Letter to the editor: Health care is a right, not a privilege
It is not only disappointing, but shocking, that Stacy Garrity, a Republican candidate for Pennsylvania governor, believes that ending the Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits was “the right thing to do.” The preamble to the U.S. Constitution includes the responsibility to “promote the general welfare.” Health care is fundamental...

Analysis: Early look at Penn State’s 2027 NFL Draft possibilities
Time for an early sneak peek at what Penn State’s 2027 NFL draft class could look like. Keep in mind I have yet to see many of these Nittany Lions transfers play live. But I do have a pretty good feel for the PSU returnees. It’s doubtful all the players...

Catherine Thorbecke: AI is coming for our aging parents, ready or not
At first glance, AI companions for lonely
seniors can seem dystopian, looking less like innovation than a bleak sign of social failure. Spending a couple days recently in Tokyo nursing homes, I watched plushie robots the size of human babies being handed to aging parents and grandparents, and prototypes of conversational...
Christine Flowers: Pope putting American Catholics in awkward position
I am a bit of a pope groupie. Anything and everything about the Vatican fascinates me. When I studied in Rome back in 1984, I would take the 64 Bus to St. Peter’s Basilica every Wednesday, because that was when Pope John Paul II would be holding his public audiences....

Letter to the editor: USDA should protect animals, workers, consumers
No one wants the meat on their dinner table to have come from an animal that suffered unnecessarily or from a system that puts workers in harm’s way.

Editorial: Sen. Fetterman pushes for SNAP chicken change
Chickens are not inherently political, but they can be dragged into politics clucking and crowing. French King Henry IV is believed to be the first to wish “a chicken in every pot” for his people in the 1500s. It was picked up again in the 1920s when Republicans promised the...
