And so they should be called to the carpet to answer how the budget got this way. I’m absolutely sick of the news framing this as if the city council is a bunch of screeching harpies for demanding answers. The council is correct!

A nursing home boss stole his workers' Social Security and Medicare money. He got 18 months and $4.4M restitution. A Mar-a-Lago dinner erased it. If pardons go to whoever can afford a plate, workers get robbed twice: once by him, once by the system. #TrumpsCorruptCongress

Not sure if people know Wakefield was trying to sell a competing measles vaccine when he made up his fraudulent study about the MMR. It was only after that failed (because he is a complete fraud) that he started grifting off opposing all vaccines. It’s all just a grift. Antivaxxers are their marks.
