>That's too broad.

I should probably specify that I meant the US as a polity. I filter titles that mention (america|united states|usa|u\.s\.) or major officials by name. This has done me well so far, and the stories with farreaching consequences have always reached me via several other trusted channels (i.e. friends, family, colleagues, my feed, etc.).

I agree with the rest of your points.
