The White House has learned nothing from COVID.

National threats require national leadership. It's been 6 months without a national strategy on testing or mask mandate.

Only the federal government has the power to go to war with COVID.

They are failing and the nation suffers.

Overheard At @FoxFriendsFirst Graphics

DUDE1: We need Trump's quote accepting the nomination
DUDE2: OK. He said, "I PROFOUNDLY accept this nomination for president of the United States"
D1: He said, "profoundly"?!
D2: Yeah, dude
D1: That makes no sense
D2: I'll make it "PROUDLY" pic.twitter.com/HAksHAA0qa

As we get ready to mark #MOW2020, our nation is in anguish after yet another shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, by a police officer.

I stand in solidarity with the peaceful protesters demanding police reform, justice & racial equality.

I'm glad Joe's people never listen to them, they've done everything right, the ads & tweets they were pushing last night, their faces on TVs, centering Covid knowing Trump would ignore it. & Trump's people so lazy couldn't even gear their attacks at Joe, it's all Bernie-adjacent.

Law and Order chtick

And the biggest problem with running as the “law & order” candidate when you in charge of the country is that Trump owns the chaos. Of all the slogans and promises Trump has made, he is seen as falling short the most on “restoring law and order to the country.” pic.twitter.com/AMAO11aGMF

naturalization ceremony?

Trump has spent his entire political career demonizing immigrants. He’s caged migrant babies at the border. He’s used fear of “caravans” as a political prop.

Watching him preside over a naturalization ceremony last night was like watching a fox bless a henhouse.
