Top Andrew Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa resigned last night, but for many of Cuomo’s biggest critics, that’s too little too late. "She was his top enabler," says Assembly member @rontkim. "For that, she needs to pay a deeper price, and I'm sure she will in the next few months."

Where did the hyper-partisanship over masks and vaccines and science come from?
“I think Covid has put a mirror in front of America,” says Republican @RonNehring. “And what we see in that mirror is a polarized society that predates Covid-19.”

"Covid isn't a threat to kids," you hear. Mehdi asks NOLA pediatrician Mark Kline if it's true.
"That was a myth from the beginning, but it's particularly not true now," he says. "We are seeing many ill children...we have 18 children in the hospital today."

.@mehdirhasan surprised his parents with a visit to England last week after nearly 2 years apart. The sneaky surprise didn’t *quite* go how he’d planned when they didn’t even recognize him in his disguise!

The assault on the 2024 election is a crock-pot coup, @AnandWrites explains. “It’s simmering low and slow, undercover, breaking down the fibers of our electoral system, until one day democracy itself is cooked.” WATCH:

Six moderate Dems have written to Speaker Pelosi requesting an immediate vote on the $1T infrastructure deal. So is that the way to go? “They are wrong,” @JamaalBowmanNY tells @AnandWrites “We work for the American people,” he says. “Now is the time to go as big as possible.”

What is Ret. Lt. Col. @AVindman’s message to state and federal level GOP officials who are pushing an anti-democracy agenda? “We see you, we recognize the threat you pose...This is my call to arms. Here, right matters only if we make it matter,” Vindman tells @AnandWrites.

Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán has taken control of the national media, discriminated against minorities and expanded cronyism.
And he’s won a big, big fan in Fox’s Tucker Carlson.
It’s almost as if the U.S. right wing is looking for ways to dismantle democracy:

Many in the GOP are acting like the ransacking of their workplace never happened.
@ChrisMurphyCT tells @mehdirhasan “they don’t want to get to the bottom of this because they know it’ll be their inflammatory rhetoric leading up to Jan. 6 that will of course be part of the story.”

Today NYC became the first U.S. city to require Covid vaccinations for indoor dining and gyms.
@mehdirhasan urges the rest of the country to do the same, because “the number one job of the government is to protect the public, and that includes public health.”

Apparently Gov. Cuomo thinks that because he's publicly kissed other people, the claims of improper kisses (and other alleged sexual harassment) by 11 women must be false.
@yuhline says he’s “gaslighting New Yorkers now the same way that he gaslit the women he abused.”
