NY Governor Cuomo has allegedly stopped coming to work since Wednesday – and now we know what he is doing while his impeachment proceedings loom.

Photos on social media show Cuomo hiding in a mansion, calmly looking through some documents – probably the only way for the governor to relax while accused of 11 cases of sexual harassment.
👏 Here comes another pearl from the Democrats – this time the source is VP Kamala Harris’ office.

It has issued a statement about the vice-president’s forthcoming visit to Vietnam and Singapore, and it is truly brilliant: "America is back".

“Her trip will build on the Biden-Harris administration's message to the world: America is back,” the statement reads.

Perhaps – just a suggestion – "America is back" is not what Vietnam really wants to hear.
The pro-Trump group Look Ahead America said on Friday that it will return to the US Capitol on September 18 to hold a protest.

"Look Ahead America is eager to announce that our next rally will take place at the US Capitol on Saturday, September 18, at noon," the group said in a statement.
🌹🙅‍♂️ Relatives of the 9/11 victims – more than 1,800 people – have asked Joe Biden to skip all memorial services related to the tragedy's 20th anniversary this year.

They reportedly argue that the president shouldn’t visit places that are important to the families of the victims unless he fulfils his promise about reviewing the secrecy seal on some of the documents related to the 9/11 probes.

“We are frustrated, tired and saddened with the fact that the US government for 20 years has chosen to keep information about the death of our loved ones behind lock and key”, Brett Eagleson, son of 9/11 victim Bruce Eagelson, told NBC.

In October 2020, Biden, then a presidential candidate, pledged to “hear all of [the] voices” of the 9/11 victims’ families seeking “truth and accountability”.

Where does he stand regarding his promises now?

🍑 Don’t sneeze.

A judicial watchdog has filed a lawsuit against the US State Department demanding the release of information on whether American diplomats were forced by China to take “anal swabs” coronavirus tests, something that Washington has previously denied.

China has been taking anal swabs since January, claiming it is a more accurate than an oral test in determining infection.
📝 Bob Gibbs sent a letter to his Republican colleagues urging them to impeach Biden as he "continues to disregard his constitutional duties and boundaries".

🗣 “You know, we have roughly 350 million people vaccinated in the United States and billions around the world. And virtually no one has died because of that vaccinations [sic],” Biden said at the White House.

😒 Wait, how many? The country's total population is almost 330 mln, where did he get 20 mln more?

Maybe he decided to count undocumented immigrants as well? And another question is: how did 350 mln people manage to get vaccinated in such a short period of time?

😡 Subway franchisees are pressuring the fast-food giant to ditch soccer star Megan Rapinoe, who made a deal with Subway to shoot advertisement videos.

Rapinoe – a player who kneeled at the Tokyo Olympics just before kick-off – has been a long-time advocate of equal rights. Meanwhile, in the new commercial, she kicks a guy with a ball, knocking a burrito right out of his hands.

"The ad should be pulled and done with", one franchisee wrote of the Rapinoe ad. "It gets tiring apologising".

The ad is not the only reason franchisees are dissatisfied with the soccer player. Another, from Arizona, has blasted Subway for “spending our money to make a political statement” – talking, of course, about Rapinoe taking a knee during major sporting events.
