With hefty bipartisan backing, the House has passed a bill that would force Tik Tok – the wildly popular Chinese-owned social media app – to sell out or face a ban. Normally, a measure that commands that kind of support makes sense. This one does not, and it should die in the Senate.
We have had our adopted Mexican street cat, Felix, for a month now. “Has he bulked out?” I asked my husband, Peter, as we watched Felix, standing on his back legs and walloping the tattered mouse hanging from his sisal scratching post. Felix looked like a boxer, beating the remaining stuffing out of his helpless little toy mouse. Bits of fur and mouse innards were strewn around the kitchen. But the carnage was not limited to the kitchen.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I’ve been dating my boyfriend for eight months, and I think he might be the one I want to marry. I am 32 years old, and it feels well past due. My family, however, doesn’t approve of him at all. They believe he is unsuitable for me and have expressed their concerns about our relationship. He is unemployed currently, and I pay our rent and other expenses, which is why they are unimpressed with him.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I am doing an internship at an energy company, and I am working on a solo project. I have been taking my time because this is my first internship, and I want to make a good impression. This week, I was sitting in a meeting with a lot of senior executives, and my boss’s boss started screaming at me because I was taking too long on my project. I was trying so hard to hold back the tears, but unfortunately, a few slipped out during the meeting because I was so upset that he would call me out in front of all the employees so high up in the company, even though I was trying my hardest to complete the project. I was also confused because I was told that I needed to have the project finished a week before my internship ends, which is two weeks from now. I can’t believe that instead of pulling me aside separately, he decided to yell at me in front of everyone. Do you think I should address this with someone in the company or keep quiet since I am just an intern? – Vulnerable Intern DEAR VULNERABLE INTERN: Speak to your boss. Ask for advice on how you might have handled yourself differently in that meeting. Request support on completing the assignment and making a good overall impression at the company. Inquire as to whether his boss is often harsh like he was to you, and find out what other employees do when he snaps like that.

Catholic cyberspace had a meltdown during Lent in 2022 as cardinals circulated a letter from 'Demos' – Greek for 'people' – an anonymous scribe claiming that 'this pontificate is a disaster in many or most respects; a catastrophe.'
After reading a few news articles about the lower voter turnout in the Democratic Party’s Presidential Preferential Primary in Oklahoma on March 5, I wanted to place this election in proper historical context.
Dear Doctors: I have developed pain in my right hip that runs down my thigh and calf. An orthopedic specialist who looked at my scans says it may be a pinched nerve. But my physical therapist says it is inflammation. Can it be both? Is there a solution?
Why do so many Democrats and their allies in the media desperately want former President Donald Trump to stand trial before Election Day? The answer is simple: Because they think it will help President Joe Biden defeat Trump and win reelection.
