02-04-2025 7:46 AM

By JOANNA BUONICONTI

As I write this, I am sitting at my desk working late into the night for the 20th or so consecutive night.

It’s safe to say that January has been a relatively hectic month.

By STEVE PFARRER

I enjoyed reading John Paradis’ Jan. 25 guest column suggesting the Democrats form a shadow opposition cabinet to offer consistent public responses to the worst policies of the new Trump administration [“Time for a People’s Cabinet”].
