John Kennedy: Winter is coming
October 21, 2026 - Op-Ed Contributor By John Kennedy, Executive Director, Community Action Council Back in July, as temperatures soared across Ohio and the rest of the country, I came across an article that shook me to my core. The Guardian reported that the U.S. Department of Energy had deleted more than 1,600 webpages related to energy efficiency. Specifically, DOE removed 774 pages covering lighting and another 772 related to heating and cooling.

Jack Smith Secretly Collected Data on Thousands of Trump Donors

Patel Grilled on FBI Overhaul as Senate Dems Defend Bureau Status Quo
Kash Patel faced intense questioning from Senate Democrats during his confirmation hearing, with notes revealing strategic preparation for confrontation over his FBI leadership agenda. Senator Durbin and other Democrats pushed back against Patel's plans to reshape the bureau, while conservative senators like Kennedy challenged the current FBI's direction. Patel defended his vision of a reformed FBI focused on crime-fighting and homeland defense rather than what he views as mission creep.
Op-ed: One meal. One child. One family at a time
August 19, 2026 - Op-Ed Contributor By John Kennedy, Executive Director, Community Action Council of Portage County 2026 has been a challenging and difficult year for a lot of families in Portage County, with many living paycheck to paycheck, barely keeping up with the rising cost of, well, everything. But even in these trying times, it is important – and perhaps necessary – to celebrate some of the good that is happening, too.
Op-ed: A better reflection of who we are
By John Kennedy, Executive Director, Community Action Council of Portage County You probably missed it, with the war in Iran consuming most of the headlines. President Trump issued his 2027 budget — and, not surprisingly, he once again (as he did last year) zeroed-out programs that help low-income families offset energy costs, which have skyrocketed. This past winter was a brutal one here in northeast Ohio, with average temps well below 20 degrees Fahrenheit in January and February.
Op-ed: Poverty in plain sight
By John Kennedy, Director, Community Action Council, former Portage County Treasurer Talking about poverty is not easy. Not because it is unimportant — not when tens of millions of Americans live in poverty’s vice grip. Talking about it makes us uncomfortable because it forces us to confront hard questions about fairness, responsibility, and whether the systems we have built are working. One of my favorite national leaders is Rev. William J.
Men’s mental health crisis in India
The reasons are varied but clustered under the deceptively plain term ‘family problems’: debt, illness, substance abuse, infertility, extramarital affairs, and domestic conflict.

How to make the most of post-exam holidays
As the examination season draws to a close, students and parents in India are grappling with how best to use the post-exam period. Is it to be a time solely dedicated to relaxation, or should students consider engaging in productive activities to further their growth? In the Indian context, three predominant responses emerge following the completion of 12th-grade exams. One group eagerly embraces the opportunity to unwind after years of arduous schooling.
Development proposed at Shamut T stop still too big
OVER THE COURSE of several years, plans to develop the Shawmut Station site on Centre Street in Dorchester have gone through several phases. Developer Trinity Financial has shrunk its original behemoth, but the project on the site of an auto body shop is still far too big for this neighborhood. Even worse, it will limit the ability of Epiphany School, which has achieved great success for decades, from growing and serving even more kids.

Synths, shrooms and the new sound
Five grams is officially a heroic amount of shrooms. Imagine a Yorkshireman and you're already picturing this man: let’s call him ‘Mr. Synth’. Buzzed head, bushy beard, broad shoulders. A look that’s hard and a voice that’s friendly: Yorkshire all over. Fifty years ago, he would have been working down the mines – now he's the vocalist in an up-and-coming Sheffield trip-hop band. “What's it like?” “Pretty fuckin’ weird. You know how normally we have reality all around us?
Student occupation of Cantor building continues
F: “It was terrifying. Because, you know, we were trying to keep the doors closed, security was shouting obscenities at us. After that, security managed to get in, and chased two of us. One of the security guards was at least twice my size, sprinting towards me, so obviously I ran, but then he tackled me and held me down.” F (name anonymised to protect their identity) is one of several students currently occupying Sheffield Hallam University’s Cantor building.
A financial strategy allows us to live well and end well
John Kennedy | Director and Regional Head | Citadel Wealth Management | mail me | A question that’s not asked often enough is whether the way we go about retirement planning is necessarily the best way. All too often, this milestone is overshadowed by the pressure of whether we’ve saved enough to see us through our next life stage: a new stage in which our future is directly correlated to how well we’ve managed to plan in the past.

John N. Kennedy: Louisiana starts 2021 with $1.3 billion less in debt for its levees
Our state sees more than its fair share of natural disasters. After Hurricane Katrina broke our levees and stole the lives of more than 1,500 Louisianans, everyone recognized we needed better levees to defend southeast Louisiana against future storms. With few options, Louisiana agreed to let the Army Corps of Engineers build a flood protection system for the New Orleans region, one that meets the standards for national flood insurance.

U.S. Sen. John Kennedy, AG Jeff Landry column: Criminal justice reform actually hurting public safety
Ricko Canaz Ball is a career criminal undeterred and unrehabilitated by years behind bars. Twenty years ago, his crimes included stealing a minivan, stereo equipment and guns — not to mention endangering lives by leading police on a high-speed chase.
