In separate lawsuits filed Thursday, three men accused Sean Diddy Combs of sexual assault and rape. They claim the rap mogul assaulted them while they were unconscious after giving them tampered beverages. Attorney Thomas Giuffra filed the anonymous cases in the New York State Supreme Court, citing events that occurred between 2019 and 2022. They all claim that Combs sexually abused and raped them.

The man claimed that he ran errands for Combs from 2006 to 2018 and that, although they weren't friends, he didn't anticipate being abused when he met with him in early 2020. However, the man ...

Washington Despite President Joe Biden's vow to veto it, the House of Representatives on Thursday approved a bipartisan bill supported by the federal judiciary that would add hundreds of new judgeships. Prior to President-elect Donald Trump's election victory last month, the law was regarded as uncontroversial and had already passed the Senate with bipartisan backing. Massachusetts' House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark urged colleagues to vote against the bill in a memo she sent out prior to Thursday's vote. She noted that although this plan aims to address our court system's backlog, House Democrats should maintain objectivity on the implications of permitting a sizable number of new, vacant judgeships in the event of a Trump administration. On Thursday, the bill was approved by the Ho...

Washington Despite President Joe Biden's vow to veto it, the House of Representatives on Thursday approved a bipartisan bill supported by the federal judiciary that would add hundreds of new judgeships. Prior to President-elect Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election, the law was seen as uncontroversial and had already passed the Senate with bipartisan support. With 29 Democrats voting in favor, the bill cleared the House on Thursday by a vote of 236–173. In August, it was unanimously approved by the Senate. According to a statement from House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., Democrats at the time backed the bill because they believed Kamala Harris would win the presidency. However, due to party politics, the Biden-Harris Administration has decided to threaten a veto, and Democr...
