Catholic Charities is a leader in humane treatment of women, children and refugees. He was bound to go after them sooner or later.

Our @memorialblanket.bsky.social works closely with local offices of Catholic Charities - it is frustrating to think they are losing support for their important work.

Imagine being Prince Andrew and you're in jail. But your brother goes to visit a guy who is mentioned 30,000 times more often in the same mess.

That's got to hurt a bro's feelings, just sayin'.

What if Europe waited out the Iran war and promised to help the nation rebuild and recover - as a bargaining tool for opening the Strait?

How would that work? And if it wouldn't, why not? Sugar is so much more appealing than vinegar.

I find this fascination with nostalgia - well, fascinating.

About .0001 percent of people lament the loss of office typewriters. Technology moves on and so do the demands on our skill sets. Imagine if we insisted on typing classes so that kids wouldn't forget carriage return!

Fascinating.

Gupta: If we’re making choices, we’re making a clear choice right now about how to spend $200 billion over three months. That money could very easily be repurposed to fund a public option and provide healthcare to everyone in the United States who needs it for years.

It was a joy to interview each and every one of the people that I got to speak with for this story.

Rep Andre Carol - a 35 year old man who grew up going to public school, with a dad in prison, is now a lawmaker working to change the lives of young everyday Pennsylvanians.

Dodgers’ White House visit won’t be part of April road trip to D.C. Scheduling complications mean the team likely won’t be honored by the President for its 2025 World Series championship until an East Coast trip during the summer.

Oh wow. The Dodgers aren’t going to the White House when they play the Nationals in early April. According to Bill Plunkett, a separate trip will be planned for the summer. IMO this is pretty smart to not go right now, of all times to not go. www.ocregister.com/2026/03/11/d...

OPINION: Why Is There No Anti-War Movement in the US? - Bucks County Beacon For the sake of Iranians, the Middle East, and working people in the United States, we’d better start building one as soon as possible.

Where's the anti-war movement? Americans struggle, fighting every last atrocity at home, every right usurped, that we've got little time left to oppose the slaughter of little girls and the escalating death count of our troops. #preoccupied #congressdoyourjob
