Yaron and Amy: “Stealth Power Grabs of the Coronavirus Era,” TODAY at 2 p.m. ET (11 a.m. PT)

Yes, finally, the Yaron and Amy show returns! Today, after we catch up a little, we’ll talk about several power-grabs, actual or threatened, by various politicians during this time while everyone is (understandably) distracted by the threat of Coronavirus. See Program Notes, below, for all the stories, etc., we plan to discuss.

UPDATE: The show was broadcast live on Yaron’s YouTube Channel; you can catch the replay here:

We’ve had weeks to work out solutions to these issues, and we could’ve done so if House and Senate leadership had allowed members to work on and debate today’s bill. Instead, they ignored members who asked for ways to deliberate remotely and negotiated this bill on their own.
