There was no nursery rhyme reciting nor phone book reading. No cots wheeled out for senators to catch naps in between speechifying. But one by one on Wednesday night and into Thursday, Senate Democrats flocked to the floor for an all-night talkathon to protest the confirmation of Russell T. Vought, President Trump’s nominee to lead the White House budget office and an architect of his ultraconservative Project 2025 policy agenda. Several senators swigged caffeinated beverages. One arrived straight from a black-tie banquet. The eyes were bleary but the outrage was fierce as Democrats took turns railing against Mr. Vought, who has orchestrated many of Trump’s moves to go around Congress to dismantle and defund the federal government. They had no hope of stopping Mr. Vought. Consigned to the minority, Democrats lacked the votes to block him or any other Trump nominee so long as Republicans continued to largely hold together...

Suicide is never an option, because it lets the bullies win, always. Out of curiosity, I dug up on people who made my life hell in secondary and primary school, turns out they are all nowhere near the standard of living that I am in right now, and I pity them. There was, and still is nothing wrong with me, there was something wrong with them. I learnt too that I was simply the image that they couldn’t achieve, so they hated it. Bullying has nothing to do with you, so don’t ever take it personally, make yourself small, more importantly, do not become what they are. I was just like Jayden Lalchan, picked on for every single thing, after a while I realized that being comfortable in my image, was all that mattered, my life and what I did with it only had to make sense to me. The Bhagavad Gita...

School Construction and Maintenance Bureau Executive Director Craig Benjamin answers questions from lawmakers during a Senate Education and Workforce Development hearing Wednesday on St. Croix. (Source photo by Kit MacAvoy) Leadership from the new School Construction and Maintenance Bureau provided lawmakers on the Senate Education and Workforce Development Committee with an operations update Wednesday. The bureau was established in 2023 through the enactment of Act 8717, which shifted school maintenance responsibilities, funding and personnel from the Virgin Islands Education Department to a dedicated entity under the Office of the Governor. Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. tapped Craig Benjamin, a St. Thomas native with stateside experience in school construction, to head the bureau last July. Territory schools have continued to grapple with a lack of air-conditioning and mold, and in September, a falling ceiling fan seriously injured a St. Croix Educational Complex student, leading to student protests and community concern. On Wednesday, Benjamin told lawmakers...
