A patient in British Columbia, Canada, has filed a complaint against a nurse they accused of offering to have sex with them. The complaint has prompted an investigation into the medical worker by the nursing regulator as well as practice restrictions being placed upon her.

The patient had arrived at the house belonging to nurse practitioner Lori Chern to have his blood pressure taken. However, the patient alleged that, during their visit, Chern caressed his arm and made "remarks that appeared flirty" before taking his blood pressure, The Sun reports.

The alleged incident took place while Chern was conducting the assessment in August. In the complaint, the individual said that the nurse had sat "right next to him" and that after she had taken the reading, "[Chern] complimented the complainant on their physique as well as heart rate and blood pressure, saying they seemed to have the health of an 18-year-old and making other gestures."

The nurse also allegedly brought up the subject of sex, telling him that "sex was very important for a man to regulate himself and be in good health." The complainant claimed that she then offered him sex and when he declined, she allegedly told him that he could contact her outside of work for sex if he changed his mind.

The Republican-led House on Tuesday narrowly rejected a push to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over how he has carried out the war in Iran and other military hostilities in Yemen, Venezuela and the Caribbean.

The vote was 211-204 to send the impeachment resolution to committee, effectively killing the effort. Even vocal GOP critics of Hegseth said they didn’t think that the secretary’s action rose to the level of “high crimes and misdemeanors.”

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., who is on track to be elected speaker in January, has said Democrats will “run Pete Hegseth out of town” when they take over Congress next year.

But Hegseth is safe for now, and Trump said he is standing by his Defense secretary, who has clashed with not only Democrats but a handful of Republicans in the Senate and the House.

Bernie Sanders said Tuesday he won't support New York Sen. Chuck Schumer as Democratic leader when the party takes control of the Senate, becoming the most prominent progressive to oppose his candidacy to date.

Sanders made the announcement at a press conference at the Capitol, saying last week's midterm elections were "about change." Democrats will control at least 54 seats when the 120th Congress convenes in January.

He added: "I personally have known Chuck Schumer for over 30 years, and I like Chuck. Nobody who works harder than Chuck Schumer. But in my view, the time is now for change, and I will not be supporting Chuck to be reelected as the Democratic leader."

Sanders, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats, called for "a vigorous debate about the direction of the Democratic Party."

"We need to have that out in the open to show the American people that a new day has come and that their votes meant a new direction in Washington," he said.

With just 20 scheduled legislative days remaining in the House and 22 in the Senate before the new Congress takes office on January 3, 2027, the House Freedom Caucus has delivered an explosive, last-minute America First agenda to House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune.

On Monday, members of the House Freedom Caucus released an ambitious legislative roadmap demanding that Republicans use their final weeks in power to deliver on President Donald Trump’s priorities before Democrats take control on January 3, 2027.

The agenda includes mandatory voter identification in federal elections, sweeping border security legislation, a crackdown on sanctuary cities, congressional term limits, a ban on government officials trading stocks, major energy reforms, and at least $1 trillion in federal spending reductions.

The conservative lawmakers are also demanding that the Senate confirm as many Trump nominees as possible before Republicans surrender their majority.

Let’s hold the line and finish the work. In no particular order, we should take action to:

1. Pass a reconciliation package to deal with debt, spending, and tax relief:

Fund Defense Modernization (missiles, boats, drones, space, etc.) to stop Democrats from using it to leverage for expansion of the welfare state;

Provide significant tax relief for families – particularly for healthcare: Expansion of HSA’s in terms of both savings amount and use to drive down the price of healthcare for families, and codification of Short-Term Limited Duration Plans;

Provide at least $1 trillion in spending reductions that will more than pay for all these items and result in deficit reduction.

2. Codify the President’s border security policies and ban sanctuary cities – we passed H.R. 9773 and H.R. 7640 out of Judiciary, and they are ready for action on the House floor.

3. Limit annual spending to current levels (for 3rd consecutive year) via a CR or Appropriations without policy riders that divide us or constrain the Administration’s ability to eliminate wasteful, fraudulent, and abusive government spending. Oppose a year-end omnibus filled with poison pills.

4. Pass a robust permitting bill to expand American energy dominance and drive down the price of fuel and electricity for families.

5. Reform Congress by:

Passing a ban on stock trading for Congress as well as the Executive and Judicial Branches, including the President and his family;

Passing Term Limits – we should ignore any outside groups, and pass the number of terms we can all agree to.

6. Only reauthorize programs set to expire (e.g., Farm Bill, Surface Transportation) if they are fiscally responsible and reduce the prices of food and consumer goods, like vehicles, while protecting the privacy rights of Americans by ending surveillance technology mandates or funding. These bills should not include any policy riders that undo or delay deficit reduction provisions secured during this Congress.

7. Pass legislation requiring voter ID in federal elections.

8. Confirm as many Presidential nominees as possible in the Senate.
