The 25th Hour

THE 25TH HOUR RECAP for May 9-15, 2021:

• The City & State are reviewing recent CDC guidelines allowing fully vaccinated people to shed their masks indoors, as commuters are incentivized with freebies and easy subway station vaccinations.
• NYC mayoral candidates squared off in the first of three debates, with contenders taking shots at each other in testy exchanges.
• Cuomo has gone from denial to defiance, maintaining he did nothing wrong, period, and is even trying to define the word harassment to reporters.
• Biden celebrates the CDC's new guidance while being thrown off course by the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas as he continues to negotiate his infrastructure proposal with Democrats.
• Liz Cheney has officially been replaced with Elise Stefanik, Marjorie Taylor Greene verbally accosted AOC, and the January 6th Commission is one more step closer to fruition as Republicans continued to make excuses for Trump supporters on the day of the insurrection.
• And if getting vaccinated isn't good enough for you, move to Ohio, where you might win a chance to earn $1 million for your shot.
