At least nine New York House members have called on embattled Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign. It's a dramatic escalation in the push to remove the governor from office amid allegations of sexual misconduct. politico.com/news/2021/03/1…

Members of Congress calling for Cuomo to resign include:
Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez
Mondaire Jones
Carolyn Maloney
Jerry Nadler
Adriano Espaillat
Nydia Velazquez
Yvette Clarke
Grace Meng

All 9 released statements this morning within minutes of one other politico.com/news/2021/03/1…

New York Attorney General Tish James is conducting an investigation into the allegations made against Cuomo in recent weeks, an effort being led by a pair of outside attorneys politico.com/news/magazine/…

Now, what seemed like political speculation in Albany just a week ago has become entirely feasible — the prospect that New York's Democratic-controlled state Legislature will impeach and remove Gov. Andrew Cuomo politico.com/states/new-yor…

65 of the N.Y. Legislature's 150 Democrats have called on the governor to either resign or be impeached.

If it goes forward, Cuomo would be the first N.Y. governor impeached since William Sulzer in 1913. politi.co/3vk2aOH

Update: Reps. Antonio Delgado and Brian Higgins have joined their colleague in calling for Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign. This brings the number of members of Congress from New York to release statements this morning to 11. politi.co/3l9wx5Q

It’s been nearly a year since George Floyd’s death sparked a national reckoning on race. How much has changed on the policy front?

The short answer: not much. 🧵
politi.co/2NTLdtM

In the immediate aftermath of Floyd’s death on May 25, 2020, legislators in two dozen states introduced scores of police reform bills. But only a fraction of governors had signed any of those measures into law.

This week, the House is expected to vote on the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act—again. The bill passed the chamber last summer but was never taken up by the then-Republican-controlled Senate.

After weeks in relative isolation at Mar-a-Lago without Twitter, Trump emerged at CPAC on Sunday ready to let loose.

Here’s what we learned from his first big post-presidency speech 👇

politico.com/newsletters/pl…

1️⃣ He’s not letting go of the “big lie.”

Trump went on a tear about the 2020 election being “rigged” and claimed he won — the very falsehood that led his followers to storm the Capitol on Jan. 6.
politico.com/newsletters/pl…

2️⃣ SCOTUS: From greatest accomplishment to top target.

On Sunday, he attacked the conservative court as “cowards” for refusing his bid to overturn the election results. politico.com/newsletters/pl…

HHS Secretary-designate Xavier Becerra appears to be on a smooth path to Senate confirmation. But two 2 days of generally collegial hearings in Senate panels exposed fault lines that could shape Biden's post-pandemic agenda. Our takeaways 👇 politi.co/3r0CGUk

1. The fight is shifting from who gets covered to the cost

Senators from both sides grilled Becerra on how the Biden administration will work to bring down the cost of insurance coverage, prescription drugs, and medical tests and procedures politi.co/3r0CGUk

2. ‘Medicare for All’ has replaced Obamacare as the GOP’s boogeyman

Finance ranking member Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) even demanded Becerra promise not to pursue a “federal takeover of health care.”
