Oprah donates $2 million to Puerto Rico for disaster relief

Oprah Winfrey is donating $2 million to disaster relief efforts in Puerto Rico, with half the funds going to an organization created by "Hamilton" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda.

The donations were announced on Monday by the Hispanic Federation and the Flamboyan Arts Fund. Each organization will receive $1 million toward its revitalization efforts in Puerto Rico, which was devastated by back-to-back hurricanes in 2017.

Bipartisan senators ask FTC to disclose whether it is investigating Google

Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) in a letter on Monday urged the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to "take action" against Facebook and Google over possible antitrust and data privacy violations.

In a statement, Blackburn said she hoped the "bipartisan effort" would "shed light" on the country's largest tech companies.

"We understand that the FTC does not typically comment on nonpublic investigations, but the public discussion surrounding Google and other companies’ conduct have made this a uniquely important national issue," the senators, both prominent tech critics, wrote in the letter.

"Accordingly, we respectfully request that the FTC consider publicly disclosing whether it is conducting an investigation of Google and/or other major online platforms and describe, in general terms, the nature of the conduct under examination in any such investigations," they added.
