George Gascon’s Sinking Poll Numbers
If George Gascon, the rogue district attorney for Los Angeles County, had Scooby-Doo as a dog, he would be hearing “ruh roh” around the house a lot these days.

Chris Cuomo Should Resign
Color me shocked that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo knuckled under to demands he resign after a devastating report detailing his sexual harassment of 11 women.
