Read previewScrolling through the profiles on OkCupid, Anna Akbari was drawn to a man who seemed handsome, witty, and highly intelligent. He was a catfisher — a person who fakes their online identity to trick victims into thinking they are someone else. He'd sent her a forged driving license, power points from his supposed job, and even copies of papers he claimed to have written at MIT. "We didn't know who this person was or why they were doing it," Akbari told BI. "Emily was Ethan, and Ethan was Emily," Akbari wrote in the book.

The House Ethics Committee could investigate George Santos over his alleged malfeasance. But ethics experts warn that the evenly-divided committee — composed of five Republicans and five Democrats — is unlikely to move swiftly or even take significant action on Santos. That's where the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) — a separate investigative entity run by a non-partisan staff — could step in. And the Department of Justice could simply ask both the Ethics Committee and OCE to stand down, as they've already reportedly done with the Federal Election Commission. The office frequently makes preliminary investigations of complaints against members of Congress, making a referral to the House Ethics Committee if they determine the offense to warrant further inquiry.

Că Federația Rusă consideră că victoria asupra Germaniei a repurtat-o exclusiv URSS și 9 mai este doar pentru ei. R. Moldova a declarat oficial că dorește integrarea în UE. Deci, la 9 mai, R. Moldova trebuie oficial să sărbătorească Ziua Europei. În rest, „socialiștii” și alți nostalgici ca ei să sărbătorească ce cred ei necesar în această zi, dar cu respectarea legii. Pe 8 mai sărbătorim, de rând cu toată Europa, sfârșitul războiului, iar pe 9 mai – Ziua Europei.
