The unusual midwinter election became necessary after Santos was ousted by his colleagues in December, partway through his first term. With no time for a primary before the special election, Democrats nominated Suozzi, a political centrist well known to voters in the district. Suozzi counterattacked Pilip on abortion, saying she couldn’t be trusted to protect abortion rights in places like New York where it remains legal.

Democrat Tom Suozzi wins New York race to succeed George Santos in Congress
Suozzi defeated Republican Mazi Pilip to take the seat that was left vacant when George Santos, also a Republican, was expelled from Congress. And it provides Democrats a much-needed win in New York City’s Long Island suburbs, where the GOP showed surprising strength in recent elections. With no time for a primary before the special election, Democrats nominated Suozzi, a political centrist well known to voters in the district. Pilip conceded the race and said she congratulated Suozzi in a phone call Tuesday night.

Ethiopian forces killed ‘at least 45 civilians’ in January massacre
Conservatives in the House of Representatives, which is narrowly controlled by Republicans, blame Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for a surge in illegal entries from Mexico that they have called a "humanitarian catastrophe." "Since this secretary refuses to do the job that the Senate confirmed him to do, the House must act." Impeachment is meant to be a sanction for treason, bribery and other "high crimes and misdemeanors," according to the constitution. House Democrats voted in unison against the impeachment, which was also vehemently opposed by the White House. Ehrenberg at the DHS accused Republicans of having "falsely smeared a dedicated public servant" without a "shred of evidence."

Ethiopian forces killed 'at least 45 civilians' in January massacre: state-affiliated rights body
February 14, 2024 12:05 am | Updated 12:05 am IST - Addis AbabaEthiopia's government security forces killed at least 45 civilians in a massacre in Amhara state in late January, the independent state-affiliated Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) said Tuesday. A statement said the EHRC had confirmed "the identity of at least 45 civilians who were extrajudicially killed by government security forces" in the town of Merawi for allegedly supporting an ethnic Amhara militia known as Fano. According to the EHRC, security forces also rounded up and arrested an unknown number of people in Merawi on suspicion of being members of Fano. But the U.S. last week said it was deeply concerned by reports of "targeted civilian killings" in Merawi. In September, the EHRC accused federal government forces of carrying out extra-judicial killings in Amhara, and mass arbitrary detentions in the region and elsewhere.
