                              🎧 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?

                              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.

                              A promising path to a bipartisan fix of Social Security emerges | San Diego Union-Tribune

                              The need to reform Social Security — to keep by far the most important government assistance program solvent — has long been obvious.

                              Supreme Court's conservative majority weakens the rule of law | Devon Ombres

                              In its 2025-26 term, the U.S. Supreme Court continued to weaken the Constitution in its quest to aggrandize itself and the presidency while diminishing Congress.

                              Supreme Court favors a colorblind society, dings the deep state | Chris Talgo

                              The U.S. Supreme Court recently concluded its 236th annual term after hearing 74 cases and holding 58 oral arguments. In most cases, the nine justices did not reach unanimous agreement. Likewise, the public reaction to many of these rulings was mixed. Even scholars and academics disagreed vehemently on many decisions.

                              The gig economy should help save Social Security | Kathryn Anne Edwards

                              The Social Security trust fund will run out of money by late 2032, according to an annual report last month. The specific date is new, but the overall trend is not: Social Security’s long-run imbalance was first projected in 1985. Even for Congress, ignoring 41 years of warnings about a problem that is both consequential and easy to fix is breathtaking.

                              Letter: Raccuia got a raw deal from Bills owner Pegula

                              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.”

                              LETTER: Passenger rail extension isn’t just about Bristol

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