American inspections of foreign food facilities — which produce everything from crawfish to cookies for the U.S. market — have plummeted to historic lows this year, a ProPublica analysis of federal data shows. Via @anniewaldman.bsky.social @bxroberts.org www.propublica.org/article/fore...
A chart showing foreign food inspections from January to December. Multiple gray lines representing past years move upward from 0 to over 1,500 inspections. One red line, representing 2025, rises slower than most others, reaching about 560 inspections in July 2025.

We asked 500 manufacturing workers what they thought about President Trump’s wide-reaching tariffs www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...
22 percent say tariffs will help, 21 percent have no impact and 57 percent say tariffs will hurt. “My industry deals in copper, aluminum and steel. All these come from overseas partners.” “Higher costs affect our bottom line and that could affect sales, which could trigger a round of layoffs.”
