Another person was pushed onto the tracks of a New York subway station Sunday - a little more than a week after an Asian American woman died after being shoved in front of a train in Times Square. The two incidents, which the New York Police Department said were both unprovoked, have thrust the issue of subway violence back into the spotlight and sparked widespread calls for officials to do more to protect subway riders. A 62-year-old man whose name has not been released publicly was pushed onto the tracks of a southbound train at Fulton Street subway station in Lower Manhattan, the NYPD said in a statement to The Washington Post, adding that he made contact with the first car of the train and fell onto the tracks.

A Republican congressman running for U.S. Senate in Missouri released a 30-second ad Thursday that falsely claims the 2020 election was “rigged” and “stolen” from former President Donald Trump. Billy Long, who represents a southwestern Missouri district in the U.S. House, is among several candidates seeking the GOP nomination in 2022 for the seat being vacated by Sen. Roy Blunt, who is not seeking a third term. In the ad, Long cites his early support of Trump. “But the Democrats rigged the election. Now we have Biden and the far-left crazies letting inflation rise faster than an auctioneer rattling off numbers,” Long says. “I’m running for Senate to stop the insanity, stop the wokeness, and stop the Democrats from stealing another election.” Federal and state election officials and Trump’s own attorney general have said there is no credible evidence the election was tainted. The former president’s allegations of fraud were also roundly rejected by courts, including by judges … [Read more...] about Missouri Senate candidate ad falsely claims stolen election

14 GRETNA, Va. - There was so much Fredrick Miller didn't know about the handsome house here on Riceville Road. He grew up just a half-mile away and rode past it on his school bus every day. It was hard to miss. The home's Gothic revival gables, six chimneys, diamond-paned windows and sweeping lawn were as distinctive a sight as was to be seen in this rural southern Virginia community. But Miller, 56, an Air Force veteran who now lives in California, didn't give it much thought. He didn't know it had once been a plantation or that 58 people had once been enslaved there. He never considered that its past had anything to do with him. Two years ago, when his sister called to say the estate was for sale, he jumped on it. He'd been looking, pulled home to the place he left at 18. His roots were deep in this part of Pittsylvania County, and he wanted a place where his vast extended family, … [Read more...] about An old Virginia plantation, a new owner and a family legacy unveiled

As the Omicron variant of COVID-19 continues to spread, it's important to take charge of your health and monitor your body for signs and symptoms (even if you're fully vaccinated ). Since cold symptoms and COVID symptoms can sometimes look and feel similar, experts recommend testing yourself whenever you experience symptoms of viral illness. And, yes, that goes for people with their booster shots, too. Thankfully, plenty of companies now offer tests you can do at home, no prescription required. But how does a rapid, at-home test work? These tests are designed to detect viral proteins called antigens, according to The New York Times . Usually, the kits contain a nasal swab. After swabbing the inside of your nostrils, you'll have to dip the swab in a small container of chemicals. Then, around 15 minutes later, the test will provide your results. Just make sure to read the instructions carefully, as each test differs slightly. While at-home tests are generally … [Read more...] about The 7 best rapid, at-home COVID-19 tests that you can still buy online
