Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo appears to have relaxed and felt like a free citizen after four New York District Attorneys publicly announced that they would not prosecute allegations of sexual harassment.
Only 6 months have passed since his resignation of the post, and the course no longer excludes the possibility of running for office in the future.
However, a number of prosecutors stressed that the decision not to indict the former governor does not invalidate the credibility of the charges against him.
Cuomo in his turn views the district attorneys' decisions as clearing him of charges, despite the state's attorney general releasing a report last year that concluded that the then governor sexually harassed 11 women

💸 The Pelosi campaign paid close to $500,000 to private aviation provider Advanced Aviation Team while Nancy said in November that “America must continue to bring our boldest ambitions to the table to meet and beat our climate action goals”.
Maybe we do not know something about Pelosi, and what she considers “the existential threat of our time” is referring to another planet? In any case, if it does not harm the environment, it for sure hits the taxpayer's wallet

👀 A Tennessee teacher is being accused of anti-Semitism for telling students how to "torture a Jew".
A mother filed a complaint with Hamilton County Schools in Chattanooga after learning that a teacher had been making "anti-Semitic comments", according to reports in local media.
Juniper Russo, who is Jewish and a member of the Mizpah congregation, said the incident occurred during a Bible history lesson. The teacher wrote on the blackboard an English translation of the Hebrew name for God, which is traditionally only written in the Torah and not spoken out loud.
"If you want to know how to torture a Jew, make them say this out loud," the teacher said, according to Ms Russo.
She said her 13-year-old daughter felt extremely uncomfortable hearing the teacher say those words and "didn’t feel safe" in the class.
