In November I told GrASSley to push to pass the PRESS ACT and he expressed being a fierce defender of the 1st Amendment.
Here's a new letter I've sent him about current attacks on the media. We'll see what his tune is now.

An average person who did something as incompetent as “accidentally cancelling Ebola prevention” wouldn’t be applauded, they’d be fired.
And they didn’t restore it, Elon Musk was lying, the Ebola prevention work still isn’t happening.

Musk: I should say we will make mistakes. We won't be perfect. But when we make a mistake we'll fix it quickly. So for example with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled briefly was Ebola prevention.
