Most of my readings are randomly chosen from the newspapers so, I've been reading random articles and these tend to be local news stories whether political or other news. I will focus on political articles once I really build up my fluency when it doesn't take me an hour to read just one simple article. I'm more of an intermediate level speaker/reader at the moment.
I'd still only consider myself intermediate for German, but because English and German have more similarities than English and any of the romance languages, I can muddle through it a bit easier. Plus it helps that a lot of the more specialized words for politics are some that I had learned in other contexts.
