With over 200 thousand Americans dead and millions more unemployed, the United States' response to the pandemic is one of the most consequential issues facing voters at the ballot box this election.

While President Donald Trump continues to paint a rosy picture of the progress made in containing the virus, the U.S. shattered its single-day record of new cases on Friday and hospitalizations have skyrocketed from seven percent to 15 percent in just three days.


Nevertheless, Trump has insisted for 36 of the past 54 days that the U.S. is "rounding the turn" on the virus. He continues to hold rallies with thousands of supporters, even as his own White House sees internal infections yet again.

On Twitter, the President scorned the media for not covering the virus as positively as he'd prefer, and asserted that expansive coverage of the worsening conditions should be a violation of election law.

Despite the relevance of the virus to everyday Americans, Trump was insisting that coverage of it was unfair to him.






Trump's tweet hardly did him any favors with only eight days to go before the election that decides whether or not he'll become a two term President.



The presidential election is on November third, but early voting is underway in at least 40 states.

Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
