New York City can’t afford big pensions and free buses | Allison Schrager

New York City can’t afford big pensions and free buses | Allison Schrager

    Cities such as New York and Chicago are in deep financial trouble. Broadly speaking, they have two options: Make the difficult but appropriate choice to raise taxes and reduce the scale of government, or continue to live in a state of denial, increasing their pension obligations while also p…

            The 10-day Artemis II mission represents a defining moment in modern exploration. Four astronauts went further into space than any crew in history as they looped the moon. It is a daring yet disciplined mission, one that signals not just ambition, but preparation for a sustained human presen…

            🎧 From sports apps to election forecasts, the hosts discuss how expanding betting options influence decision-making, encourage risky habits and blur distinctions between entertainment and serious outcomes.

            An AI threat looms, and we are not prepared | Juhyun Nam

              The leaders of the world’s leading artificial intelligence (AI) companies — OpenAI, Google Deepmind, Anthropic — signed a letter in 2023 warning of the existential risks emerging from AI. It included this declaration:

                Why Trump's antics don't work on America's allies | Jonah Goldberg

                  It is among the most familiar patterns of the Trump era. First, the president says or does something weird, rude or otherwise norm-defying. Some elected Republicans object, and the response from Trump and his minions is to shoot the messenger. The dynamic holds constant whether it's big (Jan…

                  Counties with the most gun deaths

                    In total, 45,221 deaths in 2020 were gun-related, which is a 14% increase over the prior year and a 43% increase over a decade before. Overall, gun-related deaths constitute a majority of both homicides and suicides in the U.S.

                      Yes, he talks like a Brooklyn tough guy, but U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders is a resident of Vermont, America's most rural and most white state. That he fled New York City nearly 60 years ago seems lost on current Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his fellow socialists. Then again, Mamdani hasn't been arou…

                      Court rulings against Trump prove our democracy still works | Boston Herald

                        It must have been a confounding day for No Kings protesters. Their placards at rallies held around the country decry President Donald Trump’s “authoritarian regime” and the “fascism” under which Americans now live. They’ve blasted the ballroom Trump was building adjacent to the White House.

                          Gasoline prices have increased more than $1 a gallon during the last month, as President Donald Trump’s war with Iran continues. As a result, many consumer staples that rely on diesel-fueled trucks to reach store shelves are more costly. Food prices are climbing, in part due to a logjam of g…

                            As the use of artificial intelligence accelerates, several state legislatures and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders are calling for a pause on the development of AI data centers. They worry about lost jobs for working people and the potential dangers of superintelligence.

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...

                            The recent article on the Virginia Virtual Academy was unfair to the school and unfair to the many parents and families across the state of Virginia that continue to choose to enjoy the flexibility VAVA offers. It would have provided a more accurate representation if you would have spoken to more VAVA families. We love VAVA, and it has been a wonderful school for our family over the past 12 years. Parents and families from across the Commonwealth would’ve told you very different stories.

                            Letter: Morrissey opinion piece is disingenuous

                            Mr. Joe Morrissey’s opinion piece in the RTD of March 31 cries out for negative criticism. He does explain the good reasons why good people should never support gerrymandering. Indeed, he is correct, except he never mentions that President Trump’s push for gerrymandering in Texas and elsewhere is the reason why a “Yes" vote is now urgent in Virginia.

                            Letter: Cheating is cheating, no matter who is doing it

                            Letter: Cheating is cheating, no matter who is doing it

                            It is a rare thing when I agree with Joe Morrissey on anything (this may be a first). As an Independent voter for over 50 years, his extreme views and actions over those years have not resonated well with me. However, his op-ed in the RTD of March 31 is a keeper. The current Virginia “special” referendum to redraw congressional districts to favor Democrats 10-1 is patently un-Virginian and un-American, especially considering that Virginia voters passed a non-partisan referendum on re-drawing the districts just five years ago!
