This is a massive scandal. Not "should be," but "is."
Ways and Means Committee DemocratsEvery day, this Administration unlocks new levels of corruption never thought possible. At a time when families are struggling to stay afloat, they’re being denied jobs and opportunities by their president because of their political views.
The GOP is making a mockery of the phrase “hindsight is 20/20” by having the hindsight equivalent of cataracts.

One drum I keep beating is that the Trumpification of the Republican Party is irreversible. Even after he's gone it will be exclusively cranks, charlatans, and malevolent antisocial goons. "It was always like that"-it wasn't! It's gotten steadily, measurably worse, and he was the nail in the coffin
Don MoynihanNew, from me: It is fine to disagree with aspects of the pandemic response.
