"Nothing but the best people" is never not going to be funny. I plan to laugh at it until we’re all dead, which ought to be any minute now. From The Week:

Acting Deputy Homeland Security Secretary Ken Cuccinelli, who is the top member of President Trump's coronavirus task force, was having trouble accessing an online map produced by Johns Hopkins University of the virus' spread. So, he took to Twitter to ask if anyone else was having trouble with the website. He quickly realized the map was behind a paywall, much to his chagrin. But while Cuccinelli expressed dismay over the university's decision to restrict access during a time of global concern, others pointed out that it was actually little more worrisome that the U.S. government's task force leader was struggling with such a simple issue in the first place.

Cuccinelli is a lawyer and, for years, he has been a full-time wingut pest on the subject of what people do in their bedrooms and with whom and how often. He’s also kind of a nut on immigration. Now he’s on a task force fighting a worldwide pandemic on behalf of a president* who wouldn’t know a coronavirus from a lob wedge, and Cuccinelli can’t figure out how to work a website. I’m going out to look for a cave now where I can live until we figure out what the hell is going on here.
