And we shouldn't be surprised by what we see; if anything, simply be as aware and engaged as possible to provide some measure of checks and balances before things become too imbalanced. In recent days, we've seen ramped up activity when it c

A few of our favorites: a look back at our top stories of 2025 (from the first half of the year)
It's that time again. As 2025 comes to a close and 2026 is about to begin (as of this Thursday), we take time to take a look back at a few of our favorite stories covered during the year.
