Our doctors ask us questions about our health that eventually reveal something about ourselves we’d rather not admit out loud.  We listen to these people in white gowns anyway, identifying with their secrecy and perhaps even the sadness…

Congress may finally receive the inflation adjustments lawmakers have spent years blocking. But before legislators get a raise, Congress should first do its most important job: budgeting responsibly.  A federal judge recently ruled that Congress likely violated the Constitution’s Twenty-Seventh Amendment by repeatedly canceling automatic cost-of-living adjustments for lawmakers’ pay.

With Game 1 of the 2026 Stanley Cup Final set to go Tuesday night, it has been a long journey for the Carolina Hurricanes to get to this spot. The last time the Hurricanes played for the Stanley Cup was 2006. That was the last time Carolina won the Stanley Cup. The common denominator in all of this is head coach Rod Brind’Amour. Brind’Amour captained the Hurricanes to their only Stanley Cup Championship in franchise history back then. Now 20 years later, he gets the opportunity to hoist the Stanley Cup again, but this time as a coach. Thanks to…

Bobby Scott (D-VA) to condemn a proposed Department of Labor rule floated in March. The rule would give 401(k) plan fiduciaries cover…
