You are sitting at your desk in the world’s most famous workplace. Day after day, you are feeling like your supremely skilled experts somehow just managed to paint you into yet another corner in your unique Oval Office.
Congress should consider national system to deter disruptive, dangerous behavior
Critics can’t agree on what “woke” means. Going back a bit into our history is the idea of Black people being “woke” from the oppression of the white man and what we, as a society, can do about it. But the term has been appropriated for a variety of left-wing causes.
Before I had kids, I can remember thinking, as I watched a mom struggling with her toddler in the grocery store: I won’t ever find myself in such a predicament. I’ve read a ton about effective parenting strategies. I will know what to do. It’s simple.
The ministers of morality might want to address the 'wacky wabbit'
Biden’s 3.2% increase is a cut in real terms despite rising threats
Agreement would encourage sustainable fisheries and reduce marine pollution
The elderly woman looked determined as she walked slowly toward the voter registration desk, her three-pronged cane punctuating her fortitude. She was there to vote, and nothing -- not her age-weakened legs or her failing hearing -- would get in her way. She was among the many voters we encountered as we worked the polls in the November 2022 elections.
Daylight saving time from spring to fall provides many advantages for most of the year.
Most people hate springing forward and falling back every year. Moving clocks ahead one hour in March only to return them to their previous settings in November wastes time — literally.
Former President Donald Trump lost an important round with the Justice Department recently, when the department chose to file a brief not taking his side in the fight over his responsibility for the Jan. 6 riots. The department generally takes a broad view of executive privilege. But even a broad view has limits.
Selma slander misrepresents reality
The Republican majority in the House isn’t even two months old, but it’s already clear that Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s attempt to mollify his party’s extremist faction risks hurting the country without guaranteeing the thing he wants most: to keep his job as House leader.
More than 30 million Americans — that’s one in 11 of us — have diabetes.
In my life as a rabbi, it’s common for me to hear Jews passionately expressing their dissatisfaction with the latest portrayal of Jews in the mass media: from the Netflix film “You People” to The New York Times coverage of Hasidic schools to Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s gleeful promotion of Jewish anti-LGBTQ influencer Chaya Raichik.
The housing lobby wins again, but taxpayers could lose in a recession.
“Our coach is a woman!” is one of the first texts I received from a friend about my 7-year-old son’s soccer team this past fall.
The unintentional shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in 2021 on the set of the film “Rust” in New Mexico is tragic. But not all tragedies translate to criminal behavior and being accused of a crime.
We can all agree that Alec Baldwin did not mean to kill cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, leaving her husband a widower and her then-9-year-old son motherless. He should not be, and was not, charged with murder. But nor should this killing be brushed off as an accident, a tragedy of working with superstars in which a family’s only hope is to squeeze some money out in civil proceedings.
Note to politicians with presidential aspirations: Joining the Cabinet makes the path that much harder. Just ask Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
It would have been shocking had Fox News lied about the 2020 election being stolen from Donald Trump because the management and stars believed that nonsense. It would have been shocking had Fox known the truth but passed on lies in the belief that only Trump could save the country.
As much as Americans cherish free speech, First Amendment freedoms aren’t absolute
As disconcerting as the U.S.’s current debt situation is, the outlook is even worse. When the bipartisan Congressional Budget Office updated its forecasts this month, it estimated that debt held by the public will climb to $46 trillion by 2033 from $31 trillion currently. This puts the country one step closer to the dreaded “debt bomb“ scenario, which would make today’s battle over whether to raise the $31 trillion debt ceiling look quaint in comparison.
History isn't kind to one-term presidents, at least in the short run.
