As I write this, hundreds of people are converging on the streets of Washington, D.C., and in the halls of the U.S. Capitol with T-shirts saying "Believe Women." Does anyone bother to ask what this really means?

AMY CLARK: A modern day David and Goliath in Texas

This weekend, thousands marched on the Texas Capitol in celebration of life and in memory of the more than 50 million lives lost since the infamous Roe v. Wade decision in 1973.

AMY CLARK: The truth about the State of the Union

On Monday, the White House tweeted out: "The #EmptySeat in the State of the Union guest box will speak for those who no longer have a voice." As expected, people took quickly to Twitter with their interpretations of that comment.

AMY CLARK: Climate change instead of ISIS threat. Really?

AMY CLARK: The Debate: Low expectations, lots of popcorn

The moment the whole country has been waiting for ... well, actually, not really. The expected ratings for the Democratic Party debate hosted by CNN hover around the 5 million mark -- not even in the same universe as the estimated 25 million people who tuned in to the Republican debate on CNN.

AMY CLARK: What I wish the pope would say to Congress

A pontifical-portrait toaster, Papal brewskies, pontifex-inspired milkshakes, a life-sized, cardboard cutout of Francis himself, and even, yes, holy cheese! Sounds like the pope has come to town.
