It's easy to be cynical and say that the media don't report on what's going on, or that our representatives don't care, but that really doesn't seem to be true right now.

I've been watching CNN and MSNBC and listening to NPR, and reporters are definitely questioning whether what's going on is legal, why on earth Bannon is allowed to have this much influence, etc. Stuff that would have been mentioned in the past with a straight face is now being talked about with incredulity. Things are changing fast.
