To politicsnation. Tonights story, pouring gasoline on a fire. President trump and his republicans allies are trying to roll back Health Care Coverage and toss Peaceful Protesters in jail to protect symbols of the past. The nation has set records for newly reported coronavirus cases three days in a row, the biggest spikes coming in Southern States that supported the president in 2016 with parts of texas and florida reversing their reopening plans.
