7. A top Cuomo aide told a group of Democratic legislators that the administration did not release accurate nursing home data earlier because they were concerned the data "was going to be used against us." https://t.co/Hl4fsFxB6l — PolitiTweet.org

6. James also found that Cuomo was severely undercounting the number of COVID deaths in nursing homes. After James' report, Cuomo released new numbers which show that nursing home deaths were much higher than previously disclosed. https://t.co/Hl4fsFxB6l https://t.co/4a0UI7nJFZ — PolitiTweet.org

5. A new report by NY AG Letitia James (D) found Cuomo's order requiring nursing homes to accept residents w/COVID "may have put residents at increased risk of harm" Cuomo dismissed criticisms of his nursing home policies in his book as "despicable" https://t.co/Hl4fsFxB6l — PolitiTweet.org

@NYGovCuomo 4. Overall, 46K New Yorkers have died of COVID, which trails only California (47K), a state with 2x as many people. On a per capita basis, New York has had more deaths than every state but New Jersey. Cuomo made decisions that made things worse. https://t.co/Hl4fsFxB6l — PolitiTweet.org

@NYGovCuomo 3. Today, New York has 338 people hospitalized with COVID per million residents. This is the HIGHEST NUMBER IN ANY STATE by a considerable margin. https://t.co/Hl4fsFxB6l https://t.co/D4TiThBTba — PolitiTweet.org

@NYGovCuomo 2. Cuomo WROTE A BOOK, published in October, celebrating his own leadership during the pandemic. Cuomo writes that NY had "confronted and defeated" the virus, and had "achieved what all the experts told us was impossible." Today, things look different. https://t.co/Hl4fsFxB6l — PolitiTweet.org

We don’t talk about “political correctness” anymore because then it would be clear that the cancel culture stuff is just a worn out bit from the 90s — PolitiTweet.org

To be clear, some of the rioters were trying to murder Nancy Pelosi and Jordan and Nunes have decided that she’s to blame — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Jim Jordan and Devin Nunes are engaged in an outlandish effort to blame the events of January 6 -- events which they helped make possible by spreading Trump's voter fraud lies and objecting to the Electoral College vote -- on Nancy Pelosi. — PolitiTweet.org

I have never read or even heard of Slate Star Codex until this week but the author has moved to Substack and as someone who runs a newsletter I'm positive that being featured in the NYT will benefit Scott Alexander, regardless of what the article says — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias Long-term branding and market positioning. It’s why the price of lobster doesn’t go down much even when there is a glut — PolitiTweet.org

After that failed what other option do they have other than trying to court Democrats? — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

They also spent a lot of money trying to re-elect Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue and keep Mitch McConnell in charge of the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

@deenashanker I hope it’s not possible because, with libraries closed, we’ve bought a ridiculous number over the last year. Just had to give away 4 bags worth so we could walk again in my son’s room — PolitiTweet.org

After McConnell's moral preening on the Senate floor, he's more honest in an interview with Politico: "The only thing I care about is electability" https://t.co/ANzGQVmisi — PolitiTweet.org

Never forget what Mitch McConnell did: 1. Delayed the start of Trump’s trial until after he left office 2. Claimed the trial was unconstitutional because Trump left office (False) 3. Voted to acquit Trump 4. Gave grandstanding speech saying Trump was “morally” responsible — PolitiTweet.org

Neguse did an incredible job. — PolitiTweet.org

I really hope this isn’t true — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

McConnell’s justification for his vote was an absurd jurisdictional argument — that the Senate can’t conduct a trial because Trump is out of office In addition to be legally wrong, it was only available to him because HE REFUSED to conduct the trial earlier — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Talk is cheap. McConnell has an opportunity to hold Trump accountable and refused. — PolitiTweet.org

There are a lot of Republican guilty votes. Things were getting worse for Trump as the proceeding wore on. This is why they were so eager to end it. — PolitiTweet.org

In the end, Trump’s defense is indistinguishable from a segment on Infowars. The only thing that’s missing is the pitch for brain pills. — PolitiTweet.org
