Civil Rights icon Rep. John Lewis passed away on Friday at 80 years old.

The GOP's debate over masks is still in full swing, as GA Gov. Brian Kemp suspends mask mandates in the state, fmr. WH Dr. Ronny Jackson claims he doesn't wear masks "that often," and Brian Kilmeade is still just totally confused at why masks even exist in the first place. How to deal with bad faith actors in politics? The right-wing is also attempting to push the narrative that children are somehow "immune" to Covid-19, despite literally no data existing to back that idea up. A woman who refused to wear a mask at Starbucks claims she deserves half of the 100k her barista raised for refusing to serve her.

Biden has released a new, more ambitious climate plan --but does it go far enough? Geraldo Rivera is, for some reason, defending Ghislaine Maxwell. Oklahoma Gov.

Trump says he "aced" a recent cognitive test and claimed that the doctors were "very surprised."

SCOTUS rules that Trump cannot block the release of his financial records from prosecutors --however the documents may still be barred from the public until after the election, at the very least. Trump got extremely angry about the ruling, tweeting out his disdain in all caps. Healthcare workers on the frontlines of the pandemic are still in dire need of PPE; but the WH is claiming that any concerns over shortages are "overblown." The #DefundThePolice movement sparked by George Floyd's murder and the protests that ensued have had a significant impact on American attitudes surrounding race.

The Trump team's new re-election strategy is to bank on Americans just becoming "numb to the escalating death toll." Brian Kilmeade toed the party line like a good little boy, echoing the idea that we're just going to have to "live with" Covid-19 and re-open regardless of the ongoing risks. It doesn't look like the strategy will be as successful as the GOP hopes, as research indicates that Trump's approval rating is slipping in areas most affected by Covid-19. Some small businesses received just $1 in pandemic relief loans, while the Kushners, Wall Street, members of Congress and tons of other super wealthy members of the elite raked in millions. ICE says that intl. students whose universities are moving to online-only teaching in the fall will be banned from entering the country and forced to leave if they're already here. Army Spc.

Jeffrey Epstein's ex and confidante, Ghislaine Maxwell, is finally arrested. US Covid-19 cases reach a new record, despite Trump saying the virus is going to "sort of, just disappear." Aides in Trump's inner circle are divided about his re-election strategy, with some arguing he should focus on the pandemic while others push him to concentrate on the economy instead. Service member Vanessa Guillen disappeared from the Fort Hood military base two months ago, and the little details we do have about the ongoing investigation are disturbing to say the least. Covid-19 outbreaks at US meatpacking plants are purposefully being kept secret, with several officials refusing to speak about multiple employees testing positive. It's time to take out the trash!

Trump retweets a video of a MAGA head shouting "White Power," but then deletes it. Kayleigh McEnany claims Trump "did not hear that phrase" before retweeting it, but that he "stands for" the people in the video and is happy to see their "tremendous enthusiasm." Trump really wants us to believe that the pandemic is over and doesn't care how many lives he puts at risk while doing so. Siberia is experiencing an abnormally high number of forest fires as temperatures in the Arctic continue to surge. Kayleigh McEnany tries to gaslight you about Trump repealing the ACA, attempting to blame the Democrats for taking coverage away from millions amidst a global pandemic.

Instagram influencers won't stop spreading crazy misinformation about Covid-19. The Trump Admin. asks SCOTUS to strike down the ACA, a move which would leave as many as 23 million Americans without health insurance.

It seems like Trump might be dragging the entire GOP down with him. Tucker Carlson loses it completely, claiming all protesters should be charged as "domestic terrorists," and "put in shackles."

Trump is very good at drinking water and the GOP couldn't be happier to have such an alpha male as their leader.

Trump got scared before his little outing yesterday so he made DC police attack peaceful protesters.
