After a year of living in a pandemic and the unconscionable loss of life, we’ve learned many useful precautions that could improve our public health practice and clinical care.

As a patriotic American who is now living in Texas, my feeling is there is no reason for the nation to step aside if it wants to leave our Union.

If employers are building their recruitment and staffing strategy around attracting the unemployed back to the workforce with pay, it is likely not a sound or sustainable strategy.

Many small business owners claim they can’t find employees and point to competition they face from the government’s offer of enhanced unemployment benefits – which had been $600 per week and are now $300.

On the one hand, “Trump-Biden” voters regularly insist that they cast their votes for the best candidate, irrespective of party. At the same time, they say they maintain a remarkably sour view of the Republican brand.

As with any tool, how body cameras are used matters significantly more than whether they are used. When it comes to the potential benefits of a police body-worn camera program, the devil is in the details.

Perhaps the fabric of our nation – the shared commitment to our founding purpose and creed that has long been presumed to bind us together – has become frayed beyond repair.

Both sides of the political spectrum cannot agree on basic facts. If we continue down this path, we will fail to enact meaningful changes in police accountability that are sorely needed.

Instead of serving as a forum for great national debates, the United States Senate has devolved into both a graveyard and a stage. The Senate is where bills go to die and where Senators go to perform.

The memories of 9/11 are still so chilling and vivid, I can hardly believe we are approaching 20-years from that fateful day.
