When Trump contracted COVID, U.S. intelligence monitored foreign governments for mean comments, per document I obtained under FOIA.
Department of Homeland Security conducted a "review of Kremlin-linked, English-language online journals" for references to Trump's illness:

Had to turn down interviews about Gerry Connolly because I’m traveling today. This is like when Aaron Rupar missed Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania rally

Federal law enforcement recently started blurring out officer's faces — including even the backs of their heads — in press releases.
I asked them why and they actually responded:

"When late-Oversight chair Elijah Cummings, a Democrat, was unable to act as chair due to health issues, he tapped then-Rep. Carolyn Maloney to act in his capacity. She ultimately became the committee chair."

Gerry Connolly asked 70 year old Rep. Stephen Lynch to take up his Oversight responsibilities until the next election. Lynch’s background is…colorful:
“Lynch was arrested for drunkenly attacking a group of Iranian students protesting U.S. intervention abroad”

A political masterclass by the Democrats: They chose as the face of their opposition to Trump a dying septuagenarian instead of the member drawing 20K+ anti-Trump protest crowds across the country, who is now off the committee and unlikely to make a comeback. www.politico.com/live-updates...

He's the MINORITY Leader because Democrats lost the Senate. You are by definition not doing "very well!"
Sen. Michael Bennett gave a thoughtful critique of his own party for its "inability to offer a compelling vision"; but when asked if he agrees, Chuck Schumer replied: "No. We're doing very well."
