There’s an investigation into an Army doctor who was sexually assaulting, filming and even inducing labour without consent.

He may have abused up to 2,500 women.

Why isn’t this bigger news?

It’s the largest sexual abuse case in the military’s history.

This is a really sick story.

From everything I know, Boston’s Logan Airport is a legitimately dangerous place to travel through.

Judge issues major victory for due process in class action lawsuit, rules that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) can no longer detain immigrants without offering them a bond hearing. Everyone gets a bond hearing now.

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.

And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.

Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

If you are a NY-14 constituent worried about detention, consider filling out an ICE privacy release form. This form allows my office to contact ICE on your behalf ⬇️

@vanhollen.senate.gov is correct.
Data centers are important for many reasons BUT consumers should NOT have to pay higher bills to facilitate the huge amounts of electricity they eat up.

The richest companies on the planet are building these centers and they should bear the costs — not you.

Turns out the deal Trump bragged about, the one where China would buy 12 million metric tons of US soybeans by year end, was never an actual deal.
