Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton released a statement on Monday where she announced support for an investigation into allegations of sexual assault that have been waged against Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D). “These stories are difficult to read, and the allegations brought forth raise serious questions that the women who have come forward and all New Yorkers deserve answers to,” Clinton said in the statement. “I’m glad to see that there will be a full, independent, and thorough investigation,” she added. Last week, a former Cuomo aide went public with accusations of unwanted sexual advances from Cuomo. Lindsey Boylan, the former deputy secretary for economic development and special adviser to Cuomo, said Cuomo repeatedly touched her body, attempted to kiss her on the mouth, invited her to play “strip poker,” and overtly objectified her, documenting her experiences with screenshots of emails and texts in a Medium post. According to Boylan, Cuomo’s top female staff members “normalized” the governor’s behavior and she was “reprimanded” when she chose to “speak up” after Cuomo kissed her without consent. Boylan wrote: After that, my fears worsened. I came to work nauseous every day. My relationship with his senior team — mostly women — grew hostile after I started speaking up for myself. I was reprimanded and told to get in line by his top aides, but I could no longer ignore it. On September 26, 2018, I sent a mass email informing staff members of my resignation. A second former aide came forward with sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo on Sunday. Charlotte Bennett, a health policy adviser in the Democratic governor’s administration until November, told the New York Times that Cuomo inquired about her sex life and asked whether she had had sex with older men. A video resurfaced on Sunday of Cuomo saying to a female reporter, “I want to see you eat the whole sausage,” during the 2016 New York State Fair. On Sunday, Cuomo issued ...

My husband and I are in the 65+ age group trying to get the vaccine. Now that restaurants and other venues are opening up with unlimited/limited capacity on March 1st, can we go to these places and not be too concerned about getting covid? – FloJo I would not change your behavior at all until you are both fully vaccinated. But the vaccines, while highly effective, are not 100% effective so there is still a small chance you could get COVID-19. You’ll have to weigh the risks and benefits of going out and about. I would continue to wear a mask and socially distance wherever possible. Indoor dining is risky because you have to take your mask off for some period of time, so I might think twice about doing that. Dine outdoors whenever possible.

‘You Didn’t Answer Me!’: CNBC Host Clashes With Sen. Elizabeth Warren Over ‘Ultra-Millionaire Tax’ Proposal
CNBC host Joe Kernan clashed with Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Tuesday over her proposed “Ultra-Millionaire Tax.” Warren was questioned by Kernan while appearing on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” over the annual tax rates in her proposal and why they seem to be arbitrarily set at the determined levels of 2% and 3%. Kernan began by verifying that Warren didn’t think the rich people she wants to tax had “broken any laws to accrue all this wealth” and that the tax proposal wasn’t “punitive.” He then asked why the tax rates weren’t more “progressive” and set at higher rates if it was decided that those subject to the tax had already “crossed the rubicon” into having “more money than you can ever spend.” “Why not make it truly progressive and do 10% at a billion? Do 20% at a billion. Why not do it that way? … What would be the problem?” he asked. Warren responded by saying that she’s “just a girl from Oklahoma” and that “$3 trillion actually sounds like a lot of money,” referring to the amount she says the tax would raise. She then said that the 2% and 3% weren’t “punitive” and those people paying the tax can still “grow their fortunes.” (RELATED: ‘Grow A Backbone’: Elizabeth Warren Ramps Up Pressure On SEC To Regulate Stock Market) “It’s enough for universal child care. It’s enough for universal pre-k. It’s enough to make sure that every baby in this country has good care and raise the wages of every child care worker and pre-school teacher in America,” she added. “You didn’t answer me!” Kernan interrupted. “Make it 10 times as good!” He went on to say that it looked like she was trying to change “the rules of the game” on people who have paid their taxes while accruing their wealth, and that people “would rather do really good things with the money” than give it to the government. He reiterated his original question, asking, “Why not make it 5% or 10% on people that are really loaded?” “I’m loving this morning. ...
Did Dead People Vote For Joe Biden? Jon Keller Answers Your Questions
BOSTON (CBS) — You’ve got questions about politics and public policy, WBZ-TV Political Analyst Jon Keller has answers. Why in the world is Congress allowed to tack unrelated pet project pork amendments onto otherwise important legislation?

Did you know we are home to the most expensive transportation earmark in US history? It’s called the Big Dig, a fun fact to mull over next time you’re stuck in traffic on the Zakim bridge. Twenty years ago, amid public outcry, there was bipartisan agreement on a moratorium on earmarks, but after a few years of decline the practice bounced back and just last week House Democrats voted to officially bring them back. You can change that the same way you change anything in Washington – by applying political pressure with phone calls, emails, and your vote. Why don’t we have sports gambling here yet? – Ben on Twitter When the Supreme Court legalized it nearly three years ago, while some states jumped right in, most did not due in part to disagreement on how to proceed among key players like pro sports leagues. Most of those issues have been resolved and while there’s still vocal opposition to having it here from Massachusetts colleges, it’s looking increasingly likely that we will finally get it, perhaps in time for the NFL season next fall. But it’s not a top priority because the payoff is relatively small, an estimated $35 million in state tax revenue. By comparison, legal pot sales generate more than double that to the state coffers, and the state lottery brings in a billion a year or more. READ MORE: President Biden Directs States To ...
Asian Americans suffer racist attacks during COVID-19 pandemic
Nearly a year after they were almost stabbed to death inside a Midland, Texas, Sam’s Club, Bawi Cung and his two sons all have visible scars. It’s the unseen ones though that are harder to get over. Cung can’t walk through any store without constantly looking in all directions. His 6-year-old son, who now can’t move one eyebrow, is afraid to sleep alone. On a Saturday evening in March, when COVID-19 panic shopping gripped the nation, Cung was in search of rice at a cheaper price. The family was in the Sam’s Club meat section when Cung suddenly felt a punch to the back of his head. A man he didn’t know then slashed his face with a knife. The assailant left but soon returned to stab the boys. He wounded the 3-year-old in the back and slashed the 6-year-old from his right eye to a couple of inches past his right ear. The grisly encounter brought home the dangerous climate Asian Americans have faced since the coronavirus entered the U.S., with racially motivated harassment and assaults occurring from coast to coast. Now, just more than a year and thousands of incidents later, some of the early victims find moving forward has been difficult or, at best, bittersweet. A recent wave of attacks on older Asian Americans — including the death of an 84-year-old San Francisco man — has fueled worries that hostilities have only worsened. In Cung’s case, the man responsible for the attack believed the Myanmar man and his children were Chinese and spreading the virus, according to the FBI. Cung said he’s not sure what would have happened had a Sam’s Club employee, Zach Owen, not intervened. “Maybe I might kill him. Maybe he might kill all of my family. I don’t know,” Cung said. “God protected my family, God sent Zach to protect my family right there at the right time.” Owen, who was stabbed in the leg and deeply cut in his right palm, and an off-duty Border Patrol agent detained the suspect, Jose Gomez, 19. Verbal attacks have also made a lasting mark. In ...
