What kind of unhinged writing habits lead to a book series like Game Changers and a TV phenomenon like Heated Rivalry? "I'll be like, let's just start having the characters have a conversation and see where it goes," said bestselling author Rachel Reid on the red carpet at the 2026 #PENGala.

AI hasn't replaced us yet, says B. J. Novak. "Real life, real things, real ideas are on their way back. And books are at the forefront of that," said the host of the 2026 #PENGala, who brought some real-world statistics to back that up. #books #reading #bookstores

This Administration’s war of choice in Iran is about to be a quagmire. Without a set plan, strategy, or definition of victory, this unauthorized war continues to put our servicemembers lives at risk and worsens the affordability crisis for working families across the country.

Glad to express my strong support of UNAC/UHCP healthcare workers and stand shoulder to shoulder with those who provide lifesaving care to the members of our community. After months of negotiations, it's time to respect the hands that care for us and give them the dignity and aloha they deserve.

Climate change is real. And quite honestly, sometimes the reality of it all feels overwhelming – like it could swallow us whole. But here’s what we can do to help: • Reduce plastic use • Compost food scraps if you can • Reuse as much as you can • Advocate for policies that cut waste and pollution

Cuba condemned US threats and sanctions targeting its oil imports, warning that ordinary citizens suffer the real consequences through blackouts, shortages and economic hardship. Collective punishment of civilians is not democracy promotion, it is geopolitical coercion.
