There's stunning news coming from Great Britain. Liz Truss, the nation's leader for a mere 44 days, has just resigned. It is the shortest stint for someone as Prime Minister in British history.
Truss' economic policies triggered turmoil in financial markets and a rebellion in her own Tory party obliterated her authority. In announcing her resignation today, she said “I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected.”
