Karen Batchelor's discovery of her eligibility for the Daughters of the American Revolution was surprising, given the organization's long history of racism and elitism.

Tonika Lewis Johnson's Folded Map Project connects residents known as 'map twins' who live on the same street name but miles apart, revealing structural inequality and personal commonality.

One out of five adults in this country experience some type of mental health symptoms every year. Fielder's situation reflects a common struggle that deserves understanding and respect.

Clearly there's a disagreement of strategy here. The business-as-usual calculation for what is going to be successful in a given election cycle does not necessarily, in my view, meet the moment.

"Mr. Buria told Mr. Driscoll that President Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events," the Times reported, citing three unnamed officials familiar with the exchange.

Bronx politics has changed dramatically over the past 20 years. Since 2006, only Carl Heastie, Jeff Dinowitz, and maybe Jose M. Serrano remain elected. The demographic shift is evident, with areas like Throggs Neck and Morris Park now represented by Latino women, reflecting a growing Latino population, particularly Dominicans.

Hegseth removed two female and two Black officers' names from a one-star promotion list, even though he's really not explicitly allowed to do so.

We're going to have to really be on a road to committing to the American people that when they need a doctor, they will get one. I am very much a proponent of Medicare for all. I understand from all pragmatic sensibilities that may not happen in our lifetime, but courageous Democrats need to be pushing towards care for all, for every single person in this country, regardless of their status.

Why do people preemptively, continually, mistake kindness for weakness? By 'people,' he means, at this moment, me. I had just brought up the festering concern, expressed by fans and critics alike, that he is simply too nice to win the presidency. Booker has been trying to convince me that he's tough enough for this uncivil American era-that a pathologically genial New Jersey Democrat who preached love in his (mostly unloved) 2020 campaign could, if called to, knock a guy on his ass.

That was my freshman bill. The following year, the state passed my bill to expand housing assistance vouchers from three to six months for people released from prison.

Pelosi outlined her groundbreaking journey from housewife to House Speaker a powerful position second in line of succession to the president. She is now retiring from Congress after nearly 40 years representing San Francisco.

White genocide' Carl is a right-wing firebrand who played a minor role in the first Trump administration and has more recently gained, depending on your vantage, kudos or notoriety for his theory that Anti-White Racism Is Tearing America Apart, as his book's subtitle puts it. He believes, for example, that a White genocide is underway and endorses the Great Replacement Theory (according to which elites in America and Europe are intentionally encouraging immigration to replace indigenous whites).

Last week- after the Wall Street Journal broke more news about the Trump family's dodgy crypto-business dealings and before the President shared a racist video of the Obamas depicted as dancing apes-the Amazon entrepreneur Jeff Bezos decided that one of his smaller properties, the Washington Post, has proved such a drag on his two-hundred-and-thirty-billion-dollar fortune that prudence required that he obliterate much of its newsroom.

Zoom in: Last week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom stumbled when conservative influencer Ben Shapiro pressed him on the topic on Newsom's podcast. "The question that you're not wanting to answer ... is whether boys can become girls," Shapiro said. "Yeah, I just, well, I think, uh, for the grace of God," Newsom replied.

Craig reportedly confronted Emmer about the recent murder of 37-year-old queer mother of three Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis. The video shows Craig approaching Emmer, forcefully gesturing and pointing at him as she speaks. He speaks over her, also gesturing and leaning towards her. Even after two men separate them, they continue speaking, gesturing, and leaning in passionately. Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN) eventually pulled Craig back to separate them.

The bills are strikingly clean,
