These Four Pennsylvania Republican Congressmen’s Shaky Re-election Campaigns Could Determine the House Majority

As voters head to the polls will they vote based on party loyalty or the reality found inside their wallets?. Soaring gas and grocery prices, a seemingly endless war with Iran, years of war in Ukraine and capitulation to Putin, massive health care and SNAP cuts just might be enough to unseat four Pennsylvania incumbent Republicans in Congress.

OPINION: People Won’t Defend a Democracy They Haven’t Experienced

This story was originally published by Barn Raiser, your independent source for rural and small town news. There are very real reasons to be concerned about the future of our democracy and undoubtedly real stakes in the coming midterms. But after nearly a decade of organizing in rural and small town Indiana, I’ve come to believe that upholding democracy requires something much deeper than winning the next election.

7 Dishes Families Cooked on Election Night in the 1960s and 70s

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. Election night in the 1960s and 70s was an event that ran for hours and sometimes past midnight. Families gathered around the television while Walter Cronkite on CBS or, through 1968, the Huntley-Brinkley team on NBC walked through the returns state by state, the electoral board filling in slowly as Eastern results came first and the West Coast tallies came late. The question of who had won could stay open until nearly one or two in the morning, and everybody stayed put.

7 Dishes Mothers Made When the Cousins Came to Stay for a Week

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. When the cousins' station wagon rolled into the driveway with out-of-state plates and a backseat full of kids, the calendar shifted. Sleeping bags went down in the living room, extra chairs got pulled up to the table, and the mother of the house started counting how many mouths, how many nights, and what could stretch. These dishes were the answer. They fed eight when the usual table seated four, they held up to second helpings and third, and most of them could be started in the afternoon and ready by six.

7 Dishes From German-American Hall Oktoberfest Dinners

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. Every October, the Turner halls and Catholic parish basements in German-settled Midwest towns filled up for a fall dinner that raised money for the parish or the club, and by the time the doors opened the kitchen crew had been at work since morning. Potatoes were peeled and riced, the dumpling dough was resting, and a pot of gravy sat on the back burner while the hall filled with the smell of caraway and browned butter.

7 Sunday Suppers Families Made When the Clocks Fell Back

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. The Sunday the clocks fell back, supper came an hour early in the dark. Five o'clock and the kitchen window showed nothing but the neighbor's porch light. That shift, from long-lit evenings to pitch dark before the table was set, sent cooks straight to the oven or the big pot on the back burner. The cold came in with the dark, and something had to push back.
