Former President George W. Bush suggested the Republican Party needed to reach out to a more diverse coalition of voters if it wanted to come back into power. 'If you Republican Party stands for exclusivity—you know, it used to be country clubs, now evidently it's white Anglo-Saxon Protestantism—then it's not going to win anything,' Bush said in an interview with The Dispatch podcast last week.(Snip) 'My whole point on all this immigration debate and stuff is, I think if we valued life as precious and every life matters, that we’re all God’s children, that all of a sudden the tone

Seattle—Neighbors living next to Albert Davis Park in Seattle's Lake City are begging city leaders to do something about a growing homeless camp at the park. The neighbors say they are living in constant fear and apprehension after a recent double shooting and explosion at the camp. "I don't think I've slept more than a couple hours, any night this this week," says Shannon Ellis-Brock, who lives near Albert Davis Park. She says drugs and crime are rampant at the camp, which took over the park when the pandemic hit over a year ago. She and others say the problems there are out of control

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. The series of U-turns came to a head in April, when the administration had indicated it would move to raise the cap–days after

President Biden and first lady Jill Biden heard mixed reviews about virtual learning from elementary school students during a swing through Yorktown, Virginia, on Monday morning. Some students at Yorktown Elementary School told the president and first lady they liked virtual learning OK and one told Mr. Biden it was “kind of fun” because of the availability of snacks.
Another student said that if you didn’t know the answer to a question you could just pretend like your microphone wasn’t working.(Snip) One of the glass partitions being used to shield the children fell off a student’s desk. “That’s probably my fault,” the president said.

The Environmental Protection Agency is set to issue wide-reaching regulations on Monday to curb the use and production of greenhouse gases from the refrigeration and air conditioning industries. The new regulations will target the production and importation of hydrofluorocarbons—commonly known as HFCs. The chemical compound was first developed in the 1980s to replace more harmful greenhouse gasses that depleted the earth’s ozone layer. EPA Administrator Michael Regan will propose that U.S. will curb HFCs emissions 85% by 2035. “With this proposal, EPA is taking another significant step under President Biden’s ambitious agenda to address the climate crisis,” Mr. Regan said. “The phasedown of HFCs

Memphis' Juneteenth celebration is relocating from Robert Church Park in Downtown Memphis to Health Sciences Park in the Medical District, where the remains of Confederate Army General Nathan Bedford Forrest and his wife sit mostly unadorned. Juneteenth, sometimes referred to as "Emancipation Day," traces back to 1865 when a federal order ending slavery was read aloud in Galveston, Texas, two years after the actual Emancipation Proclamation and more than a month after the end of the Civil War.(Snip) Weeks later, a group of activists painted "Black Lives Matter" in bright yellow around the remains of the Forrests, which are still fenced off from the general public.
