Back in 1969, President Richard Nixon warned Congress against the rapid growth of the American population: "When future generations evaluate the record of our time, one of the most important factors in their judgment will be the way in which we responded to population growth."

For more than four decades, I have navigated life while managing a chronic disease. This experience comes with countless appointments, trying new medicines and learning to be my own advocate in a health system that can feel overwhelming for patients.
Imagine you are sick with a serious medical condition. How would you feel if someone constantly told you to buy their product because it would cure you, but this “cure” is actually worse than other treatments, and the price tag is enormous?

At a moment when many schools increasingly blur the line between education and activism, the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools is attempting something unfashionable: protecting classrooms as places of open inquiry rather than ideological instruction.
America’s political landscape has become a stinking mess. More and more states are joining the race to the bottom to gerrymander away the power of their voters.
In 1788, Virginia convened a convention to debate ratification of the new U.S. Constitution, promulgated in Philadelphia the year before.
Margareta Magnusson was an artist in Stockholm who wrote a bestselling book, "The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning." Decluttering, the removal of unnecessary items from our living spaces, had already become an international obsession. That was doubly so for Americans, whose large houses …
Americans who might agree on little else share a common interest in preserving Social Security and Medicare.
Last week I was helping some people clean up a building after a large social event. Among the other volunteers were a mother with her daughter and her daughter’s friend, both about 10 years old. I’ll call them Nina and Elsa.
As a progressive economist, I wrote a paper in 2021 with a generally conservative colleague, Kevin Hassett, who now directs the National Economic Council in the Trump White House. We agreed then on the basic arithmetic of the American retirement crisis.
🎧 The hosts examine how personalized feeds amplify conflict, bury progress and leave citizens exhausted and polarized, reinforcing a distorted picture of society that feels broken and perpetually on edge.
Why is Congress protecting untraceable weapons?

Long gone are the days where impulse buying meant grabbing an unplanned candy bar or magazine in the checkout line. Now, social media makes it quick and easy for us to purchase just about anything with the click of a button, whether or not it’s in the budget. And for some Americans, it’s hurting them...
Black Friday is fast approaching, and shoppers are gearing up. The National Retail Federation expects more than 183 million people to shop over the weekend spanning Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday this year. But fraudsters are preparing for Black Friday too, looking for opportunities to steal your money or personal information. Before you dive into holiday...
Holiday shopping season is upon us, and the pressure is on, or at least it feels that way for some parents. A new NerdWallet survey, conducted by The Harris Poll, finds that 48% of parents with children under 18 feel pressure to spend more money on holiday gifts than they’re comfortable spending.According to NerdWallet’s annual...
The MAGA U.S. senators have just proved to me that the so called White House Correspondents Dinner shooting was fake! They are proposing a bill that would use $1 billion in taxpayer money to fund Trump's gaudy, unwanted ballroom because of the so-called "secret" presidential bunker. News flash: It's not a secret! We all know Trump doesn't know the meaning of the word secret. The bunker isn't needed. There has been a presidential bunker since at least the Cold War, if not WWII. He doesn't like it because its not all new and shiny! Trump said the ballroom was going to be funded completely by private donations and no taxpayer money. Plus the cost keeps going up. First it was $300 million, then $400 million, and now apparently $1 billion. I couldn't have seen that coming. Oh wait, I could.
I continue to be amazed by the confusion surrounding what public comments means during City Council meetings. The First Amendment does protect freedom of speech, but it does not give any individual the right to make accusations or derogatory comments toward council members or the mayor during a council meeting in violation of decorum and council procedures.
Republicans sit in Des Moines and wonder why people leave Iowa. They just need to look at legislation passing to the governor. State overreach is becoming ridiculous; restriction of local IDs, controlling high school curriculum, limiting screen time and foot stomping about flag lowering for pro-assault rifle sexist racists. Add in the dumb ideas of passing out horse dewormer and requiring supermajority to pass tax hikes for the rich. They eliminate police officer bias training while insuring no diversity programs in the state and take food assistance away from refugees. Make Iowa white again? Still not as bad as what we are seeing federally. Everything I told you MAGA morons about this administration is true. Every campaign promise a lie. Trump wipes his behind with the Constitution, most recently changing what he calls war. Your pedophile protector now wants a $1 billion for his free $100 million ballroom while you pay higher gas prices, more expensive utilities, groceries. Airlines are going broke midflight. Now we have our new pandemic on the horizon. CDC is gutted. Kennedy is useless. Oz is not a credible doctor. Passengers from the hantavirus-infected ship in five U.S. states. Déjà vu over again.
I am writing to express concern over the University of Northern Iowa's request to the Board of Regents to raze the former Alumni House. In recent years, we've seen a troubling pattern of historic campus buildings being allowed to deteriorate to the point where demolition becomes the only option. The 2024 demolition of the historic West Gymnasium is a clear example.
