In a world where the incumbent president bowed to pressure and stepped aside, it doesn’t seem like such a monumental ask to switch minority leaders.

So we begin the work week with Trump pardons and Democratic rationales.
Meanwhile 42 million people face the week without SNAP benefits.
That’s cruelty with a capital R…. for Republican.

As the world mourns Dr Watson, it’s worth noting that Rosalind Franklin was the first person to photograph DNA structure back in 1953. Watson helped steal her photograph and, with it, went on to win the Nobel prize. Franklin died at 37, unaware that her photograph was stolen

Minutes after MAGA congresswoman Elise Stefanik announced her candidacy for #NYGov, a Team Hochul Twitter account for @governor.ny.gov posted this ad.
And boy, it's savage!
But also, if the ad airs on TV, it'll boost Stefanik's chances in a GOP primary.
Hochul wants to face her. #NewYork #NYpol
