Dana Kellerman: It really is the guns
This week, the trial begins for the man accused of shooting and killing 11 people at my Pittsburgh synagogue 4½ years ago. Reports say he was motivated by antisemitism, white supremacist ideology and hatred for immigrants, but what made the attack deadly was the guns. On April 13 of this...

Kevin McCarthy says House will pass GOP debt limit bill this week
WASHINGTON — Speaker Kevin McCarthy said that the House will pass his $1.5 trillion debt ceiling increase plan this week, but he dodged when asked if he has already secured the 218 Republican votes he needs. “We will hold a vote this week and we will pass it,” McCarthy said...
How rich are the U.S. Supreme Court justices?
WASHINGTON — The nine Supreme Court justices in total are worth at least $24 million. Or it might be closer to $68 million. It’s impossible to get more specific than that. That’s because federal ethics laws require justices to disclose only those assets that might pose a conflict of interest....

Remember When: Car plunging from Tarentum Bridge frightened drivers for years
Stories of a car crash that occurred 55 years ago still haunt many drivers who use the Tarentum Bridge. For those who were not alive at the time, the story has become somewhat of an urban legend. The crash occurred on the morning of Nov. 20, 1968. The story dominated...
Michelle Lockette: We should not tolerate loss of identity in education
I teach in a district that supports culturally affirming practices, which made it all the more surprising when I was asked to remove the word “identity” from a unit title in a ninth grade course. Even though I was not asked to change the curriculum, I could no longer call...
Anne M. Litz: Celebrating National Library Week
April 23-29 is National Library Week! But maybe you haven’t been to the local library in a while. Quite a while. Your library card expired, say, a couple of decades ago. Maybe you remember having to pay for a card back then. Maybe you’re not “into” books that much. Maybe...
Letter to the editor: Don’t vote for incumbents for Westmoreland County commissioner
No incumbent Westmoreland County commissioners deserve your vote. They are the ones who sent millions of dollars back to the federal government because they could not find the time to figure out how to award the money — money that was needed by small businesses and the needy. No incumbent...
Letter to the editor: Censorship not the way to prioritize students’ well-being
My first Hempfield School Board meeting concerned the policy for challenging school library books. Points from both sides were presented, along with those of a sexual abuse survivor who identified being “triggered” by scenes described in a book. As a licensed counselor and survivor of sexual assault myself, I am...

Letter to the editor: Reasons for Methodist disaffiliation
Regarding Natalie Frydryck’s op-ed “Young Methodists concerned about disaffiliation, too” (April 9, TribLIVE): I’m a member of a former United Methodist church that chose to disaffiliate. I’ve heard and read opinions about the disaffiliation and have not heard one that told the entire truth. Our church chose to join the...

Letter to the editor: God didn’t give us guns
I’m not opposed to gun ownership, but like an overwhelming majority of Americans I support commonsense gun legislation. Neither the Christian Bible nor the U.S. Constitution forbids reasonable limits on gun ownership. Based on this, I am intrigued by politicians and recent letter-writers who proclaim that unbridled gun ownership is...
