FBI agents raided a building on Dorrance Street in downtown Providence on Thursday morning. "There is court authorized activity at that location," said Jim Martin, a spokesman for U.S. Attorney Zachary A. Cunha's office. He declined to elaborate. The 127 Dorrance St. building houses the offices of Joseph Molina Flynn, an immigration lawyer in Massachusetts and Rhode Island who serves as a municipal court judge in Central Falls. Molina Flynn's office is the focus of the search, according to multiple sources. Molina Flynn was the first openly gay person and the first formerly undocumented person to serve on the bench...

The “election integrity lawyer” for the Republican Party in Arizona, Kory Langhofer, has resigned. This means that 3 days before mail in ballots are dropping in Arizona, the AZGOP and TeamTrump don’t have a lawyer to fight election fraud in Arizona.. Kory resigned TODAY and his resignation will go into effect on Wednesday, October 9, 2024 (the same day that early voting begins in Arizona). He resigned because he was unwilling to file a lawsuit over the 218,000 unconfirmed US citizen (illegal aliens) voters that Adrian Fontes , the anti-Trump Democrat Secretary of State in Arizona, has refused to remove...

The question of whether Joe Biden could hold out against political pressure from the media, donors, Obama and influential figures across the party has been answered. He couldn’t. The donor coup succeeded. Democracy is dead, long live democracy. His campaign people had kept insisting that he was running until the last minute when his account tweeted a statement that he was abandoning his campaign. The whole seemed reminiscent of the palace coup against Japan’s Emperor Hirohito after the bomb dropped. Clearly there were multiple factions at work, but the power players, led by the party’s donors, won out and Biden,...

For now, I’m taking at face value that Biden has withdrawn from the presidential campaign via a tweeted-out letter, with the promise of a live statement to follow. However, a surprising number of people believe that, considering how consequential Biden’s statement is, a tweeted-out letter suggests a coup rather than a voluntary resignation.

From tomorrow, I will be a resigning Prime Minister,” told supporters at a rally, according to Politico. De Croo will stay on as caretaker prime minister until a new government is in place. “I am convinced...

Two days after being sworn into the Thurston County Sheriff's Office (TCSO), Christopher Burbank resigned from the position. The TCSO on Wednesday said the former Tacoma Police Department officer came to the decision "based on community response and death threats made" to his family. Burbank was one of three Tacoma police officers cleared of criminal charges in the 2020 death of Manuel "Manny" Ellis, a Black man who was shocked, beaten and restrained facedown on a sidewalk as he pleaded for breath.

The past 50 years have not been good for presidential impeachment. In 1974, the Constitution worked as it should have when President Richard Nixon resigned on the brink of certain impeachment in the US House of Representatives and conviction in the Senate. With substantial proof of Nixon’s misconduct assembled by the House, Senate and special prosecutor, the public overwhelmingly agreed with removing Nixon from office. In contrast, Republicans last Wednesday voted to authorize an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden based on unspecified, undemonstrated misconduct. There is no evidence, much less any established public consensus, that impeachment is warranted or...

Oklahoma Sooners assistant football coach Cale Gundy has resigned from his position after he used a “shameful” word during a team meeting. SNIP “I owe it to Sooner Nation to be transparent about what led to this decision: Last week, during a film session, I instructed my players to take notes,” the statement read. “I noticed a player was distracted and picked up his iPad and read aloud the words that were written on his screen. The words displayed had nothing to do with football. One particular word that I should never — under any circumstance — have uttered was...

Former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos says that the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was the final straw for her in standing by former President Trump, confirming that she was open to using the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. DeVos, who writes in a new book about turning in her resignation letter to Trump the day after the Capitol insurrection, blames the former president’s refusal to accept the results of the 2020 presidential election for blocking her efforts to pass her last piece of school choice agenda legislation through Congress.

Deborah Birx, a leading member of the Trump administration’s White House coronavirus task force, said on Sunday the U.S. should be prepared for another potential COVID-19 surge after a recent uptick in infections in South Africa. “Each of these surges are about four to six months apart. That tells me that natural immunity wanes enough in the general population after four to six months that a significant surge is going to occur again. And this is what we have to be prepared for in this country,” she added. Birx specifically warned Americans should be “preparing right now for a potential...

Former White House coronavirus response task force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx said on MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports” that during the early days of the COVID pandemic, with the approval of then-Vice President Mike Pence, she went to local media all across America to say the exact opposite of the information citizens were getting from then-President Donald Trump. Tur said, “What about when it became clear to you that he was dangerous, that he was saying to people inject bleach into your arms to clear out the virus. He said he was joking, but that’s not the way the American public...

Former Trump-era COVID-19 response coordinator Deborah Birx said in an interview Monday on “Good Morning America” that she demanded that the White House retract then-President Trump’s comment on potentially using disinfectant against COVID-19. Trump’s comment, made during a briefing on April 23, 2020, during the early days of the pandemic, implied that injected disinfectant could help fight the coronavirus.

In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), plans to announce his resignation on Tuesday at the age of 71, according to Politico.

Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), announced his resignation on Tuesday, just weeks after documents exposed that he made “untruthful” comments about U.S. federal funding of gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. “It has been an incredible privilege to lead this great agency for more than a decade,” Collins said in a statement posted at the NIH website. I love this agency and its people so deeply that the decision to step down was a difficult one, done in close counsel with my wife, Diane Baker, and my family. I am proud of all...

NBC News anchor Chuck Todd said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) resigned so he could run for office or work within the Democratic Party in the future.

I think Cuomo believes he can go and live another day.”
