Trump on 200K COVID-19 deaths: 'It's a shame'

President Trump on Tuesday offered his first reaction to the United States surpassing 200,000 deaths from COVID-19, telling reporters it was "a shame" but that it could have been worse.
"I think it’s a shame. I think if we didn’t do it properly and do it right you’d have 2.5 million deaths," he told reporters.
Trump initially ignored a question about why he hadn't said anything about the grim milestone before answering the same question from another reporter. He pointed to his decision to limit travel into the country from China and Europe.
"But it’s a horrible thing. Should have never, ever happened," Trump said. "China let this happen, and just remember that."
Experts have credited the restrictions on travel from China in late January with buying the U.S. more time to respond, though the decision to block travel from Europe came in mid-March, after the virus had likely spread throughout the country.
The United States earlier Tuesday recorded 20…

Setting the record straight about Amy Barrett's Catholic faith

In Politico, Massimo Faggioli says that if Judge Amy Barrett is nominated to the Supreme Court, senators ought to look into her religious beliefs and affiliations, even in ways that might seem intrusive. It is a thoroughly dishonest op-ed, and the dishonesty starts in the third sentence: “Over the past several days, her backers have been arguing that public questions about her religious beliefs should be off limits — and that it’s anti-Catholic for Democrats even to raise questions about them, as Sen. Dianne Feinstein did in Barrett’s confirmation hearings the United States Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit in 2017.” He goes on to say that there’s nothing anti-Catholic about asking questions about Barrett’s beliefs.
What actually caused objections — and not just from conservatives — was Feinstein’s sneering comment to Barrett that “the dogma lives loudly within you.” Feinstein’s office went on to object to Barrett for saying, e.g., that Christians should be mindful of their role in …

Trump plans to pick Amy Coney Barrett to replace Ginsburg

President Trump will nominate Judge Amy Coney Barrett to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court on Saturday barring any last second change, multiple people familiar with the process confirmed.
Two sources with knowledge of the process said that Barrett is the pick, barring any change of Trump’s mind before Saturday evening’s announcement in the White House Rose Garden.
A Republican official said Trump began informing allies on Capitol Hill of his intention to nominate Barrett, a judge on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Barrett is the favorite choice of conservative Christians who hope to overturn the landmark decision in Roe v. Wade establishing a woman’s right to an abortion, and has strong support from conservative GOP senators, including her home-state senator, Mike Braun (R) of Indiana.
“He’s made his decision and it’s Barrett,” said the official.
Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews Friday evening that he has made his decision in his “own mind” but declined to con…

Air Force Two returns to New Hampshire airport after striking bird

Air Force Two was forced to turn around shortly after taking off from New Hampshire after striking a bird, a White House official said Tuesday.
The plane returned to Manchester Airport out of an abundance of caution, the official said. Vice President Pence and staff traveling with him were expected to return to Washington, D.C., on a cargo plane.
Pence was in the Granite State for a campaign rally at Laconia Airport on Tuesday afternoon. The Trump campaign has eyed New Hampshire as one of just a few states it could flip from blue to red in November.
Tuesday's mechanical issue is the latest travel snafu the vice president has had since he was added to the GOP ticket in 2016.
His campaign plane slid off the runway at Laguardia Airport in New York City while he was on the trail in 2016. The vice president and others on board were not injured.
The vice president's campaign bus was also involved in a minor accident in late July during a tour of Pennsylvania. An official characterized i…

Crenshaw looms large as Democrats look to flip 2nd District seat

Democrats hoping to turn Texas blue see a tempting — if formidable — target in freshman Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R).
Crenshaw’s seat is one of several in Texas Democrats are contesting this cycle, and the party is bullish that the 2nd District — and the state at large — are in play. But while several other Democratic House contenders are either competing for open seats or in districts with lesser-known incumbents, the party could face headwinds trying to unseat a rising GOP star in Crenshaw, who has been cast as a future Republican thought leader.
On paper, the 2nd District is similar to other areas where Democrats saw massive gains in the 2018 midterms. It has a high number of college graduates, it includes parts of a major city — Houston — and the surrounding suburbs and about 44 percent of adults there are either Black or Hispanic, two demographics that lean Democratic.
But in 2018, as Democrats captured the House, they lost an open race to Crenshaw by more than 7 points. And the former Na…
