Bethany Christian said the state settled a discrimination lawsuit. The state said it didn’t. Bethany Christian Services has asked a judge to enforce a settlement with the state. The state says there never was a settlement.

Bethany Christian Services believed it had settled its religious discrimination suit against the state, winning mandatory religious liberty training for Office of Global Michigan managers, $300,000 in lawyer fees and more.

The state said there was no settlement.

I realized thinking about this that the number of times I’ve seen a band often doesn’t have a lot to do with how much I like them. Like how did I end up seeing the Grateful Dead twice?

"Just after Christmas, on his birthday, JJ found his mom draped over her bed, lifeless. An autopsy would later confirm what she had feared: Preeclampsia killed her at 20 weeks pregnant."

'Larger than life': How the Edmund Fitzgerald legend was forged in Metro Detroit The story of the Edmund Fitzgerald still resonates 50 years after it sank off the coast of the Upper Peninsula's Whitefish Point on Nov. 10, 1975.

The Edmund Fitzgerald became legend when she sank 50 years ago, but she was always an icon. 🚒

A Michigan elected official is married to a neo-Nazi. Some constituents have a problem with that. Meghyn Booth says she didn’t know she was married to a neo-Nazi influencer, not exactly.

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements.

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate β€” and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.
