"In resigning from the presidency 50 years ago this week, Nixon did more than make history — he created a template for presidential scandal that has stuck in the American mind."

Fifty years after President Richard Nixon’s resignation, it’s time to build new systems of political accountability, writes historian Nicole Hemmer.

"To close this gap and get ahead of increasing cyber threats, the United States must take the lead in identifying and designating nations that harbor cybercriminal organizations," write Frank Cilluffo and Joshua Whitman

Designating states as sponsors of cybercrime, much like the State Department designates state sponsors of terrorism, is overdue and necessary, write Frank Cilluffo and Joshua Whitman.

"It’s been a head-spinning political summer. There has been civic violence and gun violence and assassination attempts and intense heat and the sudden retirement of one candidate and the ascent of another. There’s a lot on the line this fall. We all have a lot to talk about. We have big decisions to make. As we do: I wonder if grounding in joy might help us plot a way forward."

Sometimes, writing about poems here at CNN, I felt like a stealth poetry whisperer. But those of you who joined me in this space seemed to savor the whispering, writes Tess Taylor.

"I have seen the impact of serious diseases and the promise of new vaccines as they are being developed. Sadly, I also have seen how these tools are not universally embraced."

Mohamed Bassyouni has helped develop vaccines. He also has felt the pernicious effects of vaccine hesitancy, he writes.

"Refusing to allow doctors of certain backgrounds to volunteer cannot be considered simply a bureaucratic prerogative; it is a direct denial of health and well-being to the people of Gaza."

Ali Elaydi planned to take part in a humanitarian medical mission in Gaza, but Israel is blocking anyone of Palestinian descent from taking part in such efforts.

"Across the country, some officials — overwhelmingly Republicans — are looking for ways to usher underage workers into potentially dangerous jobs like factory work, including having them take late-night shifts."

"Natural disasters can have devastating financial consequences for individuals and households, yet few are fully protected. With a record number of recent disasters, including severe storms, flooding and wildfires, and an active hurricane season forecast that has already seen Beryl hit Texas, it’s a bad time to be disaster-poor," writes former FEMA Deputy Administrator Daniel Kaniewski

As disaster devastation increases, many lack the financial preparedness skills and tools necessary to bounce back and think FEMA aid will be enough, writes Daniel Kaniewski.

Instead of guarding, protecting, defending and saving, as a coast guard should do, China is attacking, intimidating, violating and threatening, writes Richard Timme.

"Whether to prevent a near-drowning like mine or to cool off during increasingly hot summer months, accessible public pools are vital to the health of entire communities. Unfortunately, too many communities today lack an affordable community pool of their own."

After nearly drowning as a child, Cullen Jones started swim lessons and went on to Olympic greatness. For their safety, all kids deserve access to pools, he says.

"Gen Zers are surprisingly idealistic about romance and soulmates. So, what is standing in the way of our happily ever after? It’s a post-pandemic mix of social anxiety and self-awareness."

Gen Zers are changing the dating game, writes Sara Forastieri Vicente, and their reasons for doing it explain a lot about what all generations are up against in this moment in culture.
