I know there's a lot going on, but the Senate just passed a reckless amendment to ban mask mandates on public transportation for the next fiscal year.
Shamefully, 10 Democrats voted in favor of a ban:
Baldwin (D-WI)
Bennet (D-CO
Brown (D-OH)
Kaine (D-VA)
Kelly (D-AZ)
Klobuchar (D-MN)
Manchin (D-WV)
Rosen (D-NV)
Shaheen (D-NH)
Tester (D-MT)
@luckytran I mean, it's a reflection of the way government agencies lost the faith of the public through their actions during the pandemic and in the aftermath after reporting uncovered a whole bunch of sketchy stuff.
If they wanted to maintain their credibility and power they probably should have conducted themselves in more transparent, more science-based, more objective -based ways. But they didn't.
Authoritarians misbehaved and now the public is increasingly skeptical of authority. It's so completely predictable. Yay democracy.
