Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) turned a haircut into a PR moment Friday, when he sat for a televised trim from a hairdresser freshly released from jail after being held in contempt of court and defying the state’s stay-at-home orders.
Let’s just call them “infantilists,” if we need to think of this stuff as an ideology. Policy, defined as what you do rather than grown-up thought-out policy, is simply to do whatever you want.

Already a week ago, Texas was reporting that 40% of covid deaths were happening in nursing homes and assisted care facilities. If you are Ted, I think the question is “why so few?” Surely you can kill more elderly, Texas. After all, you have some of the best conditions in the nation.
Brian Lee, executive director of the Austin-based watchdog group Families For Better Care, said Texas’ nursing home quality has been “bottom of the barrel in the nation for years.” For three straight years, Texas has ranked last in the nation on the organization’s annual report card that analyzes nursing home quality.
