This is so disappointing. I have so much to say beyond the confines of 280 characters or less. Start with Cuomo should use his remaining days to lead a conversation on power dynamics and appropriate workplace behavior. He knows better.

Cuomo has done good work on campus sexual assault - and taken much credit for it. But he knows it is an important issue.

What now also needs a national discussion is why repeatedly we are hearing about predatory behavior by men in power against young women and men.

2/
It is also sickening when politicians and others appropriate stories of victims for their own political vengeance. So transparent on those who could care less about the well being of the victims, or bringing about change.

The narrative should not be the lesser of 2 evils!

3/
And finally in the spirit of full disclosure, I know Charlotte. She is a member of my organization's Young Women Leadership Council. She has done tremendous work on the issue of campus sexual assault education and awareness through our foundation and beyond.

4/4
And finally to be clear: I am not at this moment calling for him to resign. I am calling on Cuomo to address the issue publicly - it could be an educational moment that is surely needed!

Oy, Trump's impeachment lawyer. They're not sending their best.
I will admit I had low expectations for Trump's legal team. Yet they are coming in below that.
I can't remember her name or what she said 🙄

The Chiefs should just say they won anyway. Maybe Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley can help.
Frankly, we did win this game. So our goal now is to ensure the integrity for the good of this nation. This is a very big moment. This is a major fraud in our nation. So we’ll be going to Canton. We were up 3-0, and they just kept playing, and we wanted it to stop.
We don’t want them to keep scoring in the fourth quarter and add the points to the scoreboard. Okay? It’s a very sad moment. To me this is a very sad moment and we will win this. And as far as I’m concerned, we already have won it.

OMG! This is insanity. Please swear them in at an undisclosed location.
Honestly @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris @RonaldKlain - safety first! We don't need the pomp and circumstance. Just keep Joe and Kamala safe until they can bring in competent people and fix this security mess. Please use an indoor, undisclosed location!
And @SpeakerPelosi please do not attend the inauguration. Just to play it extra safe. You three should not all be together.

A tearful Pelosi announces an investigation, says:
"If in fact it is found that members of Congress were accomplices to this insurrection, if they aided and abetted the crime, there may have to be actions taken beyond the Congress in terms of prosecution for that."

MAGAT savages!
“"We weren’t battling 50 or 60 rioters in this tunnel,” he said in the first public account from D.C. police officers who fought to protect the Capitol... “We were battling 15,000 people. It looked like a medieval battle scene.”"

"Someone in the crowd grabbed Fanone’s helmet, pulled him to the ground and dragged him on his stomach down a set of steps. At around the same time, police said, the crowd pulled a second officer down the stairs."
"Nearly 60 D.C. police officers and an unknown number of Capitol officers were hurt in the siege, with injuries that included bruised and sprained limbs, concussions and irritated lungs. Sicknick, who police said physically engaged rioters, died the next day."
