So when pressed about not wearing his mask, Pence essentially revealed that he, Trump and the White House staff are effectively getting tested daily? Cool, cool, cool.

Have to imagine this is happening a lot.
State officials have stopped releasing the list of coronavirus deaths being compiled by Florida’s medical examiners, which has at times shown a higher death toll than the state’s published count.The list had previously been released in real time by the state Medical Examiners Commission. But earlier this month, after the Tampa Bay Times reported that the medical examiners’ death count was 10 percent higher than the figure released by the Florida Department of Health, state officials said the list needed to be reviewed and possibly redacted.Dr. Stephen Nelson, the chairman of the state Medical Examiners Commission, said the change in policy came after the state health department intervened.

We've all been there I'm sure. First, one of those sleepless nights, then a hard day at work, and then on top of everything you get interviewed on a major cable network. Comes a point in the day that coffee doesn't cut it any more.

The White House is preventing Dr. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, from testifying before the House next week, a spokesman for the House Appropriations Committee said on Friday.Top Democrats on the panel had wanted Dr. Fauci to testify as part of an in-person hearing led by Representative Rosa DeLauro, Democrat of Connecticut, who oversees the subcommittee responsible for funding health, labor and education agencies and programs. But when the committee asked for Dr. Fauci to appear, the Trump administration denied the request and the committee was told by an administration official that it was because of the White House, according to Evan Hollander, a spokesman for the House Appropriations Committee.

At the first official briefing by a White House press secretary in 417 days, Kayleigh McEnany promised journalists, "I will never lie to you."
McEnany proceeded to say a bunch of things that weren't true.
Beginning with "I will never lie to you." I'm not even sure why she'd feel it was worth saying that--who is she speaking to? Not anyone in the room, and not to herself.

In this essay on "American leadership," Stacey Abrams manages to squeeze in anti-communism and anti-China nationalism & whitewash pretty much the entirety of US empire.
