“Kayleigh McEnany, the White House press secretary, pressed by reporters, offered no evidence to back up the president’s insinuations. Instead, she essentially justified them by saying that Mr. Scarborough had been critical of Mr. Trump.” https://t.co/X6n0Vf07Mk

CPD COVID-19
“Chicago police announced Tuesday 10 more cases of COVID-19 within the department, bringing the total number of cases to 548,” the Sun-Times reports.
“Of the confirmed cases, 519 are officers and 29 are civilian employees, police said. One officer who tested positive for the coronavirus is awaiting confirmation through the department’s medical section. The department announced the death of a third officer from complications of the coronavirus on April 17.”
Perhaps this has been reported and I’ve missed it, but are police officers catching the COVID from the public or from themselves? Assignment Desk, activate!

News from/about Elvia Malagón, the reporter on that story:
Hello world, I'm shifting my focus to social justice/the wage gap as part of my new reporting role for the Sun-Times. Feeling very lucky to get this opportunity in the middle of a pandemic. I will try to repay the universe by trying to do good work.https://t.co/ow3r93vEuE

Trivia: Elvia is an alum of the Lakeland, Florida Ledger, as am I, though I’ve never met her and she came way after me.

A sampling of the delight and disgust you can find @BeachwoodReport.
Trump has now turned dishonest subtext about California into a flat lie, saying, "People that aren't citizens, illegals — anybody that walks in California is going to get a ballot." Ballots are being sent to registered voters, not anybody; non-citizens can't vote.
