Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo scored another win in his efforts to unravel the state’s new ethics commission, as part of an ongoing spat over his pandemic-era book deal.

There was a time that he and the hair-apparent, Gavin N. were considered the Dem heavy hitter presidential prospects who sat out Trump’s inevitable win in 2020 to wait for better timing in 2024. Look at them now.

There was an investigation of ethics in the government.
None were found.

Nod to comedian Mark Russell (1923-2023) RIP.

He killed at least 18,000 people in New York. Newsom killed many thousands as well in California by denying medical care.
