JD Vance during a Sunday CNN interview, challenging former President Donald Trump’s running mate’s controversial remarks that disparaged prominent Democrats as “childless cat ladies.” Buttigieg, a father of two with his husband Chasten, accused Vance of lying and perpetuating divisive rhetoric that undermines the diverse American families.

Latino men for Kamala Harris had something to prove last week. An impromptu group of campaign donors calling themselves “White Dudes for Harris” had made waves, raising $4 million on a Zoom call featuring a suite of celebrities, including actor Jeff Bridges who famously played “The Dude” in the cult classic film The Big Lebowski. Just a week before, a group of around 4,500 Latinas for Harris had raised roughly $150,000 on a call. The time had come for Latino men to step up. “I don’t want to wake up tomorrow and see on CNN how white boys outraised the...

Q: My husband of 49 years died a few months ago. I filed for widow’s benefits and started receiving them with no problem. But I got a letter telling me that I was not eligible for the $255 death benefit. When I called the Social Security people to ask about this, they told me that I wasn’t due that one-time benefit because we were not living together when he died. I’m ashamed to admit that my husband had been living with another woman for several years before he died. But it seems odd to me that I can get his monthly widow’s benefits, but I can’t get the burial benefit. Can you explain this?

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
