Trump on his message to parents worried about the safety of their kids in public schools amid a pandemic: "Yeah, the schools should be opened. Schools should be opened. Kids want to go to schools. You're losing a lot of lives by keeping things closed."

We’ve gone from “It didn’t happen” to “Ok, there was a request” to “fake news!” to “Actually, there was a request, but nothing came of it” to “Trump hates McCain, so of course the White House tried to do something.” It’s hard to keep up

George W Bush enters the Washington National cathedral behind his father's casket. Seventeen years ago, the son gave a speech in this building memorializing those who had recently died in the 9/11 attacks. His father was there and comforted him as he took his seat.
