AMERICANALMANAC (Alex Tanzer) - Pope Leo XIV marks 71st birthday by repealing Vatican salary cuts and reversing Francis-era plans
Pope Leo XIV used his 71st birthday to hand Vatican employees a tangible gift, a papal decree scrapping the salary cuts his predecessor imposed five years ago, while quietly reversing another major Francis-era decision on the Vatican's own archives. The Vatican published two decrees on Monday, both signed by Leo, that together represent the clearest […] The post Pope Leo XIV marks 71st birthday by repealing Vatican salary cuts and reversing Francis-era plans appeared first on American Almanac .
Pope Leo XIV used his 71st birthday to hand Vatican employees a tangible gift, a papal decree scrapping the salary cuts his predecessor imposed five years ago, while quietly reversing another major Francis-era decision on the Vatican's own archives. The Vatican published two decrees on Monday, both signed by Leo, that together represent the clearest signal yet of how the first American pope intends to manage the institution's finances and physical footprint. The first decree repealed COVID-era salary reductions that Pope Francis put in place in 2021. The second canceled Francis' plan to relocate the Vatican's secret archives and library holdings to a pontifical university outside Vatican City, ordering instead that a new building be…Open
AMERICANALMANAC (Jonah Adams) - CDC study confirms women report far more fatigue than men — and the numbers point to a deeper problem
A federal survey of nearly 27,000 adults found that more than half of American women feel fatigued on a regular basis, a gap that researchers say carries real consequences for daily life and mental health. The Centers for Disease Control surveyed adults aged 18 and older across the country in 2024 and found a stark […] The post CDC study confirms women report far more fatigue than men — and the numbers point to a deeper problem appeared first on American Almanac .
A federal survey of nearly 27,000 adults found that more than half of American women feel fatigued on a regular basis, a gap that researchers say carries real consequences for daily life and mental health. The Centers for Disease Control surveyed adults aged 18 and older across the country in 2024 and found a stark divide between the sexes. Nearly 20 percent of women reported experiencing fatigue "most days or every day," compared with lower rates among men. One in every six American adults overall fell into that frequent-fatigue category, but women drove the numbers higher, with more than half saying they felt fatigued at least "some days." The CDC defines general fatigue as "physical or mental tiredness or exhaustion that does not…Open
AMERICANALMANAC (Sadie Smith) - Florida Senate nominee Angie Nixon owes $31,000 in taxes and student loans — and left both off her disclosure
Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon earned at least $270,000 last year but still owes nearly $14,000 to the IRS and more than $17,600 in student loans, debts she omitted from her Senate financial disclosure and publicly complained about paying. Nixon, a state representative and self-described dues-paying Democratic Socialist, filed her Senate candidate financial disclosure […] The post Florida Senate nominee Angie Nixon owes $31,000 in taxes and student loans — and left both off her disclosure appeared first on American Almanac .
Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon earned at least $270,000 last year but still owes nearly $14,000 to the IRS and more than $17,600 in student loans, debts she omitted from her Senate financial disclosure and publicly complained about paying. Nixon, a state representative and self-described dues-paying Democratic Socialist, filed her Senate candidate financial disclosure in August without listing either her IRS tax debt or her federal student loan balance, both of which exceed the $10,000 threshold that Senate rules require candidates to report. Her latest state financial disclosure, filed August 25, shows the full picture: $13,900-plus owed to the IRS and $17,609 in unpaid federal student loans from her time at the University…Open
AMERICANALMANAC (Charles McAdams) - Arapaho tribes move to expel Christian pastor who condemned sundance ceremony as idol worship
A Christian pastor on Wyoming's Wind River Reservation is refusing to leave after two tribal councils declared her unwelcome and passed ordinances restricting religious groups, a standoff that pits tribal sovereignty against religious liberty and private property rights. Sarah Lucas, who leads Foundations for Nations Church in Arapahoe, Wyoming, preached a sermon during the Arapaho […] The post Arapaho tribes move to expel Christian pastor who condemned sundance ceremony as idol worship appeared first on American Almanac .
A Christian pastor on Wyoming's Wind River Reservation is refusing to leave after two tribal councils declared her unwelcome and passed ordinances restricting religious groups, a standoff that pits tribal sovereignty against religious liberty and private property rights. Sarah Lucas, who leads Foundations for Nations Church in Arapahoe, Wyoming, preached a sermon during the Arapaho sundance ceremony calling the sacred practice "idol worship." A video of the sermon circulated in July, just as Arapaho people emerged from their weeklong ceremony. The backlash was swift. Both the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone tribal councils passed ordinances requiring religious groups to seek tribal approval before operating on the Wind River…Open
AMERICANALMANAC (Ken Jacobs) - Vandals douse Charlie Kirk memorial statue in red paint days after unveiling
Someone splattered red paint across a bronze statue of the late Charlie Kirk at Turning Point USA's Phoenix headquarters, just three days after the memorial was unveiled to mark the one-year anniversary of his killing.

Someone splattered red paint across a bronze statue of the late Charlie Kirk at Turning Point USA's Phoenix headquarters, just three days after the memorial was unveiled to mark the one-year anniversary of his killing. The eight-foot statue, which depicts Kirk in his signature "Freedom" T-shirt and cross necklace, was found with red paint smeared across its face and neck. A nearby memorial sign was defaced as well: someone crossed out a photo of Kirk's face, scribbled over the name "Jesus" and a cross on the display, and reportedly wrote "Satan" on the tribute . Flowers, American flags, and other mementos left by mourners still sat at the statue's base, many of them already drying in the Arizona heat. Phoenix police confirmed no arrests…Open
AMERICANALMANAC (Alex Tanzer) - AOC, Tlaib, and other progressive Democrats spent thousands in donor cash at Michelin-starred restaurants
Federal Election Commission filings show self-described champions of the working class, including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib, spent campaign funds at some of the country's priciest restaurants, including one that accuses Israel of weaponizing food. Ocasio-Cortez's campaign committee dropped nearly $10,000 at multiple Michelin-starred spots, FEC disbursement records show.

Ocasio-Cortez's campaign committee dropped nearly $10,000 at multiple Michelin-starred spots, FEC disbursement records show. Tlaib's committee spent more than $2,700 at Albi, a Palestinian restaurant in Washington, D.C., whose unnamed owner has accused Israel of using food "to starve people and deprive them of their human rights." A Washington Free Beacon review of the FEC data found the pattern stretches well beyond the Squad, reaching into the campaign accounts of House…Open
