I’m trying to reconcile Trump still owning Operation Warp Speed as a victory (which it was) with GOP claiming the vaccine killed millions of people. Isn’t the person to blame, then, Trump, not Fauci??

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Joni Ernst asks Fauci if it was really his plan to persuade Trump to try to slowing the spread of covid, as though her question is a gotcha and that was a bad course of action
One of the many good decisions that Fauci made. Love that he also refers to it as hydoxxychloroquine.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Peter Navarro: "I had a million doses of hydroxychloroquine in warehouses as the defense policy coordinator that I was trying to distribute to hospitals. And Fauci got the FDA stop me from doing that."
What a weird way to report this. He is reviled by loons like Rand Paul. A motivated figure who was once told directly and correctly by Fauci that he did not know what he was talking about.
The Atlantic@theatlantic.com · last wk.Anthony Fauci has made few public comments about the long campaign to obliterate his legacy—but tomorrow, Senator Rand Paul is forcing him to talk, @katherinejwu.com writes. She reports on what’s at stake:
During a #GMB discussion on Nigel Farage, well done to Kevin Maguire for pointing out that his fellow guest is in business with Farage, a point the hosts should have made (and subsequently did, but only after Maguire had already done so!)

“Farage has repeatedly denied wrongdoing, saying he was under no obligation to report the gifts because they were private offerings.” Except it is very plainly an obligation to declare any sum direct or indirect over £300 received 12 months prior to being elected.

Gets a laugh, but not true. What there is, is some degree of camaraderie; because governing is hard. I’m trying to think of the last EUCO that would meet the description below and you’d probably have to go back to post-Brexit. Not sure there’s been greater accord before or since.
