Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo will not be having Thanksgiving dinner with his 89-year-old mother and two of his three daughters, contrary to what he alluded to a radio interview on Monday.

However, later on Monday, a senior adviser for Cuomo told Insider the dinner will be off "given the current circumstances with COVID." "Don't tell his mom — she doesn't know yet," added Rich Azzopardi, a senior advisor to Cuomo, said in a statement.
President Donald Trump claims his campaign staff had to move the site of his rally to comply with Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf's COVID-19 protocols. At a rally in Allentown on Tuesday, Trump fumed about it to his supporters and issued a none-too-subtle threat to the state's Democratic governor. According to CNN, Trump threatened to withhold federal aid or other assistance the next time Pennsylvania needs it because Gov. Wolf inconvenienced him. I'll remember it, Tom. I'm gonna remember it, Tom. 'Hello, Mr. President, this is Governor Wolf, I need help, I need help.' You know what? These people are bad. President Donald J.

It also indicates Trump's mindset that the public purse is something he can wield as a personal weapon against those who displease him.
US presidential elections can be very tight. In 2000, for example, it took the Supreme Court to decide between Democrat Al Gore and Republican George W. Bush. But there are other ways to pick a winner in a tied US election. Take, for instance, the 1994 House of Representatives race in Wyoming. The governor broke the tie by pulling a Ping-Pong ball adorned with the name of the winner out of a cowboy hat. In the Silver State of Nevada, they settle ties by drawing cards—high card wins, naturally. This last happened in 2011, when neither frugal candidate in a North Las Vegas city council primary would pay $600 for a recount!
On Friday, Maria E. Ruiz Bonilla filed a whistleblower retaliation suit against McDonald's. Ruiz claims she was fired after protesting safety violations at the chain during the pandemic. She said the company lacked masks and cleaning supplies. "I was afraid, of course. I was thinking about losing my job," Ruiz told Business Insider. "But, at the same time, my fear of getting sick with COVID and dying was bigger." In response to the lawsuit, McDonald's said Ruiz allegations are untrue and cannot be confirmed.
