It appears that senate democrats have become as cowed and cowardly as republicans and will not filibuster the CR. They are now complicit in the end of democracy.
When an intelligence service five years ago assumed something which may or may not be backed by evidence I’d say perhaps we need to move away from that assessment.
Have you considered the probability that what we knew in 2020 - in the midst of the pandemic - may not have been informed by testable scientific fact so much as fear?
What do you think that switch buys us other then a history free naive response next time that skips over dozens of effective alternatives in search of something that “feels” good?
And it took them how long to arrive at that analysis? Which tells us we should do what differently next time? And gets China to tell us the truth how exactly.?

Please god no.

They may - though they will be cowards if they do.
Nothing says authoritarian like making freedom itself a felony.

You really aren’t paying attention are you?
