On Wednesday, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough claimed that “this version” of President Joe Biden is the “best Biden ever”—suggesting that the president, at age 81, is as mentally sharp and observant as ever before. Similarly, a recently published New York Times article suggests that Biden’s inner circle just needs to “let Joe be Joe” via TikTok posts, late-night talk show appearances, and chatting with reporters. How many 80-year-olds are posting on TikTok? Is this strategy really letting Joe be Joe?
Why did Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis meet with Vice President Kamala Harris before indicting former President Donald Trump? A Georgia court is hearing testimony to determine if Willis should be disqualified from the Georgia election interference case she brought against Trump. According to allegations, Willis engaged in an improper, romantic relationship with the lead prosecutor of the case, Wade—paying him an estimated $650,000 in taxpayer money. Willis is also alleged to have directly derived financial benefit from the relationship with Wade in the form of several extravagant vacations. Last month, Robin Yeartie—a longtime friend of Willis—testified that Willis and Wade had a romantic relationship dating back to 2019.
Grace Ashford of The New York Times writes: “Former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York has been subpoenaed to appear before a House subcommittee to answer for his administration’s handling of nursing homes during the coronavirus pandemic, reigniting a flashpoint that could further damage his chances at a political comeback… The Assembly investigation did not directly evaluate whether Mr. Cuomo’s order had led to the deadly outbreaks in nursing homes. But it did find that the administration had selectively reported statistics from those facilities to avoid criticism. At issue was New York State’s method of categorizing nursing home deaths. The state did not include in its tally nursing home residents who died in hospitals or other facilities from Covid, effectively reducing the reported mortality rates for nursing home residents.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/05/nyregion/cuomo-covid-nursing-homes-subpoena.html
