Here are just two stories dated June 6, the day it happened.

NPR

Washington Post

In addition, the New York Times ran an op-ed on June 7 by one of the fired board members.

The problem is the firehose of horrible shit that keeps coming from this administration and journalism's ability to keep up while at the same time following up on previous stories.

You're right that this shit should STILL be in the news, not something we have to Google to determine if it was ever covered.

hides the fact they don't care about solving all problems. We do, so they tell us that so people believe they care. They want one thing. Wealth. For themselves, and their bloodline.

Campaigning on a platform of screwing the entire US public. It's the repuglican way.

I knew Mulvaney was a bircher Koch guy, but this is something special:
