Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:00:30 GMT

Senator Elizabeth Warren announced Monday that she will be running for reelection. In a video on social media, Warren said she is running for her third term to deliver results for the Commonwealth, end corruption in Washington, make our economy work for the middle class, and protect our democracy.“I first ran for Senate because I saw how the system is rigged for the rich and powerful and against everyone else. I won because Massachusetts voters know it, too. And now I’m running for Senate again because there’s a lot more we’ve got to do,” Warren said in the video announcement.“We know it won’t be easy.

Drivers had to stop in the middle of the busy road to try to safely corral the pup, but it wasn’t easy“You could see the dog running on the highway,” said witness Masha Petrova. “Everybody from the cars in front of us started leaving the cars.” Good Samaritans who could see the dog was in danger blocked off traffic and tried to make a rescue. “Everyone was kind of worried but also smiling, the puppy is cute, it was just the idea of helping and everyone was truly hopeful,” Petrova added.People tried different tactics to tried to get a hold of the dog, including offering the pup treats. “The puppy just looked really scared and would not go towards anybody,” Petrova said.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A new abortion provider is opening this year in Democratic-controlled Maryland — just across from deeply conservative West Virginia, where state lawmakers recently passed a near-total abortion ban.The Women’s Health Center of Maryland in Cumberland, roughly 5 miles (8 kilometers) from West Virginia, will open its doors in June — a year after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned federal abortion protections — to provide abortions to patients across central Appalachia, a region clinic operators say is an “abortion desert.” “Hours in any direction, there are no other abortion providers here — it’s smack dab in the middle of an absolute abortion desert, and that’s by design,” said Katie Quiñonez, executive director of the Charleston-based Women’s Health Center of West Virginia, the state’s lone abortion clinic until it was forced to stop the procedures after legislators in September passed a ban with narrow exemptions.The Cumberland clinic will be...

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — China’s global influence campaign has been surprisingly robust and successful in Utah, an investigation by The Associated Press has found.The world’s most powerful communist country and its U.S.-based advocates have spent years building relationships with Utah officials.Legislators in the deeply conservative and religious state have responded by delaying legislation Beijing didn’t like, nixing resolutions that conveyed displeasure with China’s actions and expressing support in ways that enhanced the Chinese government’s image.The AP’s investigation relied on dozens of interviews with key players and the review of hundreds of pages of records, text messages and emails obtained through public records’ requests. Beijing’s success in Utah shows “how pervasive and persistent China has been in trying to influence America,” said Frank Montoya Jr., a retired FBI counterintelligence agent who lives in Utah.“Utah is an important foothold,” he said...
