We’re now headed into the fourth week of the legislative session and have completed two full weeks of work on bills in the Senate’s policy committees. Some of these measures will head directly to the Senate floor for consideration, while many of the bills have a fiscal impact and must be considered by the Appropriations Committee before advancing.
DEAR HARRIETTE: A couple of months ago, I got back into the dating scene after focusing on myself for a while. I met a handsome guy who goes to church, has a good job and is ambitious and sweet. Dating him has been great, and it’s exactly the sort of romance I prefer. I decided to open up to my friends about this new person, and I learned that a girlfriend of mine dated him a year or two ago. She says it was very casual, which is a relief. Now, though, the thought of physical intimacy is looming in my mind. Should I leave this guy alone? – Lover and Friend DEAR LOVER AND FRIEND:

Recently, Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, raised the prospect of impeaching President Donald Trump over the Justice Department’s decision to withdraw the indictment of New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The Trump administration is engaged in “an attack on the Department of Justice for engaging in corruption prosecutions,” Raskin told CBS. Such behavior “could be impeachable in a different political environment.”
DEAR HARRIETTE: What do you do if you’re a bridesmaid, but the wedding expenses are mounting? This is my best friend’s wedding, and I’d hate to miss out, but some of these things are too demanding: engagement party, bridal shower, bachelorette party, dress, hair, makeup, alterations and more. The list of events and expenses just keeps growing. Should I bring this up to the bride, or politely bow out? – Bridesmaid Duties DEAR BRIDESMAID DUTIES:
