The preventable tragedy at Gabriel House demonstrates the potential suffering posed to vulnerable populations, particularly the elderly, by the savage cuts to social programs in Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” relied upon by millions.

A Kansas sheriff's deputy was placed on leave and later resigned after he was accused of sexually exploiting a child in Fall River.
