As Trump Undercuts Aid Talks, White House Says Extra Jobless Benefits Will Lapse

preferred a narrower plan.
Trump is depressed and wants company.

Trump Plays on Racist Fears of Terrorized Suburbs to Court White Voters
President Trump painted a false picture of suburbs under siege, saying he
was protecting them from the perils of low-income housing, as he seeks to
win over white voters who were key to his 2016 victory.
The suburban dream is not a community.
It seems cheaper because it needs fewer services found in cities.

Reopening Schools: Senator Patty Murray Says Congress Needs to Step Up
She isn’t optimistic that Congress will help schools reopen safely in the
fall: “There’s going to be a lot of parents in tears.”
Reopening schools with contact classes is a dream for the next few years.
One form or another of correspondence education is all there will be.
Home schooling is known to work.
The plant will continue to cost.

Titans of Tech Testify in Their Trust-Me Suits
It’s a tongue twister, but also a strategy. Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg,
Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai appeared before Congress and dressed the part.
These birds are not as advertised.
They are passengers on the ship of dreams.
They own some of the stock.

Memers Have a New Campaign Aimed at Getting Trump Out of Office
Meme 2020, the social media collective that supported Michael Bloomberg’s

Be counted. How is trivial.

The former police chief in Orlando, Fla., Ms. Demings has emerged as a
finalist to be Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s running mate. A review of her record
shows a complicated history with episodes involving police misconduct.
Biden must name a person.
He will have my vote.
A police personality is not a plus for me.

Joseph Kernan, Vietnam P.O.W. and Indiana Governor, Dies at 74
He spent 11 months in a North Vietnamese prison after his plane was downed.

The Vietnam campaign was a war of choice.
It was not my choice.

Some people need more.

As $600 Unemployment Benefit Expires, Many Are in Jeopardy
A supplement to unemployment benefits is at an end, and Congress is
deadlocked over new aid. For some, that means hunger, evictions or
bankruptcies.
Bankruptcy often leads to self destruction.
12
Divided and Demoralized on Virus Aid, Republicans Ask, ‘What’s in the Bill?’
Senators in the party are “all over the lot” on the pandemic bill as
jobless benefits run out and the fate of any legislative deal remains
uncertain.
The problem is existential for the Republican party.
The costs will be met with them or without them.

U.S. Will Cut 12,000 Forces in Germany
Defense Department officials say the redeployments will enhance American
security and its ability to respond to threats. Allies and some in Congress
see it as punishment for Germany.
Putin will like the policy.
16
Trump Did Not Ask Putin About Russia's Bounties on U.S. Troops
Amid no new signs of investigative developments, the president also said
for the first time that he would have acted had he known about an earlier
C.I.A. assessment.
Troops are an expendable.

What's The Latest on Joe Biden's Vice Presidential Timeline
The presumptive nominee rolls out a racial justice plan: This is your
politics tip sheet.
I do not care who Biden chooses.
Almost any skilled politician would be good.

Michigan Threatens to Slip From Trump as He Goes Quiet on Airwaves
The president has started spending more money on ads in much smaller
Electoral College prizes like Iowa and Nevada, and in recent days his
campaign stopped buying ads in Michigan entirely.
The RNC has read the tea leaves.

Are the Polls Missing Republican Voters?
Registered Republicans were actually more likely than registered Democrats
to respond to the Times/Siena survey.
The Republican voters are counted.

it.
Looking good wins elections.
