At this summer camp run by grandmas, kids learn cooking skills and life advice

August 2, 2025

At a summer camp in Fullerton, California, grandmas are in charge. Every week, they teach a group of 8-to-14-year-olds how to cook a new dish, and a handicraft such as sewing, embroidering, clay jewelry and card marking. The camp was designed to combat loneliness in older adults and give them an opportunity to share life skills with kids. It was organized with the Golden Connections Club, started by high school student Leena Albinali to foster interactions between teens and elders. Albinali says this connection is important because both groups have things to share with each other.

Senate heads home with no deal to speed confirmations as irate Trump tells Schumer to ‘go to hell’

August 2, 2025

The Senate is leaving Washington Saturday night for its monthlong August recess without a deal to advance dozens of President Donald Trump’s nominees. The chamber is calling it quits after days of contentious bipartisan negotiations and Trump posting on social media that Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer can “GO TO HELL!” Without a deal in hand, Republicans say they may try to change Senate rules when they return in September to speed up the pace of confirmations. Trump has been pressuring senators to move quickly as Democrats blocked more nominees than usual this year, denying any quick unanimous consent votes and forcing roll calls on each one.
