"You dumb bastards" was the epithet hurled by Donald Trump yesterday at those enemies of the people in the news media, specifically CNN, who annoy him by continuing to report on the worst public health disaster in a century. While Trump keeps repeating that the pandemic is almost over, and other such absurd lies, it is in fact sickening more of us and taking more lives.

In her eloquent rebuttal today, CNN anchor Briana Keilar points out that Americans need to know what is happening as coronavirus cuts down their families, friends, and communities. They need to see their suffering reflected, despite Trump's sociopathic refusal to acknowledge the reality and deal with it. They need to grieve and honor the 220,417 dead, and counting...

The ruin wrought by Trump's numb incompetence has already made you angry, no doubt. This will make you angrier.
