Can South Carolina Trust Its Voter Rolls After Lindsey Graham’s Death?

The late Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC The sudden death of Sen. Lindsey Graham has created more than a political vacancy in South Carolina. It has also raised an urgent question about the special election that will determine his successor: Can South Carolinians trust the state’s voter rolls?

In a new Lean to the Left interview, Greene explains that she has begun filing public-records requests for voter-registration data in South Carolina counties. Her goal is to compare voter rolls over time and identify registered vot…

Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin

334 – Change Is Great. But So Is Everything About You That Never Changed.

I've spent my whole career helping people change. Someone walks into my therapy office stuck in a pattern they don't want, and together we figure out how to get them unstuck. I've written books about it. This whole podcast is about it. But after almost 25 years as a therapist, here's what strikes me: how much we actually stay the same. The things that made you light up at 5 are probably the same things that light you up at 55. The impulses you had at 7 are still there at 47. We change in real ways—but underneath, something steady keeps us being us. Today's episode is a little different. Inst…

FINE is a 4-Letter Word

237: Trash Bags to Backpacks with Rob Scheer

Rob Scheer was thrown out at 18 with a trash bag. He was the youngest of 10 children. His mother was married six times. His father beat him and his siblings, punching him in the bladder so repeatedly that by the time Rob joined the Navy, it ruptured. He had spent his senior year of high school homeless — sleeping in the bathroom of the taco restaurant where he worked, on beanbag chairs in the public library after closing, and on the floors of friends' homes. He barely graduated. He had no family to go back to. He had no picture to put on his bunk in boot camp except one of Tina Turner. Then …

Before You Move a Parent into Assisted Living: 3 Critical Things You Must Know

Moving a parent into assisted living is one of the most difficult decisions a family will ever make. Whether it's planned or happens in an emergency, most families feel unprepared: logistically, emotionally, and financially. I've been through this three times with my own parents. Each move taught me something new about what to look for, what questions to ask, and how to advocate for quality care. Looking back, there are things I wish someone had told me before we started. If you're considering assisted living for a parent, or if you've just made the move, this guide will help you navigate what…

Fun with Glue

“Fix or repair guy” I’m a “fix-or-repair-guy.” I differentiate this self-description from a “throw-away-and-buy-new-guy.” Rapid replacement of broken items is, without a doubt, the more efficient course of action. I might spend two to ten hours repairing something that I could reorder from Amazon in under 30 seconds. Silly. There is evidently some other criterion at play here. Questions of efficiency and pricing my time never rise to the surface. I’d just rather fix it. It’s fun. This week, the cleaning ladies dropped a hand painted tile made by Billie’s now thirty-somethin…
