How The Virus Won. Absolutely essential reporting from the Times. A reconstruction from the very beginning, featuring very cool maps. Yes, tens of thousands of lives could have been saved.
Rethugs’ Response To Charges Of DOJ Corruption: “La la la, we can’t hear you”. Try to drown out witnesses, question why one is testifying from home. Nothing about DOJ or corruption. The entire Rethuglican Party is a criminal conspiracy.

Nothin’ Stops The Delaware State Fair. At this point, Carney is just being pushed along by the momentum for reopening. At least he got his budget. It remains to be seen how much gamesmanship will take place in the Senate today on the Bond Bill and the Grant-In-Aid bill. You will note that the Bond Bill isn’t even on the agenda. Which is not to say that it can’t/won’t work under a ‘Motion To Suspend Rules’.
