Lindsey Boylan, who served as Deputy Secretary for Economic Development and House for the state of New York and Special Adviser to the governor, published her account of Cuomo’s “inappropriate” behavior via a Medium blog post on Wednesday. “Today I am telling my story,” Boylan said in a tweet. “I never planned to share the details of my experience working in the Cuomo administration, but I am doing so now in hopes that it may make it easier for others to speak their own truth....

Graham agreed that he was frugal during a Monday night appearance on Fox News’ Hannity, with Gowdy, a former GOP congressman from South Carolina, filling in as host. Graham warned that if Democrats took control of the Senate by winning both of two upcoming Georgia runoff elections, it would be a “nightmare for conservatism” because, in part, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) would become chairman of the Senate Budget Committee instead of him....

A recent cyberattack forced the Colonial Pipeline to shutdown operations, resulting in widespread fuel shortages in several states. As of this weekend, the pipeline has resumed normal operations but Colonial reportedly paid millions of dollars in ransom to the cyber criminal group DarkSide. “Ineffective, weak,” Graham said Saturday evening during an interview with Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, sharing his reaction to Biden’s response to the crisis. “The one thing we haven’t seen from Joe Biden is a deterrent approach....

Graham reacted angrily to Democratic Congressman Jerry Nadler’s assertion, made during day 2 of the Senate impeachment trial, that “a lot of senators [are] voting for a cover-up, voting to deny witnesses.” Graham insisted he was exposing Democratic “hatred” of Trump rather than engaging in a cover-up by refusing to allow witnesses in the trial. “To my Democratic colleagues, you can say what you want about me, but I’m covering up nothing,” said Graham....

The GOP senator made the remarks as he spoke at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority Policy Conference held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

McConnell and Trump have made highly critical statements about each other in the wake of Trump’s impeachment acquittal. McConnell, formerly one of Trump’s strongest allies, said Saturday that Trump bore responsibility for the January riot at the U.S. Capitol building which left five people dead. In a Tuesday statement, Trump claimed that the GOP would never be “respected or strong” again while McConnell remained in leadership. During an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Graham said he would tell McConnell was important to the future of the GOP....

Les Bleus 11/2 to win World Cup The former England striker will host the draw for the group stage of the tournament in Russia, where the Three Lions could be paired with one of Germany, France, Brazil, Portugal, Belgium and Argentina.

Messi has captured nearly every conceivable trophy and accolade imaginable at the club level. However, as is also the case with his great rival Cristiano Ronaldo, the honors and distinctions slow down at the international level. Russia 2018 will likely be the last time Messi will don an Argentinian shirt in his prime, meaning this will be the last real chance the Barcelona star has to lead his country to the golden trophy....

In the past few weeks, however, he hasn’t had much spare time because he’s been organizing a series of street protests against Iran’s hard-line clerical government. Ali meets daily with fellow student activists, some of whom have spent time in jail, to plan future rallies. “It’s time for complete democracy in Iran,” Ali says, throwing his hands up in frustration. “Religion needs to be removed from the government.” Many Iranians feel the same way–and in recent months they’ve openly challenged the legitimacy of the conservative clerics who’ve run the country since Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi was deposed in 1979....

In Hollywood parlance, Kerry is “opening wide”–and none too soon in the eyes of many Democrats. Ever since he effectively wrapped up the nomination last March, he and his advisers have been content–too content, some Democrats fret–to operate in the shadow of the president. Like a racing cyclist conserving energy, Kerry has been drafting behind the president, who in turn has been struggling to climb a long hill made ever steeper by Iraq....

Blood in the urine may also occur. Surgical removal of the stone relieves symptoms and/or restores the normal flow of urine. What Is Kidney Stone Surgery? Kidney stone surgery involves a surgeon either physically removing a kidney stone whole or in pieces, or essentially blasting it apart so that it can be passed by the body....

In an Independence Day tweet by the 43-year-old rapper, Kanye wrote about his intent. “We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States,” he wrote, accompanied by the hashtag “#2020VISION.” Despite West’s announcement shaking up Twitter over the weekend, the response from his famous in-laws has been mostly radio silence, save for a retweet from his wife Kim Kardashian West that just had an American Flag emoji....

The second session of the 14th Supreme People’s Assembly (SPA) was held Thursday in Pyongyang, where the president of the legislative body’s presidium Choe Ryong Hae announced amendments designed “to provide a firm legal guarantee for stepping up the building of a powerful socialist nation more dynamically under the monolithic guidance of Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un,” according to the official Korean Central News Agency. As the first order of business, he discussed a change of duties in the young ruler’s official title, chairman of the State Affairs Commission (SAC)....

That’s led her fans and followers to beg for Kardashian West to disclose who exactly got her vote. There are reasons to think she’d choose West, President Donald Trump or former Vice President Joe Biden on her ballot. The KKW Beauty owner hasn’t said much about West’s presidential campaign. She acknowledged West’s decision to run for Commander and Chief on July 4, the day that West announced his campaign. Kardashian West simply retweeted West’s proclamation with an American Flag emoji....
