Gov. Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women, investigation finds
 THE BIG STORY
Gov. Andrew Cuomo "sexually harassed multiple women," a New York attorney general investigation has found
His harassment of former state employees was a pattern that created a hostile work environment and violated several federal and state laws, New York Attorney General Letitia James said.
Joon Kim, a former federal prosecutor who co-led the investigation, said that evidence found Cuomo had inappropriately touched multiple women without permission — "touching and grabbing of their most intimate body parts," as well as making inappropriate sexualized comments. Eleven women made complaints against the governor, nine of whom were current or former state employees, and their testimonies are disturbing.

Immigrant parents separated from their children at the border are finally being reunited, but many are struggling financially
In the nearly four years she spent away from her sons in El Salvador after being separated by the Trump administration, Lisy would dream of being able to hold them again. That day finally came last month, but the reunion was overshadowed by her inability to financially provide for her family.
And her story isn't uncommon. So far, families from the first group of reunifications have reported homelessness shortly after entering the country, according to government documents obtained by BuzzFeed News. Axios first reported that at least one-third of about 41 previously separated immigrant families experienced homelessness after being reunited.
To help solve the problem, the Biden administration's family reunification task force wants the Department of Health and Human Services to offer resettlement services for families, including English classes, money, and medical assistance. But it's unclear, according to the documents, whether the government has the authority to fund the process.
