Rand Paul is currently shamelessly (and unsurprisingly) ranting about government overstep, and basically saying Fauci should stop trying to fear monger over COVID.
Paul, basically: Stop saying football shouldn& #39;t come back!!!!

It& #39;s important to watch this for a couple of reasons:
1. As Paul is clearly demonstrating with his rant, GOP leadership largely continue to not take this seriously. We have to call them on this - every state spiking is a reminder why. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/national/coronavirus-us-cases-deaths/?itid=hp_hp-top-table-main_web-gfx-death-tracker%3Ahomepage%2Fstory-ans">https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/...

2. Important to remember (and I& #39;m annoyed the media has basically dropped this): the HEROES Act (HR 6800) passed the House in May.
The Senate is absolutely dragging their feet on voting. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/116/hr6800">https://www.govtrack.us/congress/...

3. This bill, plus what is being discussed at this hearing, determines where this country is going with COVID.
We either start focusing on a strategy, or we& #39;re going to continue seeing horrifying spikes across the country.
Either way, the Senate needs to be held to account.
