    2026/09/30
    Meta has a vision for the future. It’s launched an AI agent that can act like your own personal assistant, called Muse.

Hochul said "new information has raised serious questions about how this case was handled, and I’ve lost faith in the Tompkins County D.A.’s ability to fairly oversee it."

    The story feels depressingly familiar to many women across the country. How are they living through this moment?
