Prisoner swaps completed as Russia fires barrage at Kyiv

1 week ago | newsexaminer.com | Ros Krasny

The third day of prisoner exchanges between Russia and Ukraine went ahead as planned on Sunday, wrapping up a program agreed to earlier this month, hours after a second night of deadly missile and drone strikes across much of Ukraine. Ukrainian authorities said at least 12 people were killed in heavy Russian airstrikes, prompting President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to renew his call for more sanctions.
More highway tolls might be in state's future

2 weeks ago | newsexaminer.com | Leslie Bonilla Muñiz

Indiana Gov. Mike Braun’s administration is getting serious about tolling to make up for falling fuel tax revenue and upgrade aging highways – eight years after former Gov. Eric Holcomb’s administration backed away from the prospect.
Originalism, the administrative state, and the clash of political theories

2 weeks ago | newsexaminer.com | GianCarlo Canaparo

When liberals hear conservatives say that the president should have total control over the executive branch, what they often hear is that the president should be a unitary lawmaker. That explains why one New York Times journalist erroneously described unitary executive as “reject[ing] the idea that the government is composed of three separate branches.”Liberals are right to fear a unitary lawmaker. A unitary lawmaker is likely to be a tyrant, unless he’s an angel, and men never are.

2 weeks ago | newsexaminer.com | Stephanie Schmitt

All of us want our kids to get a fair start in life. And for millions of American families, that start has come from the federal Head Start program. But unfortunately, the president has frozen Head Start funds, laid off many federal Head Start employees, and closed numerous regional Head Start offices across the country. Now a leaked draft of the president’s budget proposes eliminating Head Start altogether. kAm%9:D H@F=5 36 2 42E2DEC@A9:4 564:D:@?
With his ‘casting couch’ defense, Weinstein continues to damage the culture he once ruled

2 weeks ago | newsexaminer.com | Mary McNamara

“The casting couch is not a crime scene.”These words, uttered last month in court by defense attorney Arthur L. Aidala during Harvey Weinstein’s retrial in New York, should make any thinking person in, and outside, Hollywood scream out loud. I know I did. For so many reasons. kAmu:CDE[ 2?5 >@DE @3G:@FD[ :D p:52=2’D 2C8F>6?E E92E E96 D6IF2= 4C:>6D H:E9 H9:49 (6:?DE6:? 92D 366? 492C865 W282:? :? EH@ :?DE2?46D 2?5 7@C E96 7:CDE E:>6 :? @?6X H6C6 :?

For decades, Indiana’s Community and Home Options to Institutional Care for the Elderly and Disabled program — CHOICE, for short — has sought to keep Hoosiers out of long-term care facilities through home modifications and services like meal delivery or transportation. After the 2025 legislative session, it will also become a “Medicaid diversion program” in two pilot areas. kAmrw~xrt’D DFAA@CE6CD 5@?’E D66 E96 ?6H 5FEJ 2D 2? 6IA2?D:@?
Should the farm bill serve need or greed?

3 weeks ago | newsexaminer.com | Jim Hightower

The federal budget is not only about money, but fundamentally about our country’s morality – our commitment to fairness, equality and unity. Which brings me to, of all things, our nation’s Farm Bill. This sprawling piece of legislation, updated every five years, is intended to combine the interests of farmers with consumers, production with conservation, grassroots cultures with corporate systems, etc. It’s not easy. In fact, downright messy.
What to do with the worst Fed chairman ever

4 weeks ago | newsexaminer.com | EJ Antoni

President Donald Trump is not one to mince words, and that includes voicing his disapproval of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. Although Trump says he won’t fire Powell, he would certainly be justified in doing so — Powell played a key role in making Americans poorer, all while breaking the law. It was Powell’s non-stop money printing that fueled former President Biden’s runaway government spending which, predictably, devalued the dollar and gave us 40-year high inflation.
