Former New York Gov. David Paterson (D) said Thursday that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) 14-day resignation plan is “suspicious.” “It was just a little puzzling that they wanted to have that amount of time,” Paterson stated in an interview with WNYC’s the Brian Lehrer Show. “And what they’re going to do with that time, it’s suspicious — I’ll put it that way.” Paterson, who was promoted from lieutenant governor to New York state’s chief executive following the resignation of sex scandal-plagued Gov.

Republican Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance on Thursday came out against using vaccine passport mandates to combat the coronavirus pandemic in the United States. Vance said in a statement shared to social media: Let me be clear, there is nothing more antithetical to what this country stands for than draconian vaccine passport mandates.

House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Friday sent a strong signal to President Joe Biden that his demand to tie a multi-trillion reconciliation package to the bipartisan infrastructure deal has very little chance of passing the House of Representatives. “I think my members need a chiropractor ‘cause they got whiplash after watching the president yesterday say there was a deal and say there was no deal, say: ‘You can have a deal on the trillion dollars on infrastructure, but you’ve got to vote for $5 trillion at the same time too, and you’ve got to raise taxes on everybody, and you’ve […]

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Thursday slammed the all-white bipartisan Senate infrastructure group’s lack of diversity after President Joe Biden announced his support for the group’s nearly $1 trillion proposal. Ocasio-Cortez lamented in a tweetstorm: The diversity of this “bipartisan coalition” pretty perfectly conveys which communities get centered and which get left behind when leaders prioritize bipartisan dealmaking over inclusive lawmaking (which prioritizes delivering the most impact possible for the most people). This is why a bipartisan pkg alone isn’t acceptable. The exclusion & denial of our communities is what DC bipartisan deals require. That’s how you get GOP on board : don’t do […]
