If it’s unsafe to have a Republican National Convention in Jacksonvillle, it’s unsafe for our children, teachers, and faculty members to return to school. @realDonaldTrump @BetsyDeVosED

Top WH officials have acknowledged in the last week that even some of the most loyal Trump supporters would not attend a rally or big event until there is vaccine. That reality sunk in enough to cancel convention events.

So Trump just cancelled the Republican National Convention in Jacksonville, Florida because the coronavirus pandemic is too dangerous for a bunch of rich old white dude politicians but his administration is on track to let the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency expire in two days.

Nice to see Trump finally taking on the Covid 19 pandemic. At his briefing, he brought in the great epidemiologist Mariano Rivera.

Trump said he was done with any sport where players kneel.
He also said he was going to throw out the first pitch at a Yankees game in August.

I predict this will not end well for Barr.
If it is allowed to end, that is.

So @BorisJohnson still says he’s building a bridge to N Ireland. He isn’t. What he’s actually building are border control posts at N Ireland ports for goods to and from Britain. Does he think we came up Beaufort’s Dyke in a bubble? Absolute bluffer. https://t.co/TSAJcwG2zA
