    Trump's impeachment defense lawyer essentially warned that the people who threatened political violence, and then committed political violence, might commit more political violence if displeased about the trial's outcome. My new Insider op-column:

    Stripping Cuomo of near-dictatorial powers is way overdue, but better late than never.

    Read every word of this insane story. The Biden administration's got some 'splaining to do.

    scoop by me: WH comms aide TJ Ducklo threatened to "destroy" Politico's Tara Palmeri for reporting on his relationship with an Axios reporter and accused her of just being "jealous" of his girlfriend. Jen Psaki and Kate Bedingfield then defended him

    Cuomo's top aide apologized to Democratic lawmakers — and no one else — for lying about NY's COVID nursing home disaster. He's coasted on the 'hero' myth for long enough. It's well past time for a fed investigation and to strip Cuomo of emergency powers.

    1) Right-wingers making a living off cancel culture are realizing that it is hard to cover the beat consistently. Why? Because their own side practices it too.

    "If that means lying to get the funds you need to do it." That...isn't what happened. Cuomo lied to shirk responsibility for a deadly mistake. If he had just apologized instead of painting calls for transparency as a political smear job, we wouldn't be talking about this today.

    He’s right ! When you have a extremely dangerous moron leading the nation, your first job is to protect the citizens of your state. If that means lying to get the funds you need to do it. We are all acting as if our commander in chief was normal. He had politicized the 🦠 day1.

    Cuomo didn’t want Trump to use the deaths as a political football, because Cuomo wanted to use his success as a political football.

    Cuomo was afraid of Trump using COVID nursing home deaths as a "political football." So Cuomo, lied, stonewalled, and baselessly accused anyone who asked for transparency of being a Republican hack. That's cowardly, thuggish, anything but "leadership."

    The Cuomo administration lied and stonewalled about COVID nursing home deaths, but at least they apologized to...*checks notes*...Democrats in a private phone call. All Cuomo had to do was publicly admit he made a mistake. He still won't do it.

    "Governor Cuomo’s top aide privately apologized to Democratic lawmakers for withholding the state’s nursing-home death toll from COVID-19 — telling them 'we froze' out of fear the true numbers would 'be used against us' by federal prosecutors"

    Do it, honest Republicans. Just bail on the rotting husk of Trump's cult of personality GOP and start over. The country will be better off for it.
