Washington, DC -Today, Congressman Van Drew released the following statement in support of President Trump's executive order, signed today, which will tie what Medicare pays for prescription drugs to the lowest prices paid in other developed countries. "Today, President Trump took a bold step to lower prescription drug prices for Americans, and I fully support it," said Congressman Van Drew. "For far too long, American families have been stuck paying outrageous prices for the same drugs sold at a fraction of the cost in other countries. This has to change. In fact, I will be introducing the Fair Prescription Drug Prices for Americans Act in the coming days to build on the President's action. This bill will make it illegal for drug manufacturers to charge Medicare and privately insured Americans more than what they charge in other countries like Canada, the United Kingdom, or Japan. If they exceed that amount,... Read more →

by University of Nebraska-Lincoln Newswise — The election of Cardinal Robert Prevost to the pontificate is notable for the first pope to be a member of the Augustinian friars since 1447. This order, like the Dominicans, Franciscans, and Carmelites, requires vows of poverty, obedience, and chastity, and they are specially dedicated to caring for the poor, to preaching, and to mission work. The last Augustinian friar pope, Eugenius IV, angered political authorities by forbidding the enslavement of the natives of the Canary islands who converted to Christianity. This set the stage for the refusal of later popes to enslave native Americans. Leo XIV's priorities cannot be foreseen with certainty, but the likelihood that he will embody this tradition of pastoral attention to the disadvantaged is considerable. In a period of history in which powerful countries are showing little mercy for migrants, this will almost certainly have an important effect. That... Read more →

The 151st running of the Kentucky Derby delivered all the drama horse racing fans expect from the “Run for the Roses.” Held on May 3, 2025, at Churchill Downs, the day was marked by overcast skies, a soaked track, and one of the most exciting finishes in recent memory. Sovereignty, a relatively unheralded bay colt trained by Bill Mott and owned by Godolphin, charged down the final stretch to upset favorite Journalism in a thrilling finish. While fans celebrated the underdog victory and Godolphin added a Kentucky Derby trophy to its prestigious collection, the win was soon mired in controversy.

According to HISA rules, jockeys are limited to six strikes during a race. Alvarado, under pressure in the stretch, used his whip eight times, triggering... Read more →
