Cuomo declares NY in a gun violence emergency - will treat like COVID  Headline: Cuomo declares 'state emergency' on gun violence in New York The First take: So, the NY governor declares an emergency and will treat gun violence the way he treated COVID?

Dershowitz predicts charges against Trump CEO will be dropped Headline: Dershowitz Predicts Charges Against Trump Org's CFO Will Be Tossed The First take: Professor Dershowitz makes a very logical argument here.
