The FIRST thing Dems can do is get rid of the 5 min question time, which allows Repubs like Barr to run out the clock. Go to unlimited time and get one person to ask most of the questions so they can ask followups.

This is not that hard and Dems are screwing the pooch. This is a national crisis and the GOP is running circles around the Dems because Dems haven’t figured out yet the rules have changed.
