Indivar Dutta-Gupta, co-executive director of Georgetown’s Center on Poverty and Inequality and an economic adviser to the campaign of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, explained during an interview with NPR Friday what will happen to the American economy once these benefits end. “Families are going to face high rates of eviction, homelessness, food insecurity, hunger,” Dutta-Gupta said. “And the economy overall is going to see much slower progress in a recovery than otherwise....

This is a low-end estimate, as it does not include firearms that were produced before the time span studied, although it also does not account for any weapons that may have been removed from circulation post-production. In addition, a new industry report from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry’s trade group, found that over 17.7 million modern sporting rifles—a term that encompasses semi-automatic rifles such as the AR-15—were produced or imported overall from 1990 to 2017....

The Pew Research Center on Tuesday released the results of a new survey regarding religion in America. According to the findings, “nones,” which refers to Americans who do not identify as having any religious affiliations, now make up around 29 percent of U.S. adults–an uptick from 23 percent in 2016 and 19 percent in 2011–indicating that some Americans are beginning to lose interest in their faiths. Some experts are estimating that unaffiliated people could be the largest religious group in the country....

In New Jersey, lawmakers have limited the circle of people able to petition for someone to be placed under a guardianship. An independent review process to oversee how conservatorships are being executed was implemented in New Mexico, which includes permission to monitor bank records. And Oregon is offering resources to protect people under guardianships, providing free legal help to anyone under a guardian’s oversight. California Assemblyman Evan Low, a Democrat who introduced a bill after watching the recent documentary Controlling Britney Spears, said the system “is failing people from every walk of life, whether they are a global superstar whose struggles unfortunately play out in public or a family unsure of how to take care of an elderly parent,” the AP said....

Using the hashtags #Klomentum and #Klobmentum, fans of the Minnesota senator called her performance in the first primary of the 2020 election campaign “incredible” and a demonstration of her “viability” in the race. As the New Hampshire primary results stood on Wednesday morning, Klobuchar was in third place on 19.8 percent of the vote after 87 percent of precincts had reported their final tallies. Klobuchar’s position in the race put her a little more than 10 points above former frontrunners Joe Biden and Senator Elizabeth Warren and left her with six of the 24 delegates up for grabs....

I had always associated aliens with Star Trek and thought of them as strange-looking creatures with pointy ears and wriggly eyebrows. I certainly did not think of myself belonging to this particular group, and yet here I was, 5 years old, being classified as one. “I see you have never been to this country before,” the official stated. My parents nodded, anxiously waiting for more questions. Then the immigration officer smiled and said, “Welcome to America....

It can’t come soon enough. Already some 4.5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease. By 2050, as increasing numbers of seniors reach the age of 85 and older, the tally could swell to as much as 16 million. Researchers are racing to develop drugs that would slow the progression of the disease—but in order for these treatments to be useful, one needs diagnostic tests to determine who can benefit. So how does the possible new testing method work?...

My life in Berlin is a glorious mess. I don’t have a job. I don’t have an apartment. And I don’t have any money. I couch surf from one friend’s apartment to the next.

His caution was understandable, and not long after he spoke Protestant gunmen continued the terror, killing at least one Roman Catholic in a drive-by shooting the day after the ceasefire began. Still, nationalists in the Republic of Ireland, Irish-Americans from Boston to San Francisco and a vacationing President Bill Clinton all applauded the IRA’s announcement. The president can claim some credit for the breakthrough with the IRA. His controversial decision to grant a U....

This franchise has come a long way since starting out as the expansion Mighty Ducks of Anaheim two decades ago. Like many Southern Californians, they reinvented themselves along the way, recasting themselves as the Anaheim Ducks and shedding an identity that infuriated many hockey purists.

Stamp speculation usually means buying collector-quality issues and seeing whether they rise in price. But starting this spring, the U.S. Postal Service will offer you a new way to play the stamp market: the Forever Stamp. It’s a stamp that will forever be good for mailing up to one ounce of first-class mail, no matter how high the cost of stamps rises. These new issues are scheduled for their initial public offering at about the same time the price of a first-class stamp is scheduled to rise to 41 or 42 cents—the price hasn’t yet been determined—from the current 39 cents....

Let’s start with an obvious question. In the aftermath of the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, who do you think was responsible? It was almost certainly the work of Al Qaeda or Al Qaeda’s Pakistani allies. Al Qaeda has been trying to kill Ms. Bhutto for decades. She has been the target of assassination attempts by Al Qaeda before. They were most likely responsible for the attack on her when she first returned to Pakistan....

Carlo Ancelotti is such a genial figure that revenge would never be a motivation but there is no doubt he will be itching to prove to Real Madrid they were wrong to dismiss him after winning La Decima, the Copa del Rey, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup. No recent Real coach had the team playing with such effortless fluidity as the Italian but coming up short in la Liga ultimately saw him sacked....
