As the United States braces for another national election, a troubling trend emerges: the growing concentration of power in the presidency. In recent years we've seen an alarming number of executive orders going all the way back to the Obama administration.

The economy will be a top issue for voters and may make the difference this November.

In the wake of the tragic school shooting in Georgia, a somber reflection emerges, underscoring the urgent need for unity and transformative action.

Ultimately, it is through the power of love that we can begin to heal, to listen, and to enact the meaningful reforms necessary to prevent such tragedies from occurring again.

The 2024 U.S. election landscape is shaping up to be a high-stakes financial battle, with Republicans facing a significant fundraising gap against their Democratic counterparts.

In a world where political discourse often feels burdened by divisiveness, one former senator's unorthodox voting decision has sparked a thought-provoking dialogue. Rather than succumbing to the pressure that every vote matters, voters can embrace the multifaceted nature of political expression and choose how to use their vote.
