Poetry has been an important part of various cultures over the centuries. It is often a highly celebrated art, so there is no wonder that many cultures and societies dedicate days to their most prized poets and writers. Some of those poets are so important that their days have spread and become global celebrations. One of these examples is the very popular Rumi Day, which celebrates the life and works of the Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī, or Rumi as he is more commonly known.

With persistent gridlock in Washington, a government shutdown looks more and more likely ahead of this weekend's deadline NEW YORK -- With gridlock persisting in Washington, a government shutdown is looking more and more likely ahead of Saturday night's deadline. As the Senate marches ahead with a bipartisan approach aimed at keeping the government open, spending measures are still struggling to pass the Republican-controlled House. If a shutdown arrives, millions of federal employees will be furloughed and many others — including those working in the military and the Transportation Security Administration — will be forced to work without pay until it ends. A handful of federal programs that people nationwide rely on everyday could also be disrupted — from dwindling funds for food assistance to potential delays in customer service for recipients of Medicare and Social Security. The ripple effects would come down to how long the shutdown lasts and varying contingency plans in p...

Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said the same regarding violent crime. A government shutdown could have a " dangerous " impact on the nation's cyber defenses as well as on state and federal efforts to combat violent crime, a top Justice Department official said Tuesday. "The cascading effects of something like this is really, I think, quite dangerous and quite irresponsible," Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said in an interview Tuesday morning with Washington Post Live. "We need to be able to give our employees certainty that they can come to work and do their job." With the Oct. 1 funding deadline looming, Monaco raised alarm over the thousands of staffers across DOJ's 115,000-plus workforce who could be furloughed as a result of a shutdown, as well as grants that could be stalled that aid local police departments around the country.

Both men blame their political opponents for their situations, but most Americans see it differently. Americans are divided on a congressional impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden and it's a fairly close call on whether former President Donald Trump should be eligible for a second term – two results in an ABC News/Washington Post poll that demonstrate the country's profound political polarization. At the same time, while their situations are very different, more than half see accountability, rather than political victimization, in both Biden's situation and Trump's facing criminal charges. Overall, 44% say that based on what they know, Congress should begin impeachment proceedings that could lead to Biden being removed from office. Forty-seven percent say it should not. In partisan terms, 74% of Republicans favor impeachment proceedings; 83% of Democrats oppose them. Independents split down the middle, 46-45%. MORE: House Republicans set 1st Biden impeachm...

Sweden’s central bank has raised its key interest rate, saying the “inflationary pressures in the Swedish economy are still too high.” STOCKHOLM -- Sweden’s central bank raised its key interest rate Thursday, saying that “inflationary pressures in the Swedish economy are still too high,” although there were signs that inflation had begun to fall. The Riksbank raised its policy rate by a quarter of a percentage point to 4% and said its forecast indicated that it could be raised further. ”I NFL ation is also falling in Sweden. The rate of increase in energy and food prices has slowed significantly, which is positive,” the Riksbank said in a statement. But the bank added that “inflation pressures are still too high,” noting that service prices are still rising rapidly and Sweden's currency, the krona, is “unjustifiably weak.” The Swedish currency has plunged to its lowest level ever against the euro and the U.S. dollar. Sweden has been struggling with high inflation — it was 7.5% in A...

Last week in Texas, a federal trial opened over whether Senate Bill 1, or S.B. 1, violates the U.S. Constitution Last week in Texas, a federal trial opened over whether a 2021 voting rights law in the state violates the U.S. Constitution. The suit -- brought on behalf of La Union del Pueblo, or LUPE, and other groups -- argues that certain provisions of Texas Senate Bill 1 have made voting more difficult, especially for less-educated, non-English-speaking and disabled populations in need of voting assistance. The trial began on Sept. 11 and is expected to continue for the next few weeks. S.B. 1 further empowers partisan poll watchers and further enhances ID requirements for voting by mail. It also bans balloting methods that places like Harris County, the third most populous county in the U.S. and the largest in Texas, implemented in response to COVID-19, such as drive-through and 24-hour voting . Harris County, home to Houston, has increasingly voted Democratic in the last decade ...
