“The searches took place over the weekend and are part of the investigation into sexual”
misconduct allegations and peers Ryan Lucas reports. Federal agents stop Swallwell at San Francisco Airport on Saturday with the search warrant and seized his electronic devices. A day later, agents searched the former Congressmen's home in Washington, D.C. That's according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke to NPR on condition
of anonymity to discuss and ongoing investigation. The probe is focused on the sexual misconduct allegations that multiple women have made against Swallwell allegations that he denies. After those allegations came to light in April, Swallwell resigned from Congress and dropped
out of the California governor's race.
His attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The former Congressmen is also facing investigations by state authorities in California and New York. Ryan Lucas and PR News, Washington.

drives up interest rates, right? Investors think, this is weird. And so then they ask the federal government to pay them more money in order to take on that debt. But then that means that the rest of us have to compete with Treasury to get people to
lend us money. And it was rates rose today, despite Treasury Secretary Scott Bessons moved to calm the bond market with his announcement this week that Treasury would double the size of a bond buyback program, where the 5,000 people have contracted a bowl on the Democratic Republic of Congo almost half of them died over the past three months as impairs Dury Biscarren
reports. And half of deaths are still happening outside of designated Ebola treatment centers, including in general hospitals where the virus can be passed to health workers and other patients. Mercy Kang, an epidemiologist for the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, says this suggests the outbreak is much larger than the official numbers.
“If you have to look at the real burden, we should be over 10,000 to 15,000 cases.”
But again, this estimates this are more or less models. Medical trials are ongoing for vaccines and treatments for this strain of Ebola. Officials plan to deploy 70,000 doses of a previous vaccine for another Ebola strain in the meantime. Dury Biscarren and Pernus Washington.

Social media addiction is not an official diagnosis recognized by the American Psychiatric Association,
but pediatrician Dr. Jason Nagata says it is relatively common, I would say, for us to have patients who are experiencing some of these symptoms of addiction. Nagata is at the University of California San Francisco. He says the symptoms of addiction include excessive use of social media, inability to cut back on social media, despite knowing that it's harmful, or having withdrawal symptoms
when not using. Recent studies that have followed thousands of children as they go through at lessons are also finding a significant number of pre-teens and teens reporting these symptoms of social media addiction.
