Lawmakers in New York are taking steps to pull back Cuomo's emergency powers. They are set to expire in April.

Senator Tedisco (R) says now the governor is trying to use them for the budget.

“He is actually suggesting, now, that the language we gave him allows him to unilaterally deal with this COVID virus, not only as a health matter, but as an economic matter, therefore giving him almost total control of the budget. We are no longer a branch of the government, because in the budget, he put language in that said any increase in revenue, he has full and total control of."

Oh what in the goddamn fuck

Yeah, Cuomo needs to relax with his powers. I mean that is bordering unconstitutional.

Cuomo is acting like a monarch and it needs to stop.

Cuomo is definitely wrong now.

Not going to lie, but first with the Nursing home deaths, then with this? What's next? I'm legit scared. I get it yes in some emergency there needs to be some control, but there is something called three-branch government and apparently, Cuomo never heard of it. If the senators can't do anything because of Cuomo's abuse of power then why vote for them? Makes no sense whatsoever. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the New Yorkers and officials who have to deal with this.

[Alcala-Cordel]

Yeah that’s why she’s not getting through

Idea: don't use Twitter, like at all.

I don't, but I see screenshots.

He definitely is. A lot of democrats in both the assembly and senate are upset with him. I think there is a possibility they scale it back or revoke it entirely.

The petition to recall Alaska's governor, Mike Dunleavy, has reached 75% of the necessary signatures, meaning a vote will likely be held sometime this summer just as with California

I hope a strong Democratic candidate runs just in case the recall is successful such as the current Lt. Governor.

Doesn't work like that in Alaska, it's a straight up-or-down vote. If he's recalled, the Lt. Governor takes over.

For fuck's sake, Cuomo.

Collins is against Neera. So sad when women don't stand with other women... Neera is a trail blazer who broke stereotypes about gender and race by outing a sexual assault survivor in revenge for speaking up. She broke boundaries by expanding the slave trade as a woman of color, and had lived experience with the programs she wanted to cut.

Trump is coming back for 2024 run. and I'm not even shocked. I just think its to soon for to know this.

although, I believe its just a way to avoid prison, since the USA would not dare to imprison someone who present themselves for president.

Well, at least it'll save this site storage space. If he does this, Biden will have no choice but to run again just to stave off the nation's political collpase.

If he does he will probably be easily defeated and it would just hurt the republican party. Maybe Ron desantis for republican nominee in 2024 tho?

On the one hand based, on the other hand I don’t think I can survive four more years of anti-trump people

Well, if there’s one certain way to mobilize democratic voters in an election, Trump’s name on the ticket is it...

Chair of the Burlington VT GOP has resigned saying the party has been hijacked by far right extremists and the state parties failure to condemn the insurrection. 19 year old Kolby La Marche not only resigned but left the party entirely.

He said in a statement "As a result of their fixation on loyalty to narcissistic national leaders and their adoption of a politics of personal revenge, I am disappointed to conclude that it is no longer productive for me to serve the remainder of my term as chair.”

In his letter, LaMarche said the Vermont Republican Party has been “hijacked by far-right extremists” and “rather than doing the hard and necessary work of improving Vermonters’ lives and engaging constructively to move our state forward, they would rather embrace the easy answers of bigotry, divisiveness and destruction.”

Explaining his decision to leave the GOP entirely, LaMarche wrote, “Since it is abundantly clear that current party leadership is determined to destroy the party’s integrity and electoral future for their own personal gain, I see no way for me to stay true to my own principles while remaining within the party.”

If I could legally vote against that bastard 40 times I'd do it in a heartbeat. And I'm not even a Dem.

The GOP has certainly devolved into something none of us even recognize anymore. Even for those that opposed the party's views, it's still amazing they have become something entirely worst and unrecognizable, and in a bad way too.

Oh, that reminds me: I have to change my affiliation in my State; I registered as Republican to vote in the NJ Primaries (I wrote in names mostly). Since there's no "Independent" choice in NJ, I have to select "Un-Affiliated". I know I won't be going back to them anytime soon.
