Trump Demands Schools Reopen-Does Nothing To Make Schools Safe. He just wants the talking point that America is back, has no interest in protecting students, teachers, staff and their families. He and Betsy DeVos make quite the team. My daughter, who is a high school math teacher in Rhode Island, and a damn good one, has been staying with us along with her husband. Virtually every day, she is on Zoom meetings working to prepare for the fall and the myriad of contingencies facing schools. They have to plan for a full reopening, a partial reopening, and full learning from home. They have to prepare for students whose parents will not permit to be physically present, students who develop symptoms while at school, you name it. Trump has no idea what is going on behind the scenes, what the challenges are, and he doesn’t care. The very idea of this simpleton pressuring schools to reopen b/c (a) economy and (b) his political fortunes makes me hate him even more.
Trump’s War On Voting By Mail Could Bring Down Rethugs. Even more than they’re gonna get brought down in November, I mean. BTW, reporters? You don’t have to use the term ‘nervous Republican operatives’ any more. To be a Rethug operative is to be perpetually nervous this year.
The Sh*t Show That Is Testing In Arizona. Trump’s already lost Florida. Ducey is well on his way to turning Arizona blue.
Airline Companies Got Bailouts To Protect Workers–Then Laid Off Workers. Crooks gonna steal. Corporate crooks gonna steal big.
The Obligatory Trump Family Dysfunction Piece. I’m sure you’ve likely devoured more than one by now.
Chief Justice Roberts’ Head Injury. I include this only to start the countdown until Trump blames the Chief Justice’s ‘liberal’ decisions on the injury, and calls for him to step aside.
