My first date with my husband was on Nov 7, 1992. It’s just 4 months shy of a third of a century! Happy first date anniversary to my man!

That Artsy Mural on a Brooklyn Building? It’s a Whisky Ad.

Many Minor Hits Can Damage an Athlete’s Brain

The Psychological Value of Repentance
Mr. Ciattarelli has said he will end that practice, which he calls a β€œfailed tradition,” and instead appoint only conservative judges when vacancies occur.

Ms. Sherrill has said that she will continue alternating Supreme Court appointments by party. But she has also said that anyone she nominates will be a supporter of abortion rights.

Today is #CommonSense Day and I am observing it ironically as a protest. Because it doesn’t exist.
