Shawn Oliver, the running mate of Massachusetts Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Minogue, suspended his campaign Sunday after he was arrested following a car crash. He is now facing one count of operating under the influence (OUI), among other charges. "After careful reflection, I have made the decision to suspend my campaign for Lieutenant Governor," Oliver said in a statement posted to social media Sunday. "This election is too important to be overshadowed by personal matters. I want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported me throughout this journey and ask that my family's privacy be respected during this difficult time." New Bedford police told The Boston Globe that Oliver flipped his car after he struck five parked vehicles " two of which sustained "extensive damage" " late Saturday night.
Extremism reporter Will Sommer of The Bulwark believes Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's efforts to build a luxury resort in Albania are likely dead.

Meanwhile, the parliament and the education department have been vandalized, and the prime minister is in hiding. The plan was for Trump and Kushner to spend $1.4 billion to $4 billion to build a luxury resort on Sazan Island and parts of the nearby Zvrnec peninsula along Albania's southern coast.
