Texas abortion debacle: Deny women rights at your peril

Recently, former Baltimore Sun reporter, “The Wire” creator and editorialist-at-heart David Simon announced on Twitter that his newest TV project, a nonfiction miniseries “based on events in Texas” won't be filmed in the Lone Star State.

Instagram is no place for kids

Social media is a minefield of adolescent anxieties, as any parent can attest. Numerous studies have suggested a connection between excessive use of online platforms (and the devices used to access them) and worrying trends in teenage mental health, including higher rates of depressive symptoms, reduced happiness and an increase in suicidal thoughts.

Let science lead way on COVID booster shots

The Biden administration got ahead of the science last month in proposing to make all Americans vaccinated against COVID-19 eligible for a booster shot. That's why it was good to see a federal advisory panel last week reassert the role that data and critical thinking must play in managing this pandemic.

While the nation sinks deeper into debt, the rich keep evading taxes

A new Treasury Department report finds that the United States is losing $163 billion per year because of tax evasion by the top 1 percent of earners. The story is mind-numbingly familiar: phenomenally rich people finding new and creative ways to boost their wealth even more by cheating the rest of the responsible, taxpaying public.

To stop Texas abortion law, Congress has to act

For nearly half a century, the federal courts could be counted on to protect women and their constitutional right to a safe and legal abortion. The U.S. Supreme Court affirmed in four major rulings - starting with Roe v.
