Matt Drudge of Drudge Report fame issued a rare public statement over the weekend after President Trump claimed his website’s readership was dropping.
“I gave up on Drudge (a really nice guy) long ago, as have many others,” the president tweeted Saturday. “People are dropping off like flies!” Mr. Trump and his supporters have noticed a shift in Mr. Drudge’s coverage of the president in the past year, accusing the longtime conservative must-read of adopting a leftist bent. Multiple conservative news aggregators, including Dan Bongino’s The Bongino Report, have since launched in an effort to scoop up Mr. Drudge’s readers.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer ordered on Monday the creation of a task force to investigate why the novel coronavirus has disproportionately affected the state’s African-American community“ The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted communities of color throughout our state,” Whitmer, a Democrat, said in her executive order. “For example, while African Americans represent 13.6 percent of our state’s population, they represent a staggering 40 percent of the deaths from COVID-19.” Whitmer’s task force will investigate and study strategies to address the disparity as well as the historical and systematic inequalities pertaining to race that have amplified the death rate in the

Illinois Democrats are demanding $41 billion from the federal government for coronavirus relief, including $10 billion for Illinois's cash-strapped and underfunded public pension plan. The most fiscally mismanaged state in the union that has criminally neglected funding its public pension fund for two decades wants Washington to pull its chestnuts out of the fire?
Certainly, states should get something. But what Illinois is asking for is shocking.
Chicago Sun-Times:
“I realize I’ve asked for a lot, but this is an unprecedented situation, and we face the reality that there likely will be additional, unanticipated costs that could result in future requests for assistance,”

Former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee, said he would undoubtedly select former first lady Michelle Obama to be his running mate, though he admitted she likely does not want to jump back into politics anytime soon. “I’d take her in a heartbeat,” Biden said in a Monday interview with CBS Pittsburgh when asked if he would add Obama to the ticket. “She’s brilliant. She knows the way around. She is a really fine woman. The Obamas are great friends.”

The U.S. will need to administer 20 million tests for the novel coronavirus each day by mid-summer in order to fully remobilize the economy in a safe fashion, according to new report from a Harvard panel of more than 45 experts in health, science and economics.

Former Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Scott Gottlieb has said that the country will need to initially conduct up to 3 million tests per week to reopen. A separate estimate from Harvard University researchers says the U.S. must conduct between 500,000 and 700,00

A fired-up John Oliver laid into right-wing media on Sunday, excoriating Rush Limbaugh and Fox News hosts for continuing to downplay the coronavirus pandemic--and blaming them for the recent string of protests against stay-at-home orders and social distancing measures. (Snip) It wasn't just Limbaugh who had Oliver incensed on Sunday. The host also criticized Fox News hosts for continuing to downplay the number of coronavirus deaths in America (a number that has now topped 41,000), citing numerous examples from the likes of Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters, and Tucker Carlson.

And we don’t have time for delay.”

President Donald Trump tweeted a campaign ad on Monday that contained a racially-charged attack on Joe Biden and features former President Barack Obama. In the 30-second ad, Obama and three other black men are watching a basketball game when Biden appears during a commercial break. The former vice president is talking–unclearly–about his time as a life guard and how children jump on his lap. As Biden struggles for words, one of the men looks at Obama, who says: ‘What?’(Snip) The video the president tweeted–which had more than 540,000 views in the hour after Trump posted it
