The Brazilian president is at it again: his latest crazy claim is that soccer players cannot get COVID. Since the beginning of the global pandemic, he has ignored the COVID crisis. As a result, Brazil has the highest COVID contagion rate in the world. More than 5,000 Brazilians have died from the coronavirus––that’s more than …

Californians are flocking to the beach as the state experiences a heat wave, defying the state-wide stay-at-home order. This is happening despite the fact that an overwhelming majority of Americans, 81%, say that lockdown restrictions should not be lifted if it means coronavirus will spread. President Trump sent a series of tweets urging citizens to …

Trump is apparently getting very upset about the media coverage of his disastrous COVID updates. He’s watching TV for seven hours straight, behaving even more erratically, and cutting calls with advisors short.

Unusually, Donald Trump is not seeing the “rally around the flag” effect. His approval ratings briefly rose, but his ratings have dropped to pre-coronavirus levels, largely as a result of his daily briefings. …

China is using misinformation and PR campaigns to rewrite the story of the novel coronavirus in order to make itself––wait for it––the hero. Although the country first tried to hide the outbreak, it is now flooding the world and its own people with information. Tons and tons of information. All of it, of course, nonsense. The …

The President of Brazil has repeatedly dismissed the novel coronavirus named COVID-19 as a “little flu,” and he has recently fired the health minister who urged him to do more to fight the pandemic. The country has currently reported about 1,500 deaths, but, based on current projections, the state of Sao Palo alone is projected …

Evidence is growing that Trump’s COVID response is political corruption.
