   BIG CUP: THE WEEK’S BIG STORIES

Gotta go Cuomo! A report on New York’s handsy governor made it clear he’s guilty of abusing his power to sexually harass women while simultaneously grossing them out. Even President Biden said it’s time to go. And that singing!

A bipartisan infrastructure deal appears possible, at the same time Mitch McConnell threatens to crash the debt ceiling. The former President lashed out against the U.S. women’s soccer team so he could use the word ‘woke’ again, while Simone Biles came back for a bronze.

And to end your week on an up note, scientists fear a worst-case, doomsday COVID variant is coming. Take that, optimists!
