In their haste to play politics, these governors should have taken a closer look at history – their own pandemic histories. Gov. Hochul should also be hoping New York voters do not take close look at a scandal that has still not been fully revealed.

One evening, after dark, Dad was coming home from combining soybeans at the McNary Farm. He was on the road from Carmel to Cynthiana, coming up the hill from Heads Branch. We got a call at home. The crankshaft had broken in the engine, and he needed me to come with the John Deere and pull him home.  

I am comforted by this Bible passage in difficult times: "By your perseverance, you will secure your lives." (Luke 21:19.)  Another translation is, "You will be saved by being faithful to me (Jesus)." 

Van Riper continues to live a life worthy of the Marines’ high standard. He is determined to remain engaged and optimistic. Longtime friend and neighbor Gen. Zinni says it best: “There are a few ways to look at what you do in life. You can see it as a job. You can see it as a profession. For Rip, being a Marine was a calling.”

This Veterans Day, we show our gratitude and recommit to honor their service, uphold their legacy, and give every veteran the loyalty, respect, and support they have earned and so dearly deserve.

Veterans Day is a time for all Americans to honor and remember this truth. While we can never fully repay our former service members, we can keep our promises to them. That is a solemn responsibility to the more than 200,000 proud veterans who call The Natural State home.

After 40 days of continuously filibustering Republicans’ Continuing Resolution to reopen the government, Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H.; Maggie Hassan, D-N.H.; Tim Kaine, D-Va.; Jacky Rosen, D-Nev.; and Dick Durbin, D-Ill; joined Republicans and Sens. John Fetterman, D-Pa.; Angus King, I-Maine; and Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev.; to advance an updated version of the bill.

While the House of Representatives has understandably been quiet during the government shutdown, not everyone has been idle. While most members of Congress were home in their districts, Rep. Troy Balderson, an Ohio Republican, quietly introduced a short, potentially consequential piece of energy legislation called “The Affordable, Reliable, Clean Energy Security Act.”

U.S. employers announced 153,074 job cuts in October – the worst October since 2003 – and headlines rushed to blame AI. Fair question: were the recent layoffs really caused by AI? Mostly, no.

I love the dirt. I am at home in the dirt. I look down at my dirt-covered hands and I am proud of the way they reflect the joy of my work, their aging wrinkles and creases perfectly etched.

There is no way to sugarcoat Tuesday night’s results. If Republicans hope to have any chance of retaining control of the House, they must immediately pivot on several key issues.

The Supreme Court of Ohio honors veterans for their sacrifice to this country not only in November, but year-round through a variety of programs, resources, and exhibits.

Democrats want to muddy the water to make this shutdown look deep. Here's the reality: Republicans have voted more than a dozen times to reopen the government — with no strings attached — at the same funding levels that Democrats previously supported.

I say this to my Democratic friends: put the political games aside and join us in voting to reopen the government for the American people.

For years, New York’s leaders have failed to address too many of the city’s problems with serious policy or the urgency they demand. It was only a matter of time before that failure drove New Yorkers toward the false promise of socialism, something that should serve as a warning across America.
