This Is a Scandal: Trump Knew He’d Been Exposed to COVID and Went to Raise Money Anyway – Mother Jones

The Republican National Committee (RNC) is sending fundraising mailers in California and other states that look like the official U.S. census, a move critics worry will confuse people and skew actual census results. The mailers are labeled "2020 Congressional District Census" and are sent in envelopes reading: "Do Not Destroy.
