Former aide says New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo kissed her, suggested strip poker
ALBANY, N.Y. — A former member of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration who previously accused him of sexual harassment offered new details Wednesday, saying he once kissed her on the lips without consent. Lindsey Boylan said that during her more than three years in the Democrat’s administration, Cuomo “would go out of his way to touch me on my lower back, arms and legs,” compared her to one of his rumored ex-girlfriends and once remarked they should play strip poker. Cuomo’s spokesperson Caitlin Girouard said that all Boylan’s “claims of inappropriate behavior are quite simply false.” But the state legislature’s two top leaders criticized Cuomo’s alleged conduct Wednesday as calls grew for an investigation.

(CNN) For years, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham was a prominent sidekick to his maverick colleague from Arizona, John McCain, as the two served as moderate voices of conscience in Washington, DC.

Bond How, though, did he morph into former President Donald Trump's chief lickspittle in the US Senate, who just this past weekend headed down to Mar-a-Lago to discuss the Republican Party's future? One could speculate endlessly about the reasons: his desire to avoid a Trump-inspired primary against him in 2020, potential presidential aspirations, etc. But I think it's far simpler: as a political opportunist, Graham has placed his desire for power above his own professed standards of … [Read more...] about The mysterious case of Lindsey Graham’s political transformation
Peace Corps Marks 60 Years of Global Volunteerism
The U.S. Peace Corps turns 60 Monday. Since its establishment through executive order by President John F. Kennedy on March 1, 1961, the Peace Corps has sent more than 240,000 volunteers to 141 countries. The organization quickly became an icon of the idealistic 1960s. The goal was to foster peace and understanding by sending mostly young, college-educated or otherwise experienced Americans to developing countries for two-year stints, helping with education, health, community economic development, agriculture, the environment and youth development. The idea for the Peace Corps came during the 1960 presidential campaign when Kennedy gave an impromptu speech on the steps of the University of Michigan’s student union on Oct. 14. During the speech, he asked students if they would be willing to serve their country and the cause of peace by volunteering to work in the developing world. "How many of you who are going to be doctors, are willing to spend your days in Ghana? Technicians … [Read more...] about Peace Corps Marks 60 Years of Global Volunteerism
