RICHMOND, Va. — More than 300 employees from five state agencies have resigned since Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced Virginia’s new telework policy in early May, according to records obtained by 8News. This includes 183 Virginia Department of Transportation employees, 28 of whom cited “telework options” as the reason for leaving. Two VDOT workers who listed telework as the reason did move to another state agency, records obtained by 8News after filing a Freedom of Information Act request show. On May 5, Youngkin updated the state’s telework policy for all state employees to begin working in-person full-time by July 5, a

WASHINGTON — Liz Cheney, the Republican congresswoman from Wyoming who has attacked President Donald Trump relentlessly for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection, watched President Joe Biden's Medal of Freedom ceremony from the front row Thursday.(Snip) It's typically unheard of for a Republican lawmaker in the middle of a bruising primary fight to be seen at a high-profile White House event of a Democratic president. But Cheney, vice chair of the committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, is an exception. As she seeks a fourth-term to represent Wyoming's sole seat in Congress, Cheney is at odds

The World Health Organization on Thursday reported a 77% weekly increase in the number of lab-confirmed monkeypox cases, to more than 6,000 worldwide, and two more deaths in parts of Africa where the virus has circulated for years. Most of the cases were reported in Europe and Africa. The U.N. health agency said the mysterious outbreak continues to mainly affect men who have had sex with men, and that other population groups showed no signs of sustained transmission. WHO said it counted 6,027 laboratory-confirmed cases of monkeypox from 59 countries as of Monday — an increase of 2,614 cases since its
An aide for California Gov. Gavin Newsom, D., publicly criticized an employee of the nonprofit CalMatters after the newsletter writer revealed he was vacationing in Montana despite California’s ban of state-funded travel there. "SCOOP: @GavinNewsom is on vacation in Montana. His office had been loath to disclose the location until now. Montana is one of 22 states to which CA bans state-funded travel due to anti-LGBTQ+ policies. It's also likely to institute an abortion ban. More in tmrw's newsletter," Emily Hoeven wrote. Soon after, Anthony York, a senior communications advisor to Newsom and former journalist, accused Hoeven of "gotcha journalism''
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz weighing in Wednesday on Minneapolis' Fourth of July night of chaos. “The behavior's unacceptable,” said Walz at a press conference. “It is against the law, it's dangerous and as we've seen across the country, we cannot allow these to continue.” Walz says Minneapolis has not requested the Minnesota National Guard to help with policing as has been called for by at least one city councilmember. Walz adds that street racing, carjackings, and crime numbers overall are down since Minneapolis partnered with the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and Minnesota State Patrol for help. “We need to
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is spending time with family in Montana — a state on California's list of banned places to travel to using state funds. The Office of the Governor clarified that Newsom did not use state funds for the trip. Montana, along with 22 other states, is banned from travel using state funds because of Montana's anti-LGBT policies. "The travel ban applies to expending state funds," Erin Mellon, communications director for Newsom, told Insider. "The Governor's travel is not being paid for by the state. Connecting the two is irresponsible and falsely implies there is something untoward." Newsom departed
The White House is pushing back against her coach's claim that WNBA player Brittney Griner would be released now from her detainment in Russia if she were a straight man. Asked whether Griner—who is Black, gay and female—is facing a double standard, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre suggested Tuesday that such arguments go against President Joe Biden's many efforts on behalf of minority communities. "This is a president who has put all of the things that you just laid out—the LGBTQ community, women, people of color—he has fought for those communities throughout his career, and
President Biden is finding himself largely powerless to address a spate of setbacks in recent weeks that have sparked alarm among Democrats about the state of the country. Biden has been dealt blow after blow in recent weeks: The Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right to an abortion; the country is plagued by gun violence, the latest example falling during an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago; and rising costs for gasoline, food and other goods have frustrated the public for months. In each case, Biden’s hands are largely tied, frustrating Democrats and contributing to

PORTLAND, Ore. — Dozens of demonstrators gathered in downtown Portland on the night of the 4th of July, smashing windows, shooting off mortars into the federal building and burning an American flag in a protest over the death of Jayland Walker in Ohio. This gathering in Lownsdale Square on the 4th of July coincided with large crowds in downtown Portland for both the Waterfront Blues Fest and the fireworks over the Willamette River. It was labeled a “direct action” march, the same term used in previous demonstrations that turned destructive. Walker, 25, was shot to death June 27 by Akron
Monday’s question of the day seemed to be, “Where is everybody?” That was the common phrase among the few protesters found in front of the Harold K. Stubbs Justice Center in downtown Akron. The recent killing of Jayland Walker, who was shot 60 times by Akron police on Monday, June 27, has sparked days of mostly peaceful but sometimes violent protesting throughout the city. (Snip) That afternoon it seemed like "everybody" was outside of Mayor Dan Horrigan's home. At least 100 armed and unarmed people were at the protest, and at least two of them were arrested. Protest organizers were

On Wednesday evening, leftist protestors harrassed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at a Morton’s Steakhouse in Washington, D.C., forcing him to leave the restaurant, according to a report from Politico. “Honorable Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh and all of our other patrons at the restaurant were unduly harassed by unruly protestors while eating dinner at our Morton’s restaurant,” the representative of the chain restaurant said in a statement. “Politics, regardless of your side or views, should not trample the freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat dinner. There is a time and place for everything. Disturbing the dinner of all of our customers was an act of selfishness
President Joe Biden’s scandal-ridden son, Hunter Biden, received a front-row seat at the White House Medal of Freedom ceremony held on Thursday.
Hunter Biden, who attended the ceremony with his wife Melissa Cohen, became a de facto greeter for the attendees due to his front-row seat. The president’s son was seen shaking hands and hugging multiple ceremony attendees as they entered the White House’s East Room and took their seats.(Tweet/Video) President Biden awarded the Medal of Freedom to several of his political allies.
As Breitbart News reported:
He awarded a medal to Sister Simone Campbell, a prominent activist who helped Biden promote Obamacare, Khizr Khan,
CNN host W. Kamau Bell wore a t-shirt that read “I WILL AID AND ABET ABORTION” before President Joe Biden‘s speech and executive order on abortion.
Bell wore the shirt of Friday’s episode of CNN’s At This Hour, which he appeared on to promote the new season of his CNN show, United Shades of America.
The segment was scheduled just ahead of Biden’s remarks, so there was a chance it would get cut off to show the speech.

Hunter Biden blamed First Lady Jill Biden for forcing him to go back to rehab – calling her a 'selfish silly entitled c***', 'a moron', 'stupid', and 'vain' – after she offered him a house and sent him loving messages.
The biting insults were made behind his stepmother's back in text messages on a newly uncovered backup of Hunter's cell phone stored on his abandoned laptop.
The vicious verbal attack, appears to be over Hunter's family asking him to go back to rehab in winter of 2018.

An Army training slide obtained by Breitbart News instructs soldiers to shower with transgender members of the opposite sex even if they have not undergone a surgical transition.
The training slide offers a “vignette” instructing soldiers on what to do if they encounter a female soldier who identifies as male according to the Department of Defense’s personnel tracking system known as Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS), but has not surgically transitioned and still has “female genitalia.”
The slide, titled “Soldier/Unit Training Barracks, Bathrooms, and Showers,” reads:
The Biden administration has signaled its intention to punish Texas border agents who were falsely accused of “whipping” Haitian migrants last year.
The Daily Caller reported Friday that U.S. Customs and Border Protection has proposed charging the agents with “poor judgement” and “unsafe conduct” in connection with the viral incident, though those suggestions have not yet been finalized.
The Post previously reported that the September 2021 encounter near Del Rio, which made international headlines and sparked a political firestorm, was the subject of an administrative investigation by CBP’s Office of Personal Responsibility.

Billionaire Elon Musk called off his deal to buy social media company Twitter, according to a filing on Friday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Skadden Arps attorney Mike Ringler said in a letter to Twitter's chief legal officer that “Twitter has not complied with its contractual obligations." For nearly two months, the company has failed to provide Musk with information about fake or spam accounts, the letter said.
A left-wing activist group is encouraging users on social media to tweet the location of any of the conservative Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts in exchange for money.
The six conservative justices were the majority who voted to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision last month. June. Since then, pro-abortion activists have repeatedly protested outside the justices' homes and, in some cases, confronted them in public.
ShutDownDC is promising a bounty of $50 for anyone who shares a 'confirmed sighting' and a further $200 if they are still in that location half an hour later.
President Joe Biden’s administration sold 950,000 barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a Chinese state-owned gas company that has financial ties to a private equity firm cofounded by Hunter Biden, according to a Washington Free Beacon report.
In April, Biden’s Department of Energy announced the nearly one million barrel sale to Unipec, which is the trading arm of Sinopec. Sinopec is wholly owned and operated by the Chinese Communist Party.
Unipec reportedly purchases oil across the globe and then apparently sells it through its Sinopec Marketing subsidiary. According to Unipec’s LinkedIn page:
There is growing concern that we may never learn the identity of the person who for the first time in history leaked a draft of a pending decision. It’s been nine and a half weeks since the draft opinion on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health was published by Politico on May 2. Although this is the biggest breach in Supreme Court security in history, we have had no indication that the culprit has been identified. This is strange, given the very small pool – fewer than 100 clerks, justices and support staff
