Baltimore, MD - Sept. 10, 2020 - As a general rule, people thrive off routine. When things go according to plan, we feel safe, secure, and capable. We are able to work towards, and accomplish our goals. We are able to make plans. However, the last few months have been anything but routine. COVID-19 has created shockwaves of uncertainty that continue to ripple through our communities. The overall uncertainty affects every part of our lives, including what was once taken for granted. This is especially true for people in recovery for a Substance Use Disorder (SUD). Forming connections and finding a place in a supportive community are essential pieces of the treatment and recovery process.

BEIRUT (VINnews) — Will Lebanon be the next country to sign a peace treaty with Israel? According to Lebanese journalist Nadim Koteich, it is the most logical step and Lebanese interest to promote a peace deal with Israel. In an article published Tuesday and translated by Israeli journalist Shimrit Meir, Koteich claimed that the only thing preventing a peace treaty is “the hijacking of the sovereign right to decide by an ideological group which has no right to exist unless there is perpetual enmity between the two states.”
Koteich added that “the (Israeli) occupation ended in 2000 and could have ended many years early if Lebanon had aligned its interests better and not remained beholden to Syrian and Iranian interests. It is possible that the occupation would never...

Maryland Democrats on the House Subcommittee on Government Operations pressed for details Monday about changes at the U.S. Postal Service ahead of November, questioning the conduct of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.
