Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo filed a lawsuit against Attorney General Letitia James for failing to provide him with legal representation when he was taken to court over harassment allegations. "Sexually harassing young women who work for you is not part of anyone’s job description,’ a spokesperson for James told the New York Daily News Thursday. "Taxpayers should not have to pony up for legal bills that could reach millions of dollars so Mr. Cuomo’s lawyer can attack survivors of his abuse." According to court documents filed Wednesday, Cuomo argues that he is entitled to representation at the state's expense to defend a lawsuit against him because the allegations against him happened "while he was acting within the scope of his public employment and … [Read more...] about Andrew Cuomo sues NY AG to cover legal costs in harassment lawsuit

During his time working as the top White House physician, U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson , R-Amarillo, berated employees, made sexual comments about a female subordinate, and violated the policy for drinking alcohol on a presidential trip, according to a report from the Department of Defense inspector general obtained by CNN . 'A NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT': Texas leaders respond to Abbott lifting mask mandate The report also found that the freshman Texas congressman took prescription-strength sleeping medication that raised concerns from Jackson’s colleagues about his ability to provide proper care. The findings in the report stem from a yearslong investigation into Jackson, who was nominated in 2018 by former President Donald Trump to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs. But Jackson withdrew from consideration during allegations of professional misconduct, including drinking on the job and overprescribing medication. At the time, Jackson called the accusations … [Read more...] about Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson accused of sexual comments, drinking on job at White House

The FBI raid on former President Donald Trump took place just days after historians met with President Joe Biden last week, reportedly warning him of a looming civil war. On August 4, several historians met with Biden at the White House warning him that America was facing divisions similar to that of the years before the Civil War before the 1860 election, according to The Washington Post. The group of historians included historian Jon Meacham, journalist Anne Applebaum, Princeton professor Sean Wilentz, University of Virginia historian Allida Black and presidential historian Michael Beschloss, according to the reports.

The last confirmation hearings for a Supreme Court nominee were a launching pad for Sen. Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. Two years later, the looming confirmation battle for the nation’s highest court could help propel her into the White House. In a year when the word “unprecedented” has been rendered basically meaningless, the California senator’s dual role as both a vice presidential nominee and one of the most prominent members of the Senate Judiciary Committee is a historical first. Progressives are hoping that Harris’ aggressive cross-examination of Brett Kavanaugh during the explosive 2018 hearings investigating allegations of sexual misconduct are a preview of a similar performance in the coming weeks as the panel considers President Donald Trump’s potential third justice on the Supreme Court—this time, under an even brighter spotlight. “There’s really only two political events that capture the attention of the whole country: Supreme Court hearings, and presidential … [Read more...] about SCOTUS Hearing Could Put Kamala Center Stage in 2020 Brawl

When does a cliffhanger cross the line? It’s a question some viewers of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills want to know. Last week’s episode ended with “to be continued,” Bravo’s oft-used dramatic signal to the audience that a cliffhanger of drama would continue. There are numerous times this has been used successfully to engage the audience in heightened drama—on The Real Housewives of New York City alone it was shown during a meltdown in the Berkshires, the nearly-capsized Boat Ride from Hell in Cartagena, and when Luann de Lesseps discovered it was, in fact, about Tom —but the recent dramatic embellishment on RHOBH landed differently, because of the topic on hand. Beverly Hills Housewife Crystal Kung Minkoff had opened up on the show about her struggles with bulimia and body dysmorphia. And over the last two episodes, Minkoff was approached with questions and comments from her cast that could be deemed inappropriate to direct to someone with an eating disorder. … [Read more...] about ‘I Was So Embarrassed’: Crystal Kung Minkoff Slams ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Eating Disorder Jokes

House Republicans are planning to whip the vote against the “Inflation Reduction” Act with zero GOP defections — to force the Democrats to “own” the massive spending bill. Republicans are working to make sure all of their members are in Washington, DC to cast their vote on the bill in person, and intend to pressure Democrats to do the same — to go on record with their position in person, a senior House Republican staffer told Breitbart News. “We’re going to make sure that we have everybody in town voting, so that if these Democrats want to vote to raise taxes, during a recession, they’ll have to go on record to do it,” the staffer told Breitbart. The GOP is also looking to highlight the more egregious items in the massive spending bill, using it as a cudgel against Democrats. “I think the big fight is just going to be making them own the bill. I think this bill is going to be their own worst enemy. When you look at doubling the size of the IRS, tripling the size of the EPA, … [Read more...] about Zero House Republicans to Vote for ‘Inflation Reduction’ Act

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Thursday announced a program to help U.S. veterans to become teachers in the Sunshine State, explaining that it is fitting to have those “who took an oath and put his or her life on the line to preserve, protect, and defend our flag and the freedom it represents” to teach the next generation. “We begin the new school year. Florida’s leading the way by bringing some of the best, the brightest, and the bravest among us into our classrooms through a new program that helps military veterans become teachers,” DeSantis announced. “If you served in the military for at least four years, were honorably discharged, have taken 60 college credits and pass a subject area exam, we want you to be able to teach Florida students,” the conservative governor said, explaining that veterans have a “wealth of knowledge and experience” they can bring to the classroom. “With this innovative approach, they will be able to do so for five years with a temporary … [Read more...] about DeSantis to Help Veterans Become Teachers in Florida

“Hey! I had sex in that pantry!” That’s what I said to Madrone Art Bar owner Spike Krouse, grinning as we passed through the kitchen of his apartment, which is connected by a secret staircase that leads to the venue he owns downstairs. This was not the first time I’ve bragged to Krouse about my lustful dalliance in his larder, but it is probably the first time I’ve seen this place since the licentious act occurred at a Halloween party in 2006. Back then, the apartment was full of rambunctious 20-somethings who threw raucous parties and staged naked photo shoots (not necessarily at the same time, but really, anything is possible). Settling down over some mezcal at his living room table, we begin to chat about the much-adored downstairs bar that Krouse has helmed since 2008. While there, I can’t stop myself from marveling at what a difference 16 years and some semi-responsible grownups can do to a place. What I foggily remember as the type of giant, quirky, San … [Read more...] about How a Western Addition pharmacy became one of SF’s most cherished party bars

Opinion by Nora Neus Updated 1049 GMT (1849 HKT) August 11, 2022 Nora Neus is anchor producer for John Berman at CNN. She is the author of "24 Hours in Charlottesville," a forthcoming oral history about the 2017 White nationalist riot in Charlottesville, Virginia. The views expressed here are her own. View more opinion on CNN. (CNN) On a Saturday afternoon, August 12, 2017, Tadrint "Tay" Washington drove to downtown Charlottesville to visit a friend. It was a hot and muggy day in central Virginia. Washington had just graduated from an EMT course and done well on her practical exam. Just one written exam remained before she could officially make good on her promise to herself to find a job she was passionate about and that could provide a good life for her then-seven-year-old daughter. Washington's friend wasn't home, so she got back into her car and headed for home. The regular route was blocked; a detour pushed her further downtown. It was crowded, way more … [Read more...] about Opinion: Five years after deadly violence in Charlottesville, she’s still trying to live through it

In a quiet corner of the bohemian district of San Frediano, hidden behind an 18th-century iron gate that opens onto a whimsical wisteria-covered alleyway, lies a Florentine cultural treasure: the Antico Setificio Fiorentino , or Antique Florentine Silk Mill, which has been producing precious textiles since 1786. To enter through the atelier’s large, worn timber door is to slip back through time and revisit the enchantment and beauty of a more opulent era. Inside, 18th- and 19th-century timber and iron looms, some towering over 16 feet tall, clatter furiously in rhythm with tens of thousands of luminous silk threads, weaving warp and weft yarns into sumptuous fabrics, guided by the skilled hands of a select team of expert artisans. Since moving to Italy in 2003, I’ve grown increasingly fascinated with the country’s highly talented artisans, their intriguing workshops and the quality of their products, particularly in the Tuscan capital of Florence. When I … [Read more...] about A Glimpse Inside a Florentine Silk-Weaving Workshop
