## Resource

Dr. Oren Amitay gives raw, practical advice on what to do when you get that dreaded call — a loved one is seriously ill or needs help. He explains how to protect your own mental and physical health so you don’t burn out while trying to save someone else. Then Michelle Ferreri goes off on the Trump-Carney dynamic, the FIFA box drama, and the nonstop American gaslighting. She’s done with the “hate America” narrative — we need a real deal, not more division.
