President Donald Trump's decision to block Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, from appearing before the House of Representatives is ludicrous.
[cut]
If he wants to be a good leader in this time, Trump should promote free and open access to data about the virus and welcome input on how the U.S. can improve its response to the pandemic. Regardless of the political climate, the president should permit Congress to continue with its role in managing this crisis, which means that access to scientific testimony must come before politics.
In the same way, Democrats and Republicans in Congress should use these hearings to gather the facts, so we can improve our response, not as a political tool. Given indications that the administration knew more than it revealed, the hearings may have partisan consequences. But the goal of these hearings should be to uncover information, not to weaponize it for political gain.
In times like these, no one gets it 100 percent right. As the hearings reveal mistakes and failures, let's use them as an opportunity to improve, not to point fingers. We have a long way to go before the pandemic is behind us. The information the task force could provide can help us move forward with all the facts. All public officials, Democrats and Republicans, should get behind that goal.

Congress has the ultimate oversight authority, but they refuse to use it. They can withdraw funding from any executive branch agency that isnt permitted to subject itself to Congressional oversight. This is something these A-holes in Congress should have thought about before they constructed this unaccountable bureaucracy in the first place.
The house has given up any power for real oversight. They are simply in the business of attempting regime change. They gave up on oversight. The system is already dead.
Demand?? Ok, Karen.
