In the news today: Florida COVID-19 cases soar after state Republicans dismantle pandemic safety measures with sneering "Don't Fauci my Florida" campaigns: Anyone have a spare "Mission accomplished" banner? Republican members of the Jan. 6 insurrection probe indicate that Rep. Jim Jordan and House minority leader Kevin McCarthy will very likely be subpoenaed to answer questions about their communications with Trump during the violence. Participants in an angry protest of St. Louis County mask requirements are being asked to quarantine after, you guessed it, a member of the maskless indoor crowd tested positive for COVID-19.
