NEW from @mattfleg: a deep dive into @NYGovCuomo's psyche - aggressive, avid, always-on - full of million-$$$ details, including talk of Jewish "tree houses," a self-described sex prowess & a testicular @JoeBiden comment. (You read all that correctly.) nytimes.com/2021/04/13/mag…

An excellent, thoughtful, and restrained judge. Not a loose cannon at all. This is significant.

New: A judge in DC ordered a lawyer behind a longshot election lawsuit to face a grievance committee, finding the complaint was full of debunked fraud claims. The judge said the attorney tried "to target processes at the heart of our democracy.” at.law.com/7rV8VA?cmp=sha…

We knew the vaccine distribution plan was a disaster. To now hear that it only dealt with orders coming in, trucks leaving, no plan on how to get them actually TO people, & lying about the numbers, shows how narrow a bullet we dodged. This would have gone on forever if Trump won.
