Abortion access has always been viewed as a woman's problem. Men rarely talked about it, and it didn't seem high on their political priorities.

Wade with his anti-woman, anti-choice Supreme Court picks, men are paying attention – particularly in red states with the most restrictive abortion policies.

The first (and probably only) Prez candidate debate is this week. Will both parties go by the rules? More importantly, will we learn anything we don't already know?

Labor Day became a national holiday in 1894, when President Grover Cleveland signed a law making the first Monday in September a day off for workers. Labor unions had campaigned for years to gain recognition of both the contributions and the mistreatment of workers. History is littered dirty tricks to keep unions out with bullets and billy clubs.

Sports on TV has long been guy heavy. But a new kind of sports bra for both genders may just be the uplift the fans need.

Presidential history was made when President Biden gracefully ended his candidacy for a second term. He put country over self and very possibly saved our democracy. The crowds are loving his prosecutor replacement. His convicted felon opponent is less than thrilled.

Besides record heat and fireworks on the 4th, July is known for something else: Black Women's Equal Pay Day. The day in 2024 when Black women's wages caught up to what white men made by the end 2023: one hundred and ninety one extra days work, to be exact.
