In a letter, six Democratic senators urged the U.S. Agriculture Department to act immediately to safeguard the benefits cards that are being used to steal grocery money from low-income families. Over $150 million in stolen benefits have been returned to SNAP participants by the federal government since the previous fiscal year, according to data. In a letter to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, the senators stated that a proposed rule regarding modernizing the cards, which the Agriculture Department has not yet released, would stop the thefts from spreading, but the actual amount taken from needy households is probably much higher than that. The letter, which was received Monday evening and initially published by NBC News, stated that the USDA should move quickly to mandate that state-iss...

According to recent study, at least 37 persons may have been systematically dismembered and devoured in the wake of an extraordinarily violent attack in early Bronze Age England.

The study's lead scientist, Rick Schulting, told NBC News via email on Monday that they had been subjected to greater violence than would often...
