The u. S. Continues to lead the world by a large margin, at least on the coronavirus front. Donald trump today called his hometown, new york city, a hell hole. This may have something to do with that. The words black lives matter in yellow paint on fifth avenue in front of trump tower. On the political front, the president s push to get back into school is sinking in among families who are debating the safety of it depending on where they liv teachers as well. On the judicial front, the president s closely guarded finances were at the center of two Supreme Court rulings today, decisions that lay down firm markers on the scope and limits of executive power, and they do force trump to extend his battle to keep that information private.

The court voted 72 in both cases with trump appointees gorsuch and kavanaugh joining the sevenvote majority. The opinions for both cases were written by the chief, john roberts, who said, quote, no citizen, not even the president , is categorically above the common duty to produce evidence when called upon in a criminal proceeding. The white house tried to portray the decisions as a victory for the president , but he fel
