Millions of women have served in the U.S. military, yet their stories often go overlooked. A Detroit group is raising money for homeless women veterans and their children while making sure these women are seen and recognized.

Nearly 2,500 acres of the Carter family's Georgia farmland and forest are being protected for the future. The land will become part of a much larger wildlife management area. A piece of Jimmy Carter's personal history will remain open to nature and, eventually, the public.

The 27th Amendment was proposed in 1789 and wasn't ratified until 1992, more than 202 years later. It limits when Congress can put a pay raise for its members into effect. Democracy can move at a very unusual pace.
A piece of American constitutional trivia!

The FDA is adding a warning about a rare risk of serious vision loss to popular GLP-1 drugs. These medications help many people, but patients deserve clear information about risks as well as benefits. Health decisions require honest conversations.

Public education needs oversight, stable funding and accountability. Democrats say they will use their new congressional power to challenge Trump's education changes. Families and students deserve a system built around learning, not political battles.

Science should bring people together, even when politics pulls them apart. On World Science Day for Peace and Development, the focus is science diplomacy and finding common ground across borders. Shared problems need shared knowledge, not more division.

This is my father and me at a Grêmio match in Brazil. For most of my teenage years, our family worked selling newspapers and magazines at a small newsstand. Years later, my father developed colon and then gastric cancer. His experience shaped how I think about healthcare. 1/6

Voters sent Washington a clear message: families need relief from inflation. The new Congress and the White House should focus on housing, groceries, healthcare and wages. Political victories mean little if household budgets keep falling behind.

NASA is recruiting its next generation of astronauts. Young women studying science, engineering and mathematics should see that opportunity as theirs, too. Space exploration needs talent, discipline and curiosity. None of those qualities belong to one gender.

When floodwaters cut off 38-year-old Kaleb at a Florida chimp sanctuary, staff used a drone to bring him food and blankets. The care team stayed on site to protect all 200 chimps. That kind of dedication to animals deserves recognition.

WIC families may soon have more ways to shop for healthy food. A new USDA rule lets states authorize online WIC purchases. It won't happen overnight, but it could make life easier for parents juggling work, childcare and grocery trips.

A Wisconsin infant has died from measles, the state's first such death in 36 years. No family should have to bury a child from a disease we know how to prevent. Vaccination protects children and the people around them.

A Florida couple bought 45 acres of swamp to keep it from being developed. Years of care turned it into a refuge for wood storks and other wildlife. Sometimes protecting nature starts with people refusing to let one piece of it disappear.

AI data centers need electricity, water and land. Communities deserve a say before these projects move in, especially when local families may end up paying the costs. Innovation shouldn't come at the expense of the people who live nearby.

Women’s brain health deserves more research. A new study is exploring how reproductive history and estrogen exposure may relate to brain aging. It’s promising research, but it does not prove hormone therapy prevents dementia.
