded the collapse of communism. In 2009, central banks had to pull out all the stops to prevent the deepest recession since the second world war turning into a second Great Depression. The slump against which all others are measured began with the Wall Street crash of October 1929.
