It's Tuesday, July 21st. I'm Achila Hughes.

And I'm Gideon Ressetek and this is what the day where we are encouraging Mark Zuckerberg to keep it up with the sunscreen.

I had no idea that's what was happening in that photo. I thought it was just him showing off the big old booty cheeks

and doing like a my-mroutine, but I guess that was protection.

Yeah, he's just a booty influencer now.

On Today's show, an update on schools, new data on vaccines, and millions of Americans are turning to food stamps, then some headlines.

But first the latest. And we'll begin in DC where President Trump says he's bringing back daily coronavirus briefings starting today.

Yay.

Yes. So the stated reason that Trump gave for bringing these back is that A, the ratings were very good. That was an important

cell from him. And B, there's more to talk about now on the advancement of various vaccines and therapeutics, a topic that we're going to get into later in the show.

But as we all remember, the briefings ended in April and their return is being read as an acknowledgement that Trump's current strategy of

ignoring the pandemic and leaving it to the States just isn't working. Surprise, surprise.

Plus, it's deeply, deeply damaging to him politically according to all the polling data that is available.

And to that end too, Trump posted a tweet with him wearing a mask and calling it quote patriotic.

So there definitely appears to be some shoddy attempts at men in black memory racing going on.

And back in March and April, these briefings usually featured experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci of the NIH talking, other folks from that task force.

And then Trump would often derail them, spew some incorrect information, and treat it like a glorified replacement for political rallies,

culminating in that infamous line about ingesting disinfectants.

Yeah, I guess that research didn't pan out just like the hydroxychloroquine thing.

We're waiting for more findings for sure. But at the time, there was this conversation among news networks about whether they should grant air time to the president to deliver these briefings.

We can see that happening again now, depending on what form they take.

And then another kind of interesting thing here is that Trump stopped giving these because they seem to hurt him with all the crazy things he'd say.
