NYC woman says burglars stole jewelry, tied her and nanny up with duct tape while kids were home

# data[].attributes.body
A New York City woman says burglars forced their way into her Queens home, tied her up and stole her jewelry and other expensive items.

Police said the suspects made off with more than $1 million in valuables, including her wedding ring and Hermes and Chanel bags, shortly after 7:30 p.m. on March 19.

All this happened while the woman's children were inside the multi-million dollar home in the Kew Gardens neighborhood.

"I don't have peace of mind to even come out of my house," said the 36-year-old homeowner, who did not want to show her name or face. Some things that were said after the robbery were "My nanny went out to throw out the garbage, and then when she was coming back in, they followed her in". Moreover "At first, they locked me in a closet. And then I heard my daughter screaming, because they had her in another room. So I banged on the closet, they let me out and, thankfully, they let me be with her the entire time, in her room," she said.

Trump Administration Live Updates: 2 Law Firms Sue to Stop Crippling Executive orders

# data[].attributes.body
This article is about Trump. SNAP is changing, the Health secretary announced that Trump’s administration will begin allowing states to bar recipients of a federal food assistance program. He compared the food companies to tobacco companies saying they each used science to make their products addictive.  Kennedy announced the change to the federal food assistance from using the money to pay for soft drinks as the core component of “Make America Healthy Again”. The Vice President JD Vance and other U.S officials arrived at Greenland where the residents expressed a deep unease about the visit Trump vowed to acquire the island, he said “One way or the other”. Trump has been going after big law firms that he says have “weaponized the legal system”. Two big law firms sued the Trump Administration this Friday. They seeked executive orders against them that could impair their ability to represents clients. This story is taking place on Friday March 28th.This event is occuring in the U.S, but also Greenland where Trump has said he will take over their land one way or another. This story is so important because it's affecting many people. A lot of people are also suing the Trump administration because of the actions he’s taking. Especially when he’s trying to make Canada the 51st state, which was also stated in the article. This might be very controversial to A LOT of people. Some questions I have about this event are, why is Trump trying to take Greenland and claim it as his own land? Why does he want to add another state?I feel like this topic is very controversial and I don’t think he should be taking Greenlands land specially because it’s not right to threaten or scare people that you will take the land they live in. If he was presenting the idea to them it would’ve been better than making them feel uneased. This article can be connected to the debate we had in class because I think Trump is trying to make America’s golden age, but it won’t work because whatever he’s doing isn’t making America a better country. What makes this article so important is the fact that it’s a big issue that can affect others.

President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 25% tariff on imported goods from Canada and Mexico if the countries don’t curb the flow of illicit drugs and illegal migrants into the United States.

If he follows through with that threat, it could have economic consequences for the U.S. lumber supply chain, to an associate professor of forest economics and policy at NC State.

Canada is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of softwood lumber. In 2023, the U.S. imported 28.1 million cubic meters of softwood lumber from Canada, primarily for residential and commercial construction.

Trump’s proposed tariff would require U.S. companies to pay a 25% tax to the U.S. government when importing Canadian softwood lumber products, with the goal of encouraging those companies to invest in domestic production instead.

U.S. companies would likely attempt to recoup tariff-related losses by raising the price of Canadian softwood lumber, which would potentially impact the housing market by making building materials more expensive.

“Tariffs unequivocally work towards pushing domestic lumber prices higher. When that happens, it usually adds up to higher costs for consumers,” Parajuli said.

When domestic lumber prices rise, U.S. companies benefit from increased profits as U.S. consumers have to pay more money for imported lumber, at least as long as demand for building materials and other lumber products remains steady.

Parajuli highlighted the 2006 U.S.–Canada Softwood Lumber Agreement as an example of how tariffs can impact the supply chain. The agreement essentially allowed Canadian provinces to charge an export tax on softwood lumber purchased by U.S. companies.

Under the agreement, which was active until 2015, U.S. lumber producers gained $1.6 billion and U.S. consumers lost $2.3 billion as softwood lumber imports from Canada declined by 78.8% in the months when export taxes took effect.

“U.S. consumers not only paid producers’ gains, but also the losses that resulted from the export taxes,” Parajuli said.

Similar to the 2006 usa Canada Softwood Lumber Agreement, President Trump’s proposed tariff would likely lead to a slight decline in softwood lumber imports from Canada because of increased prices domestically.

Mass layoffs expected to begin at health agencies as Kennedy agenda takes shape

Mass layoffs expected to begin at health agencies as Kennedy agenda takes shape

# data[].attributes.body
As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was sworn in as the HHS (Health and Human Services) secretary back in February of 2025, many people have been concerned more than ever as they brace for mass layoffs. Just recently, an estimated 10,000 full-time jobs were organized to be cut off as a part of the White House's reduction plan. In other words, health agencies across the country are being planned to be downsized as a part of the plan. From CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention), to FDA (Food and Drug Administration), major health agencies like these will potentially see a significant increase in worker layoffs. It is said that despite failing his run for president, Kennedy was determined to form a reduction plan for CDC and NIH (National Institute of Health), and after receiving help from Elon Musk and DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), his plan seemed to have been finally established. This reduction plan has clearly been seen as a wide issue, with many protesting and speaking up against it. In total, this reduction plan will downsize the health department from an estimated 82,000 to 62,000 people.

They compared it to recent earthquakes they had and similar ones that have happened in the area

question(s) do you have about this event?

I wonder how the government will pay for all the damages and how long will it take to start cleaning it up and fully recover from it

(describe your feelings/attitude towards this article).

I felt surprised since i have not heard that they have been affected with this earthquake and it was very unexpected

the article. What does it have to do with you personally? Can it be connected to  another  topic you have read about or discussed in our History class or in any other classes?

This has nothing to do with me and we never talked about earthquakes in history class yet but i do know another recent one that happened which i heard about in earth science classfor change in the world. What makes this article or cause so interesting or important, that the world should change because of it? What would you like to see personally be done?

What made this interesting was that i was not even aware that it had happen until reading this article i also did not know that the government of this country controls info so we cant get constant info about what is happening i dont think this is significant enough for the world to change and i would personally like to see the country make a full recovery and for people to start getting better.

What does the US education department do - and can Trump truly dismantle it?

# data[].attributes.body
U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to try to take down the Department of Education. He accused the department of teaching young people racial, sexual, and political things. The Dept of Ed helps fund programs that support students with disabilities or in poverty and protects students of color from discrimination. Last year, a bill to get rid of the education department was rejected because 60 Republicans and all democrats in the House voted no. To actually shut down the department, Trump needs congressional approval and for 60 out of 100 senators to agree with him. He is still aiming to dismantle the department.

What does the US education department do - and can Trump truly dismantle it?

# data[].attributes.body
Donald Trump signed an executive order wanting to defund and dismantle the Department of Education. After this was announced, the department planned to take away half of its workers. Without these workers, student's will not be able to be educated in school. The department funds public schools and prepares financial aid for students who cannot afford schooling. They also run programs that are good for less fortunate students. Without the department of education, public schools will decline rapidly, students won't be able to afford college, and less fortunate students will have little to no opportunities.

Are Family Vloggers Really Leaving California to Avoid Paying Their Kids?

# data[].attributes.body
After a handful of California-based family influencers announced they were ditching  California for Tennessee, other folks on the internet shared a theory that what if the reason they were leaving was because of a new child-labor law that requires parents to put a percentage of their earnings into a trust. This hatred of these types of influencers is at a high right now because we’re fresh off the release of two huge documentaries about family vlogging gone wrong. Knowing that child influencers I grew up watching most likely were also exploited by their parents is interesting knowing that you watched them and never realized something was happening.

Utah Becomes First State to Ban Fluoride in Public Water

# data[].attributes.body
Medical experts warn the move could have consequences for oral health, especially among children.

Utah has become the first U.S. state to outlaw the addition of fluoride to public drinking water. The law, which was signed by Gov. Spencer Cox on March 27 and will go into effect on May 7. Anti-fluoridation bills have also been introduced in North Dakota, Tennessee and Montana. Researchers concluded that high levels of prenatal or childhood fluoride exposure were linked with lower I.Q. s in childhood.

This article can make a big difference in the world by preventing kids from having health problems and what I think should be done immediately is ban fluoride from the whole country, not just Utah.

New York county clerk blocks Texas abortion telehealth suit

New York county clerk blocks Texas abortion telehealth suit

# data[].attributes.body
A New York county court blocked the state of Texas from taking legal action against a doctor who allegedly prescribed and sent abortion pills to a woman in Texas.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton had sued the New York doctor in December, accusing her of violating his state's ban by providing abortion pills to a resident.

When the doctor and her attorneys failed to appear, Paxton sought a civil penalty exceeding $100,000 and filed the judgement in New York state.

"I have refused this filing and will refuse any similar filings that may come to our office," said acting Ulster County Clerk Taylor Bruck.

New York's shield law protects abortion providers in the state from certain legal actions if they provide treatment or medication to women in states with abortion restrictions or bans.

On Thursday, Bruck cited this law in issuing his decision.

When the US Supreme Court ended the constitutional right to abortion in 2022, it allowed each state to pass its own laws and regulations.

Texas prohibits nearly all abortions with limited exceptions, whereas New York allows the procedure up until 24 weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions if a patient's health or pregnancy is at risk.

The patchwork of access led some women in states with abortion bans or restrictions to turn to telemedicine to obtain medication used to end pregnancies from doctors in states where the pills are permitted.

The most commonly used form is a two-pill regimen of mifepristone and misoprostol. They can be used to end a pregnancy up to 12 weeks.

The doctor in this case, Margaret Daley Carpenter of New Paltz, New York, works with telemedicine organisations that provide abortion medications.

She is co-founder of the Abortion Coalition for Telemedicine. The state of Louisiana brought criminal charges against Ms Carpenter for allegedly providing abortion pills to a resident there despite its restrictions.

Paxton sued Dr Carpenter for allegedly providing a 20-year-old woman in Texas the two medications that "resulted in a medication abortion."

The suit alleged that Dr Carpenter violated the state law by providing abortion pills to a Texas resident, and without having a license to practice medicine in the state.

It sought to prevent Dr Carpenter from providing abortion medication to Texas residents, and to impose civil penalties of no less than $100,000 for each alleged violation of Texas' abortion law.

"In this case, an out-of-state doctor violated the law and caused serious harm to this patient. This doctor prescribed abortion-inducing drugs - unauthorized, over telemedicine - causing her patient to end up in the hospital with serious complications," Paxton said in a statement announcing his lawsuit.

Paxton's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the New York clerk's decision.

"Since this decision is likely to result in further litigation, I must refrain from discussing specific details about the situation," Mr Bruck said.

The case signalled a new frontier in legal battles over abortion in the US, as states like Texas seek to limit their residents' ability to get abortion pills from out-of-state providers.

States often cooperate on law enforcement matters, including criminal investigations and extraditions.

But after the US Supreme Court struck down Roe v Wade, eight Democratic-led states, including New York passed shield laws to protect abortion providers using telehealth to see patients in states with abortion restrictions or bans.

A total of 22 states and the District of Columbia have shield laws in place for their medical providers.

"I commend the Ulster County Clerk for doing what is right," New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement.

"New York's shield law was created to protect patients and providers from out-of-state anti-choice attacks, and we will not allow anyone to undermine health care providers' ability to deliver necessary care to their patients."

The importance of mental health awareness.

# data[].attributes.body
Mental illnesses affect 19% of the adult population, 46% of teenagers and 13% of children each year. People struggling with their mental health may be in your family, live next door, teach your children, work in the next cubicle or sit in the same church pew.

However, only half of those affected receive treatment, often because of the stigma attached to mental health. Untreated, mental illness can contribute to higher medical expenses, poorer performance at school and work, fewer employment opportunities and increased risk of suicide.

What Exactly is a Mental Illness

A mental illness is a physical illness of the brain that causes disturbances in thinking, behavior, energy or emotion that make it difficult to cope with the ordinary demands of life. Research is starting to uncover the complicated causes of these diseases which can include genetics, brain chemistry, brain structure, experiencing trauma and/or having another medical condition, like heart disease.
