@NYGovCuomo Cuomo on the AG report: “Where this starts is, frankly, a political attack from the prior administration HHS. Their great spokesperson, @MarcACaputo, who is a Roger Stone protege, who said we have more nursing home deaths in New York b/c of something the state health dept did."

In light of the NY AG confirming @NYGovCuomo has been lying about the death toll resulting from his ordering Covid patients into nursing homes, let’s revisit how he’s handled questions into this issue …
@NYGovCuomo In October, Cuomo said these deaths weren’t his fault, instead blaming the nursing homes' staff for “bringing” Covid into their facilities
"We’ve done a full study of it, the virus came into nursing homes from the staff.”
@NYGovCuomo Cuomo then pivoted to blaming the Trump Administration, claiming “federal guidelines:” resulted in Covid patients being moved into New York nursing homes
Thread: There are now a ton of treatments for Covid w/ incredibly impressive results. Meaning, there’s a non-lockdown focused approach available to returning to normal; one that’s faster, cheaper, and more effective. To wit ...

CNN’s @wolfblitzer: "It’s going to be a little, pathetic, tiny crowd at Joint Base Andrews where he’ll say good-bye."
@wolfblitzer .@DanaBashCNN on Trump boarding Marine One: "He looks small. He just looks like a small man. And that is exactly the way that he has handled his presidency since he lost. And he just has appeared smaller and smaller and less and less courageous."
Can anyone explain — maybe @jaketapper or @NicolleDWallace — why Republicans who voted against certifying the Electoral College votes are being called “seditionits,” “treasonists,” etc. — while these terms were never used when Dems did the same thing in 2001, 2005, 2017?

.@AOC, on Instagram, reflects on the Capitol Hill riot: “I thought I was going to die. And you have all of those thoughts where, at the end of your life, all of these thoughts come rushing to you … I did not know if I was going to make out of that day alive.”
@AOC AOC gets emotional: “White supremacists [were] ordered by President Trump to attack the Capitol”
“There were acts of betrayal [b the police]. And, to run in the Capitol and not know if an officer is there to help you or harm you, is also quite traumatizing"
@AOC AOC suggests there’s a “conflict of interest” in Sen. McConnell being married to the former secretary of Transportation, Elaine Chao.
