10,000 Health and Human Services employees are being laid off. These are the people who track diseases, conduct research, make sure our food and medicine is safe, and administer health insurance for nearly half the country. Tell me how this will "make America healthy again."

One of the tired old truisms of post-Watergate Washington is “It’s not the crime, it’s the coverup.” Usually it’s both—but this coverup reflects the cult-like insistence on unreality as a sign of tribal loyalty. John Avlon on Signalgate:

FORTY MILLION DOLLARS to detain 400 migrants at Gitmo. That's $100,000 a person just to hold them for a few days — when they could far more easily be held in the United States! Just a couple weeks ago it was reported to have cost $16 million. So the price tag is skyrocketing.
