Where the rate of infection is low enough, a sincere effort should be made to put kids back in the classroom. The problem is there arent many places where its low enough. And right now, Top Trump Administration officials including Jared Kushner and the National Security adviser Robert Obrien are briefing the press on the new agreement between the uae and israel. President trump will address reporters himself at 5 30 eastern later today. But were going to begin at the white house where the president made explicit today what many had been speculating. Hes holding up a proposed stimulus deal he says in part because he does not want to fund the Postal Service and help improve the chances of making mailin voting feasible. You know, theres nothing wrong with getting out and voting. You get out and vote. They voted during world war i and world war ii.
