1) Democrats kept holding out these past days for.. (get this) a body that would have subpoena power to investigate all aspects of the Trump pandemic response. Unbelievable. (Impeachment mentality, still...) They didn't get their wish.
2) We instead get a "Congressional Oversight Committee" to review Treasury loans. Check out who will be on the board. The last "member" (E) ought to be fun. With luck, no one will ever agree, and we can forgo this newest exercise in politicized oversight. 
3)Adding a caveat here. Am now seeing something in bill that looks very fishy--a body called the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee. Needs a lot more explanation.
4) Update on this Pandemic committee: It is a group of IGs across government, set up much as with oversight of Obama "stimulus," with same powers. Designed to keep an eye on government handling of money, to guard against waste/fraud/abuse. Probably OK.
5) Nothing like Schumer/Pelosi demand this week for equivalent of the weaponized congressional TARP panel that Liz Warren was appointed to run in 2008. D's wanted same this time to allow Dems sweeping new investigation into pandemic response. GOP wisely stood down such demands.
