"The way Cuomo operates is by daring women to make an impossible choice: endure his abuse silently or speak up and risk your career," writes former Capitol reporter @jessicabakeman nym.ag/3qGT23k
"Andrew Cuomo's hands had been on my body — on my arms, my shoulders, the small of my back, my waist — often enough by late 2014 that I didn't want to go to the holiday party he was hosting for the Albany press corps at the executive mansion." nym.ag/3qGT23k
"I walked up to the governor, who was in the middle of a conversation with another reporter, and waited for a moment when I could interject." nym.ag/3qGT23k

Andrew Cuomo’s governorship has been defined by cruel behavior that disguised chronic mismanagement. Why was that celebrated for so long? @rtraister reports nym.ag/2PYF8wT
One year after Cuomo began his star turn as “America’s Governor,” his third term in office is suddenly deeply imperiled. The venal toxicity that has buttressed his political career has, at least temporarily, been exposed for what it is nym.ag/2PYF8wT
The multiple scandals erupting in Albany seem to toggle between sexualized harassment stories and evidence of mismanagement, but what is emerging is in fact a single story, writes @rtraister nym.ag/2PYF8wT

Five women on what they plan to do with their stimulus check, from taking maternity leave to helping out family members nym.ag/3bzRYtC
"My maternity leave is all unpaid, because I’m a freelancer. I’m planning to take as much time as I can, until I run out of savings. The stimulus check will make a huge difference with that." — Maya, 37 nym.ag/3bzRYtC
"This is the first time in my life when I’ve had the means to be able to help my family out financially, which means a lot." — Morgan, 44 nym.ag/3bzRYtC

For years, scientists have been hot-wiring viruses to be stronger, deadlier, and more transmissible. The bet was that their work would help prevent a global pandemic. But what if it caused one? @nicholsonbaker8 reports nym.ag/389IGD8
"What happened was fairly simple, I’ve come to believe," writes @nicholsonbaker8. "It was an accident. A virus spent some time in a laboratory, and eventually it got out." nym.ag/389IGD8 Image
"We still know very little about the origins of this disease," writes @nicholsonbaker8. "Nevertheless, I think it’s worth offering some historical context for our yearlong medical nightmare." nym.ag/389IGD8 Image
