Duquesne Light has been an incredibly poor steward of what should be a public utility. I grew up in the foothills outside Boulder, Colo. We regularly experienced 100 mph winds and almost never lost power. Now I live in Pittsburgh, where every gentle breeze or mildly hot day knocks out...

Attaching any word to “Christian” or to “Christianity” limits what it means or in some cases makes it not “Christian” at all (i.e., Christian nationalist). A portion of the country and a great many of our political leaders will defy logic and contort themselves, often comically, but ultimately tragically, to...

U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Braddock, does not seem pleased with scrutiny over his behavior. It hasn’t been about his language processing in the wake of his 2022 stroke. It hasn’t been about the depression that saw him hospitalized in 2023. It isn’t about his quirky fashion choices or even his...

Waste, fraud and abuse. These are the seemingly magic words the world’s richest man incants to justify the chainsaw he’s taking to our government in the form of his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). However, as Elon Musk steps back to a part-time role, the question remains: Were these words...

Critics swing between accusing the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) of overreach and declaring it a failure at cutting government.
