"If the standard for airing a story becomes, 'the government must agree to be interviewed,' then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from being an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state."

Republicans undermine vaccines, giving kids measles.
Why?
To reinforce their base's anti-science paranoia.
Republicans cut wind power amid rising demand.
Why?
Because their donors get rich – and they do, too – from nuclear energy and fossil fuels.
There's always a reason. But not a good reason.

Democrats at the highest levels must admit that Trump and his minions are a criminal organization and forcefully say so at every opportunity.
And they must have a sweeping and comprehensive strategy to rebuild a better constitutional democracy from what’s left of Trump’s mafia state.

It's time now for Congressional Democrats to develop a clear strategy to more forcefully challenge Trump's destructive lawlessness
