We're trying to lie back and relax this week before Christmas, but there's just so much idiocy and evil continuing to flow out of the Trump administration it's impossible to ignore.
So, by way of a compromise, we'll be posting links to information that needs to be widely known.
The link below goes to a just-released memo from the chairman of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis. It details some alarming suggestions about how to deal with the virus, such as infecting as many low-risk people as possible to initiate herd immunity. There is also a glimpse into to the crass cynicism of the administration, with HHS Senior Advisor Paul Alexander repeating the phrase "who cares?" regarding the public health impact.
These people should be arrested now, before they can disappear.
