In that instant, every House district, every Senate fight, every governor’s race would be pulled into the gravitational field of a single narrative—loyalty or betrayal, strength or surrender. What began as a tactic became a test of whether […]

He lived as if his only purpose was to hold everyone else together. On stage, he was invincible; off stage, he was a man quietly unraveling in rooms filled with trophies and emptiness.

Valentino Garavani’s passing closes a chapter that defined what elegance looked like for more than half a century. From his Roman atelier in 1960 to the global runways he conquered, Valentino didn’t just make dresses; he created dreams in silk, tulle, and that unmistakable Valentino red.

Without naming the diagnosis, Kelce focused on the emotional fallout: the shock, the sudden rearranging of priorities, and the quiet decision to close ranks around the people who truly mattered.

Trump’s proposal targets a group that has felt the sting of every price hike: seniors living on fixed incomes. Under this plan, anyone 65 or older would be able to claim a new $6,000 tax deduction starting next year, with married couples over 65 eligible for a combined $12,000.

They are the last living echoes of the 20th century’s brightest stages, and yet their presence feels urgently modern. Elizabeth Waldo’s life work preserving indigenous music now reads like a blueprint for cultural survival. Karen Marsh Doll’s memories of The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind are no longer just anecdotes; they’re living
