With Tweets, Videos and Rhetoric, Trump Pushes Anew to Divide Americans by Race
President Trump is leaning hard into his decades-long habit of falsely
portraying some black Americans as dangerous or lawless. And he is doing it
during one of the most tumultuous periods in decades.
It has worked before.
But not that time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Manson

A.O.C.’s Digital Juggernaut
The congresswoman is vastly outspending her fellow House members, and even
most senators, online.
She won her primary perhaps.
There are no results.

Companies Criticize Visa Suspensions, but Impact May Be Muted for Now
President Trump’s executive order came at a time when hiring has slowed,
and many U.S. consulates are not conducting interviews for temporary green
cards.
Republican infighting pleases me.

Fauci, Citing ‘Disturbing Surge,’ Tells Congress the Virus Is Not Under Control
The testimony of the nation’s top infectious disease expert countered
President Trump’s upbeat assessment, describing a “mixed bag” of some
bright spots amid worrying trends and unknowns.
Fauci is doing his job.

Trump Travels to Arizona to Boast About Wall and Press Immigration Issue
He spoke later at a meeting of young conservatives in Phoenix.
Trump continues to get his feet in his mouth.

Trump Family Asks Court to Stop Publication of Tell-All by Mary Trump
President Trump has said Mary L. Trump signed a nondisclosure agreement in
connection with a court case two decades ago related to the estate of Fred
Trump Sr., the president’s father and her grandfather.
Donald Trump is hopeless.
The book will be sold to the public.

Karen Bass, Leading Voice in Policing Debate, Is Under Consideration for V.P.
Ms. Bass, the chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, has been in
touch with advisers to Joseph R. Biden Jr. who have been tasked with
screening candidates for the vice presidency.
The 2020 election is about small "s" socialism.
Governance should not drive collections of people to self destruction.
I need better words for the philosophy of government.
The practice of policing will change.
Racism will be disarmed.
The methods have not been discovered or developed.

Warren and Booker Press Meatpackers on Exports to China
Senators Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker questioned how companies could
warn of pandemic shortages while exporting record amounts of pork to China.
There is probably nothing newly nefarious in the meat industry.
China has lost much of its pork production.
US current processing costs are up and US consumption is down.
The meatpackers are getting the best price they can.

Roger Stone Sentencing Was Politicized, Prosecutor Plans to Testify
The prosecutor’s supervisor said that the case was being treated
differently because of the defendant’s relationship with the president,
according to planned testimony.
The attorney general is trying to clean the Trump record.
The facts are not respected.

Second-Guessing Our Poll? First, Take a Look at How It Works
One small favor: If you have a problem with how we did the survey, say so
now, before we show the results.
Nate Cohn is a statistical odds maker. His interest is a correct result.
He is not surprised.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/24/us/politics/trump-biden-poll-nyt-upshot-siena-college.html
14% for Biden.

Ahead of Trump Visit, Church Makes Unproven Claim of Virus-Killing Technology

Trump does not perform miracles.

Who Will Face Mitch McConnell in November?
Several states are holding primaries, and virus cases are surging. This is
your morning tip sheet.
Ms. McGrath seems to have the win. Results in a few days.

Pompeo’s Human Rights Panel Could Hurt L.G.B.T. and Women’s Rights, Critics Say
Human rights observers warn the document could be a tool to advance Mr.
Pompeo’s religious beliefs and political aspirations, and not women’s and
L.G.B.T.Q. rights.
The worry seems to be well founded.
15
Senate Democrats Plan to Block G.O.P. Police Bill, Stalling Overhaul
Calling Republicans’ legislation “woefully inadequate,” Democrats urged
Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, to negotiate a new, more
expansive bill both parties could support.
The senate Democrats are behaving properly.
16
What's the Kerner Commission Report?
The Kerner commission left scant doubt that it regarded white racism as the
tinder igniting the 1960s riots.
I remember.

Kentucky and N.Y. Primary Election Day: What to Watch for Today
There are competitive House races in New York, and Charles Booker faces Amy

How Joe Biden Is Catching Up to the Trump Money ‘Juggernaut’
In May, Mr. Biden passed President Trump in fund-raising for the first
time. A surge in donations has helped cut into the president’s financial
advantage.
Some money is necessary.

Qualified Immunity Protection for Police Emerges as Flash Point Amid Protests
The Supreme Court developed the doctrine that serves as a shield for
officers. A half-century later, it is at the center of the debate over
policing.
Qualified immunity will fail as a doctrine.
I do not know how liability will be limited.
Probably police should not be habitually armed.
Officers on patrol should have great insurance.
Armed response should be the exception.
