The Supreme Court recently ended affirmative action for institutions of higher education. As we continue to deal with the mental health crisis, a little known consequence of the Supreme Court’s decision is the impact this decision will have on our nation’s mental health process, particularly the potential for creating more problems for our youth.

For the second time in a week, Donald Trump has been indicted. Perhaps he’s Hunter Biden’s lucky charm.

At least 11 GOP senators who voted not to convict Donald Trump during his second impeachment trial in February 2021 referred to him as a “private citizen,” claiming obliquely or explicitly that they didn’t have the power or jurisdiction to convict a man who was no longer president of the grave offenses he openly committed against the country. Alabama’s Richard Shelby’s sentiments were common: “the Constitution speaks of removing a sitting president, not a private citizen.”

If there’s a bet that you will almost always win, it’s that no matter how crass and dishonest a right-wing claim may seem to be, the reality will be worse.

Another day, another criminal indictment of a twice-impeached former president who is shamelessly seeking to return to the White House. But the indictment of Donald Trump returned by a grand jury in Washington, D.C., is especially grave. It focuses not on alleged hush money for an adult-film actress or Trump’s mishandling of sensitive documents, but on his outrageous attempt to cling to power after his defeat in 2020.

Donald J. Trump, once again, has been indicted by Special Counsel Jack Smith and this, as they say, is the big one. It’s much more solid than the nebulous charge of falsifying business records to conceal another crime, as Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg’s state-level indictment is. It’s bigger than already well-evidenced claims, also brought by Smith, that Trump retained and mishandled classified information and then tried to hide that fact and those documents from federal officials.

I called Tony Bennett when a humanitarian crisis loomed. It was 2006 and herders, supported by the Sudanese government, were laying waste to farm villages in Darfur, murdering men and boys and committing heinous atrocities against women. At the time, Tony was in the midst of a remarkable career resurgence, recording duets with Sting and Barbra Streisand and Tim McGraw. But there was no mention of career on our call. “I’ll meet you in New York!” he said, joining Meryl Streep in a campaign I launched called AID DARFUR. He went on to headline two fundraisers for me.

Donald Trump’s new indictment by a grand jury in Washington, D.C., for crimes related to his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, counts as another blow to his reputation.

The Teamsters, as always, are delivering the goods, this time in the form of a labor agreement with UPS as a potential strike threatened to shut down deliveries that undergird large parts of the American economy.

Even with former President Donald Trump indicted a third time, 2024 voters may be leaning his way. Many recent polls have the former president running even with President Joe Biden or taking the lead. Trump’s ability to weather his legal storms have led to comparisons with other politicians who have run for office, often successfully, in the midst of legal troubles. The comparisons matter — but what’s most important for understanding the current moment is the dynamic that links the many examples: us-versus-them.

It was 8:15 on a Monday morning, Aug. 6, 1945. World War II was raging in Japan and across Europe.

The next phase of the Cancer Moonshot, initiated by President Joe Biden in 2022, aims to cut the cancer death rate in half within 25 years.

There’s a major disconnect between what renewable energy backers promised and the current cost of electricity.

A congressional subcommittee met on June 26, 2023, to hear testimony from several military officers who allege the government is concealing evidence of UFOs. By holding a hearing on UFOs – now called “unidentified anomalous phenomena” by government agencies – the subcommittee sought to understand whether these UAPs pose a threat to national security.

Hunter Biden’s plea deal on tax and weapons charges is on life support. Even if it makes a comeback in the coming days, this fiasco remains a stain on the president and the White House.

It’s called artificial intelligence because it was created not by nature but by humans, this gift of ours to robots, computers and other specially designed machines, and some of our species disdain it. They note nature was indeed the genesis of our thinking abilities, our rationality, our insights, our logic and math and science while the simulated, manmade, counterfeit thinking prowess on mechanical display is hooey.

The highly anticipated July 26, 2023, federal court appearance in Delaware by President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, ended in a completely unanticipated way.

It was only a little more than a year ago that President Joe Biden — desperately seeking to divert attention from rampant inflation — was bragging incessantly about his administration’s deficit-cutting skills.
