But ACCOUNTABILITY JOURNALISM and PUBLIC SCRUTINY made a difference.

And there is still so much work to do.

1. Tens of thousands of nursing home residents are dying of COVID-19

In response, the nursing home industry has launched a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign to acquire legal immunity against residents

AND IT'S WORKING

2. COVID-19 did not create the problems at nursing homes. It exposed them.

The GAO found that between 2013 and 2017, 82% of the nation's 15,000 nursing homes had "an infection prevention and control deficiency cited in one or more years."

3. The nursing home industry "has spent more than $4M on lobbying over the past year, employing more than a dozen full-time lobbyists."

It recently hired "Brian Ballard, former lobbyist for President Donald Trump"

16 states have granted them immunity

Trump just posted an insane video on Facebook featuring Joe Biden in a coffin
He also just tweeted -- and deleted -- a disgusting conspiracy theory about Joe Scarborough
Not exactly what you'd like to see from the President of The United States on Monday morning during a pandemic

1. Let's be clear about what's happening: The Republican Party is attempting to leverage the coronavirus -- which has killed nearly 100,000 Americans -- to discourage voting

The GOP is devoting millions to this effort

2. The GOP understands that the first Tuesday in November could coincide with a second waive of the coronavirus

They understand many people will be afraid to pack into a church basement to vote in those circumstances

And they're trying to exploit it

3. Over the weekend the RNC and other Republican groups filed a lawsuit attempting to prevent California from sending ballots to registered voters in the mail

The RNC does not provide actual evidence of voter fraud connected with mail-in ballots.
