FBI agent acquitted in 2020 train shooting arrested in Maryland for alleged sexual assault against 2 women
An FBI agent who was acquitted of attempted murder after shooting a man on a train nearly four years ago was arrested in Maryland on Monday on charges stemming from allegations that he sexually assaulted two women. Valdivia has been suspended by the FBI pending the conclusion of the Montgomery County police investigation, a spokesperson for the FBI said in a statement. The FBI agent was later charged with attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault, firearm use in a violent crime and reckless endangerment. Attorney Robert Bonsib, who represented Valdivia in the train shooting case, confirmed that the FBI agent was arrested Monday on sexual assault accusations. Valdivia joined the FBI in 2011 before he was promoted to supervisory special agent at the FBI headquarters in 2019, according to Bonsib.

Elsewhere in his interview with the LA Times, Stephen revealed that Ariana was more receptive to a different tweak to Popular.

One Year Ago Today (November 26, 2023)…LA Times Seeks LAFD Member Misconduct Records
One Year Ago Today (November 26, 2023)…The Los Angeles Times has taken legal action against the city of Los Angeles to obtain records of alleged sexual harassment and other misconduct by Los Angeles Fire Department members that the newspaper maintains is being wrongfully withheld. The Times’ Los Angeles Superior Court petition cites the California Public Records Act in asking a judge to order the release of all non-exempt documents requested. A representative for the City Attorney’s Office did not immediately reply to a request for comment on the petition brought Monday. “Under a body of law that goes back almost 45 years, public agencies, including the city, must disclose government records reflecting well-founded allegations of misconduct against public employees,” the petition states. The LAFD’s alleged denial of the employee misconduct records violates the CPRA and improperly prevents The Times and the public from understanding how the LAFD investigates complaints against employees and imposes discipline, according to the petition.

Medicare proposes covering weight-loss drugs, teeing up clash with RFK Jr.
Beneficiaries who are overweight would not be eligible unless they have another condition such as diabetes that qualifies for weight-loss drugs. While the rules were written for the Medicare program, which covers older Americans, the new interpretation of weight-loss drugs also applies to Medicaid, which covers low-income Americans. Unlike Kennedy, the longtime TV personality has repeatedly praised weight-loss drugs. Experts credited the use of weight-loss drugs for the slight decline. Those drugs have been gaining popularity, and lawmakers have pushed to expand federal coverage for the treatments.

Adele Ends Las Vegas Residency, Says She Doesn’t Know When She’ll Perform Again
Share LinkedIn Pin EmailJohn Katsilometes/Las Vegas Review-Journal/TNSAdele is sending her love to Las Vegas as she finishes out her more than two-year residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The “Hello” singer, 36, launched her “Weekends With Adele” residency in November 2022 after a controversial last-minute postponement — which she initially attributed to “delivery delays and COVID” but later said was due to her “artistic needs” not being met — and has since extended the run twice. Closing out her 100th and final show Saturday, she expressed her gratitude for her Vegas gig despite its “rocky” start.”“I’m so sad this residency is over but I am so glad that it happened,” Adele said in footage posted on YouTube, adding that her initial postponement in 2022 came during “one of the worst years of my life.”“Had I done that show that I canceled,” she said, she “wouldn’t be standing here tonight.”Adele went on to thank her fans for traveling to Vegas to see her show, her partner Rich Paul for encouraging her when she felt depleted, and the Colosseum “for giving me that second chance.”“Weekends With Adele,” the 16-time Grammy winner said, was “just what I needed for this season of my life.” Most importantly, opting for a residency rather than a world tour after the release of her 2021 album “30” has allowed her to spend weekends with her son Angelo and to “keep his life normal.”“I will miss it terribly, I will miss you terribly. I don’t know when I next want to perform again,” Adele said. But even though the singer doesn’t have any concrete plans to return to the stage, she reassured fans, “Of course I’ll be back, the only thing I’m good at is singing.”More from CafeMom: Adele Collapses During Show & Says Team ‘Picked My Whole Body Up Off the Floor’

Walmart Withdraws From Diversity Initiatives Amid Conservative Backlash
Walmart Withdraws From Diversity Initiatives Amid Conservative Backlash The retail giant rolls back DEI policies following pressure from conservative activists and recent legal challengesWalmart, the world’s largest retailer, has made headlines by rolling back its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, becoming one of the most significant corporations to do so amid increasing conservative scrutiny. This move has sparked debates about the future of corporate diversity efforts, especially following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling against affirmative action. Alongside these changes, Walmart stated it aims to monitor its online marketplace, becoming more vigilant about products it claims might be inappropriate for minors. A group of Democrats recently urged Fortune 1000 companies to maintain their DEI initiatives, emphasizing their importance for fostering opportunities for historically excluded individuals. Only time will tell where this corporate tug-of-war leads, as both proponents and opponents of DEI initiatives stand firm on their respective positions.

Opinion | Why American democracy will survive
In the middle of the night after the election, one of our students dashed off an email, panicking about the future of American democracy. But the institutional framework of the United States is firm and resilient. This is unlikely to happen in the United States. The key takeaway from our comparative research is this: There are indeed choppy waters ahead for American democracy. But we are confident that the United States is a strong ship that even an unhinged captain cannot run aground.
