U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, please support and protect the Internationals Affairs Budget.
For those who don’t know, the International Affairs Budget is part of the U.S. budget dedicated to supporting American diplomacy and development initiatives. These non-military investments help the United States to support democracy and free markets, fight violent extremism, and confront poverty and health crises. These programs represent the best of American values to the world.
U.S. foreign aid programs address health crises, provide life-saving food aid in war-torn countries, help promote education programs, help women and girls around the globe thrive, and also protect American national security.
Earlier this year, Congress rejected President Trump’s first two proposals to dramatically cut the foreign affairs budget, and for that, I, along with many others, thank you. Please continue to support the foreign affairs budget and make this world a better place.

Many extremely wealthy American businessmen have returned to supporting Donald Trump after fiercely criticizing him for his role in the January 6 insurrection. They have explained that they believe that a second Joe Biden term will be detrimental for them...
I’d like to compliment Kelly Ann Smith on her article “Capturing the Artistry of Landscape Architecture” in the April 11 edition [Residence]. I found it light, easy to read and informative without going off the page with a lot of...
When our world gets out of balance, we lose our comfort and security. Too much or too little of anything spikes our fear, and we lose our sense of peace. Those who have what they want and need are comfortable....
September 11 and October 7, similar dates of infamy for strong allies with similarly divergent reactions. Now gathered mobs of protesters are cheering on those who cry “Death to America” and call for the complete annihilation and genocide of the...
