- In an essay for HuffPost, guest writer Dolores Cruz opened up about her heartache following the sudden death of her 24-year-old son Eric. “Many well-intentioned people told me that he was in a ‘better place.’ They told me it was ‘his time.’ They told me to be grateful that I had other children. They told me to be strong. No. No. Thank you, but no,” she said. “These comments are not helpful at all for someone who is newly bereaved.”

- In an essay for HuffPost, Mary Kate Leonard writes about her “soul-destroying” decision to leave her fiancé and call off their wedding in 2014.
“When I ended the relationship, I deeply hurt a truly good man and his family, whom I knew and loved. I disappointed my own parents by appearing to turn away from a certain kind of life,” she says.
“Walking away from an engagement meant exchanging the delights of a bride for the embarrassment of a deserter ― not to mention enduring the intense pain of a breakup, and the miserable work of starting over from scratch.”
“But when I’d asked myself whether I could promise to love my ex forever, I’d faced endless uncertainty.”
Almost 30 at the time, Leonard says her decision to break things off came down to one thing.

The House voted along mostly partisan lines to remove Omar, a Somali American, from the Foreign Affairs Committee after Republicans began the process a day earlier. The GOP claims Omar is antisemitic due to her criticism of the foreign policy relationship between the U.S. and Israel.

- A congressional hearing was full of Taylor Swift references as senators from both parties hammered Ticketmaster and Live Nation — slamming the merged companies as a monopoly that uses threats to dominate the industry and hurt consumers.
Senators had called for a committee hearing after a debacle last year surrounding sales for Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour,” which saw consumers deal with website outages and long wait times in a fruitless search for tickets.
“You have brought together Republicans and Democrats in an absolutely unified cause,” said Blumenthal, who also made a reference to some of Swift’s lyrics. “Ticketmaster ought to look in the mirror and say: ‘I’m the problem. It’s me.’”
