So it all goes on the record, and you and Matt should be applauded as a member of a small club of actual journalists.. What if anything will change? Half of the country is so entrenched in the ends justifying the means, certain of the moral rightness of their position, that they fail to care about the Constitution, the rule of law. What will happen when our children aren’t even taught about the protections of the Constitution, just its lack of “equity,” when our courts work even more slowly than they do now. Our potus purposely issues executive orders he knows are illegal, sure in the knowledge that by the time the courts rule, he will have already ensured his votes.. Where does this all leave us?

Well done, Michael. Beginning with Eisenhower's admonition regarding the potential hijacking of public policy by a "scientific-technological elite" is brilliant. Isn't that what we've seen with COVID and climate change, too?

Just finished watching the hearing. Elon, Michael, Matt, Bari, Alex, and colleagues are the Woodward/Bernstein/Ellsberg of the 21st century.

Courage, my friends!
