Complete The Investigation, Already!

New York voters aren’t ready for Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to resign just yet, despite calls from top state officials for him to step down in the face of multiple sexual misconduct allegations. 

A new poll from Siena College found that 50 percent of voters in New York believe Cuomo should stay in office for now, while little more than one-third — 35 percent — believe it's time for him to leave the governor’s mansion.

Indict Trump, Already, Before He Leaves The USA!

Donald Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen, said he would go in for a seventh interview on Wednesday with the Manhattan district attorney’s office pursuing a criminal investigation into the former U.S. president.

In a brief interview with Reuters, he likened a March 1 U.S. Supreme Court decision denying Trump’s last-ditch effort to keep his tax records private to the “holy grail” for Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr.’s investigation into whether the Trump Organization committed financial crimes.

FDR in 1944, recalling this month 1933:

“You remember...the starvation wages...foreclosures of homes...bankruptcies of business...the young men and women...facing a hopeless, jobless future...the blank despair of a whole nation...the utter impotence of the federal government.”
