The Senate majority leader rarely straightens his spine to break with President Trump. And when he does, you can always expect push back about as stiff as a wet noodle.
There’s a lot to digest already this afternoon, but here’s a friendly reminder that while the nation is grappling with social and racial unrest, all while still in the very real throngs of a global pandemic, 2020 elections are still happening.
The irony.
Speaking to governors and other state officials from the Oval Office just now, President Trump suggested that most of those governors on the call were “weak” and urged state leaders to crack down on violence as protests erupt across the nation following the death of George Floyd last week.
The police officer who pinned George Floyd to the ground with his knee while Floyd repeatedly shouted that he couldn’t breathe has been arrested.
The Associated Press just reported the news. We’ll get you more details as we learn them, but it is still unclear what he’s been charged with.
I check President Trump’s public schedule every single (week) day. Sometimes you notice trends.
If President Trump had his way, mask-wearing would play a crucial role in whatever us-versus-them narrative he attempts to spin for his reelection.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) has clearly recovered from the utterly devastating blow President Trump dealt his ego last month.
Today, he’s forcing the city of Baltimore to host him, against officials’ will.
Yesterday he refused to wear a mask for most of his tour of a Michigan Ford plants and can’t seem to stop himself from publicly feuding with female officials in the state.
