The Milky Way will be most visible from May 20 to May 30, 2025, as dark skies return with the new moon. Stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere can see the galaxy’s bright band in the early morning, away from city lights.
In Washington a young couple, soon to be engaged, lost their lives to a senseless act of violence motivated by hatred. This story bears witness to the human cost when the sanctity of life is abandoned and religious divides deepen wounds that should be healed.
While Wall Street cashed in, private equity left workers jobless and communities gutted. Toys R Us kids grew up to find their stores gone and parents out of work, all so Bain, KKR, and the Carlyle Group could get paid first. This is what it costs when bankers win.
Beneath the surface of a thousand pages, Congress has penned a quiet undoing, the power of America’s courts blunted with a hidden clause, threatening to unmoor justice and erode the fragile center of our democracy.
In the polite stampede of commerce, who would suspect the cows themselves were only ever shadows?

Washington’s latest blood sport is in full swing as Senate Democrats plot vengeance against Republicans hell-bent on gutting California’s emission waivers, rules the Senate parliamentarian just declared untouchable.

The rulebook is dead. Who’s next?
Senate Democrats plan procedural retaliation after Republicans move to overturn California’s emission waiver rule, defying the parliamentarian and GAO guidance.
