thousands expected to join no kings day rally in albany saturday

ALBANY, NY (WRGB) -- Organizers of the No Kings Day of Action are preparing for a significant turnout this Saturday, with protests planned across 50 states and more than a dozen countries. In Albany, Mayor Kathy Sheehan and other Democratic leaders have urged the community to participate in the rally, which has been endorsed by local elected officials. The rally aims to address federal budget cuts on education, ensure immigrants' right to due process, and protest the administration's alleged use of power against rivals. Melanie Trimble, regional director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, emphasized the importance of nonviolent action and expects counter-protesters at the event. The rally will take place from noon to 2 p.m. on Western Ave between Fuller Road and Manning Boulevard.

WRIC 8 News reported that a beloved and influential Richmond pastor passed away on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, after more than four decades of serving the community. Rev. Dr. A. Lincoln James, Jr., was the beloved pastor of Richmond’s Trinity Baptist Church for 45 years, according to a December 18 Facebook post from the church. Having served the same community for so long, James was well known, and many people benefited from his leadership.

Kentucky’s junior U.S. Senator Rand Paul, R-Bowling Green, has introduced the Health Marketplace and Savings Accounts for All Act, to make all Americans eligible for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). In the early church, people were selling land and giving 100% of the money to the apostles. It was a time of extreme generosity. Ananias and his wife Sapphira wanted to look generous too. They sold a field, kept some money for themselves, and brought the rest to Peter, pretending it was the full amount.

This tiny, young dog, weighing around 10 pounds, is gradually adjusting to home life and showing promise as a loyal companion for the right family. Thank you for reading!
