NPR’s October 22 reporting describes frustration among Iowa cattle producers over the Trump administrati

Leaders of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the National Association of Evangelicals released a joint statement on immigration this week — the first time senior leaders of the two traditions have spoken with one voice on the issue in U.S. history. The statement, "A Call for Christian Compassion and Wisdom in the Immigration Debate," was released October 13 by Bishop Brendan Cahill, chairman of the USCCB's Committee on Migration, and the Rev. Walter Kim, president o

Nearly two years after her sermon at the Washington National Cathedral made national headlines, the Episcopal bishop who publicly asked President Donald Trump to show compassion toward immigrant families is stepping into the political spotlight again.

For a pregnant woman in a small town, knowing there's a hospital nearby that can safely deliver her baby is one of the most basic forms of security a community can offer. That security is quietly vanishing in rural areas across the country, as hospitals squeezed by federal funding cuts shut down the very units where new lives begin.

Every year, mothers across the American South leave for the hospital to have their babies — and some never come home. The United States already has the worst maternal mortality rate of any wealthy country in the world, and the South is at the center of that crisis.

When a child goes hungry tonight in a refugee camp, or a mother cannot get medicine for her sick baby, the cause may seem distant and complicated. But sometimes it traces back to a single decision made thousands of miles away — a decision to stop sending help.

The Strait of Hormuz is 8,000 miles from McAllen. It doesn't matter — the Iran war's cost arrives anyway, built into every fill-up and every grocery receipt in the Rio Grande Valley.

A war in the Middle East is costing South Texas families $55 more a month just to fill up — and in Alice, Beeville, and Rockport, not driving isn't an option. Here's what the Iran war and federal tariffs are doing to the pump and the grocery bill in rural South Texas.

For millions of people living with HIV in rural Africa, survival has depended on something most Americans take for granted — a healthcare worker showing up. Now, sweeping cuts to U.S. foreign aid are threatening to unravel that lifeline, and the consequences are being felt one missed home visit at a time.

Tariffs on imported goods are showing up in checkout prices nearly dollar for dollar, just on a seven-month delay. Here's why your grocery bill hasn't caught up yet, and why more increases are still on the way.

Millions of American families are currently facing tighter Medicaid coverage, reduced food assistance, and gas prices hovering above $4 a gallon. At the same time, the Trump administration has reached a deal that involves facilitating $300 billion in reconstruction funds for Iran — a country the United States bombed just months ago.

For decades, rural America has been the foundation of Republican political power, delivering the wide margins that carried Donald Trump to two presidential victories. But a new round of polling data suggests that foundation is cracking — and farmers, facing some of the worst financial conditions in a generation, are a big reason why.

For families watching every dollar, Spirit Airlines was often the difference between a vacation happening or not. Now, after 34 years of flying Americans to their destinations at rock-bottom prices, the airline is gone — and the ripple effects could show up in your travel budget for years to come.

For millions of Americans, the ongoing U.S. military conflict with Iran isn't just a foreign policy story — it's showing up in their bank accounts every time they fill up their gas tank, buy groceries, or call a rideshare to get to work. A new national poll found that half of Americans expect gas prices to climb even higher in the months ahead, and 4 in 10 say they are already worse off financially than they were at the start of Trump's second term.

The following was written by Rylee Lacy of the National Association of Evangelicals, and was originally published in Religion News Service. You can read the original article here. As a mom-to-be, this Mother’s Day feels different. Feeling my son’s little kicks, I already sense the deep, instinctual love for this life growing inside of me and the desire for him to flourish. I have always been a strongly pro-life evangelical Christian, but experiencing this bond between a mothe

When it comes to U.S. foreign spending, Americans don't always agree — but a new poll suggests there's one program that cuts across political lines: PEPFAR, the U.S.-funded global AIDS relief effort that has saved millions of lives since it launched more than two decades ago.

For more than six decades, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami has provided shelter, care, and family reunification services to some of the most vulnerable children in the world. That work is now coming to an end after the Trump administration canceled an $11 million federal contract that supported the program.

A single social media post depicting Donald Trump as Jesus Christ set off a firestorm of criticism — not from Democrats or the media, but from some of the president's most loyal supporters. The controversy unfolded over a turbulent week that also included escalating military threats against Iran, drawing fresh scrutiny from across the political spectrum.
