                              🎧 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.

                              St. Louis Post-Dispatch: 'Ghost gun' in CEO's murder highlights an industry custom-made for crime

                              Why is Congress protecting untraceable weapons?

                              STRICTLY OBSERVING: Simply the Best

                              Seeing Tina: The Tina Turner Musical on Easter Sunday at the beautiful, brand-new Tanger Center in Greensboro, NC was something of a religious experience for die-hard Tina Turner fans. It wasn’t so much that Ari Groover looked or sounded like The Queen of Rock and Roll. It was more that she …

                              Progress is being made in combatting sex discrimination in the workforce, but there are concerns gender-affirming care for minors. Learn more on the Utterly Moderate podcast.

                              Congress suddenly remembers it has ethics rules | Mary Ellen Klas

                              The resignations of three members of Congress over misconduct allegations demonstrate that the U.S. House — which most Americans think can’t get its act together — not only has the capacity to hold members accountable, but can also do so rapidly. At least, when it wants to.

                              At 250, America needs its faith leaders to help heal divisions | Victor Ghalib Begg

                              As the United States approaches its 250th birthday on July 4, 2026, the nation faces a defining question: How do we celebrate this milestone at a time of deep division?

                              Will the Senate be up for grabs come November? | Las Vegas Review-Journal

                              If prediction markets are any indication, Democrats are heavy favorites to take the House in November, with a likelihood approaching 85%. That’s no surprise. Republicans have a tiny four-vote majority in the chamber, and the president’s party historically struggles in midterm balloting.

                              Letter: Raccuia got a raw deal from Bills owner Pegula

                              To say I was shocked was a really good understatement when I read that Ron Raccuia was “fired” (yes, fired without explanation) from the Buffalo Bills, and without any real public explanation as to why. Here’s a man who probably is solely responsible for not only bringing the new stadium to Orchard Park but keeping the Bills here for the next 30 years or so (with a shout-out to Gov. Kathy Hochul and Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz). So why did the Bills send him to the curb after this? I’m sure many other Bills fans want to know why. What am I missing here?

                              LETTER: Sheriff Andis’ statements reckless and irresponsible

                              At a Meet and Greet event hosted by the Washington County Democratic Committee in the Tyler Magisterial District on Sunday, May 1, Sheriff Blake Andis falsely asserted that three students had overdosed on gummies at Abingdon High School the previous week.

                              LETTER: Decisions on abortion need to be returned to women, not the states

                              Morgan Griffith wants Roe v. Wade overturned so that control over abortion can be returned to the “states and the people.”

                              I read with interest an article outlining the possible extension of Amtrak passenger rail service to Southwest Virginia.
