By the time I understood, water was exploding into the sky and Mr. Streeter’s car was kissing a broken fire hydrant. Nick had simply built his biggest snowman over the hydrant on the edge of our property—right where “cars aren’t supposed to go.” Streeter aimed for his usual shortcut and hit the one boundary that…

Her body was vanishing in plain sight. Every bone ached, every step scraped against a life no one seemed to care about. On that Missouri roadside, she wasn’t a dog, just a forgotten heap of matted fur and quiet suffering. They didn’t name her Pear until they’d uncovered the dog beneath the wreckage. At first,…
The U.S. removal of Nicolás Maduro has sparked sharp debate in Washington, less over Venezuela than over presidential power. Lawmakers questioned how such a major action occurred without Congress, reviving concerns about the balance between Congress and the White House. Sen. Tim Kaine announced plans to force a Senate vote on a “war powers resolution”…
Sheinbaum’s statement did more than criticize Washington; it drew a red line around Mexico’s identity in world affairs.

Tim Walz’s decision to bow out rather than face reelection lands like a confession without words. As federal agencies swarm Minnesota—from DOJ indictments to frozen childcare funds and suspended business loans—the narrative of a “cold, mean” Trump crackdown looks less like moral outrage and more like political damage control. Each raid, audit, and indictment peels…
Zohran Mamdani didn’t inherit power; he weaponized urgency. Standing before a battered Brooklyn walk‑up where tenants had survived years of eviction attempts, he turned a forgotten office into a frontline command: the Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants, revived and re‑armed under organizer Cea Weaver. It was more than a staffing decision. It was a public…
