West Wing Reads The Media Said Trump Didn’t Have a COVID Testing Strategy. The Media Was Wrong.

The Media Said Trump Didn’t Have a COVID Testing Strategy. The Media Was Wrong. “The story of how the country went from nothing to more than half-a-million COVID tests on some days is a tale of inspired private–public cooperation,” Rich Lowry writes for National Review. “The media often insisted that there was no testing plan, simply because the plan wasn’t centralized enough, a line of attack pursued by Democrats as well.” Click here to read more. “It's quite clear that City of Seattle elected officials are lacking the political will to enforce the rule of law. And this is the closest I've seen since being a 20-year professional in public safety service of our country becoming a lawless state,” Seattle Police Officers Guild President Mike Solan warns. Read more from Sam Dorman in Fox News. Endless lockdowns hurt small businesses—and they may hit minority-owned businesses the hardest. “From February to April, the number of active black business owners fell 41% . . . If Covid-19 cases keep rising in the weeks to come, city and state leaders might reimpose a strict lockdown. They should bear in mind who’d be harmed most by the ensuing economic destruction,” The Wall Street Journal editorial board writes.  “Whether ‘Defund the Police’ actually means dismantling police departments, as it appears to in Minneapolis, or is an attempt to gaslight conservatives while neutering law enforcement, one thing is certain: The party yelling to ‘defund the police’ is the same one that desperately wants to disarm the citizenry,” Kylee Zempel writes for The Federalist.

Building the Movement: America’s Youth Celebrate 100 Years of Women’s Suffrage Call for Submissions

Office of the First Lady FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 15, 2020 Building the Movement: America’s Youth Celebrate 100 Years of Women’s Suffrage Call for Submissions   First Lady Melania Trump is excited to announce Building the Movement: America’s Youth Celebrate 100 Years of Women’s Suffrage, an exhibit honoring the centennial anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment, which gave American women the right to vote. The exhibit will launch this August and will showcase artwork by young Americans depicting this historic milestone. To create this exhibit, the First Lady is asking students across the United States and its territories for submissions depicting individuals, objects, and events representing the women’s suffrage movement. Their artwork will appear alongside images of women’s suffrage parades, marches, and gatherings that took place at or around the White House. “As we celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the 19thAmendment, it’s important to include our children in the conversation so they can learn and understand the history behind the women’s suffrage movement” said First Lady Melania Trump. “For decades, women leaders lobbied, marched, and protested for equality and their right to vote in the United States. It is my hope that this project will both support and expand the important conversations taking place on equality and the impact of peaceful protests, while encouraging children to engage in the history behind this consequential movement in their own home state.” The White House is encouraging submissions from students in grades 3-12, and will select one artwork to be included in the exhibit from each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, America Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. All applicants will receive a thank you note signed by the First Lady, thanking them for their participation in this special exhibit honoring the women's suffrage movement. Submission applications can be found HERE. Entries must be received by July 6, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. ET. To be considered, artwork must meet the following requirements: Two-dimensional, created on an 8”x 8” piece of paper. To submit, parents and guardians are asked to upload an image of your child’s artwork which can be a simple snapshot taken with a camera or a cell phone. Winners will be asked to send their original artwork via mail at a later date.   Include a statement (up to 300 characters) about the artwork and how it represents women’s suffrage.   Be based on one of the following categories: Suffragists, Suffrage Symbols, or Suffrage Events. Suffragists: Portray a suffragist who inspires you. Many brave individuals dedicated themselves to fighting for women’s right to vote. Depict one of the well-known woman from the national movement or someone who did work in your state/territory. Suffrage Symbols: Create your own button, ribbon, or sign. Activists and supporters wore buttons with messages such as “Votes for Women” or carried signs with statements to President Wilson: “Mr. President: How Long Must Women Wait for Liberty?” Suffrage Events: Depict a historic march, protest, or other event related to the women’s suffrage movement. This can be a national happening or something from your state/territory. To learn more about the women’s suffrage movement, please visit the Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commission website and review their state toolkits for more information on what happened in your state! This exhibit is presented by the Office of the Curator in partnership with the Office of the First Lady.

Presidential Message on Men’s Health Week, 2020

Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 15, 2020 Presidential Message on Men’s Health Week, 2020   Each year, in the week leading up to Father’s Day, our Nation recognizes Men’s Health Week to raise awareness of the diseases and illnesses that affect America’s men.  By better understanding the unique risk factors that men face, we can promote healthier lifestyles and implement more effective prevention and treatment options for all men. Over the past several months, the coronavirus has posed a significant health risk to all Americans.  Unfortunately, men are less likely to visit or consult with a medical provider when faced with a medical issue or concern, increasing the chances of complications with any illness, including the coronavirus, that could be avoided with early detection and treatment.  Accordingly, it is critical that men who show symptoms of the coronavirus, including shortness of breath, cough, fever, aches, or chills, immediately contact their doctor or healthcare provider.  Doing so will ensure that they receive the care they need and help prevent the spread of this disease. The coronavirus pandemic has also highlighted the challenges to mental health that many Americans face, made worse by isolation, social distancing, and uncertainty.  In general, stigma about mental illness, such as depression, has kept countless individuals from getting the help they need.  Men in particular are less likely than women to seek treatment for mental health-related concerns.  The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act has enhanced access to health care and treatment services for all health conditions, including mental illness, while also reducing the likelihood of transmission of diseases like coronavirus by expanding telehealth coverage for the duration of this public health emergency.  This enables those in need to get care and support from the comfort and safety of their own homes. This week, as we encourage America’s men to incorporate better health practices into their daily routines, we also recognize the countless Americans who help improve the health and well-being of our Nation.  Together, we will build a healthier, happier, and stronger America.

Presidential Message on World Blood Donor Day, 2020

Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 14, 2020 Presidential Message on World Blood Donor Day, 2020 Every 2 seconds, someone in the United States is in need of a blood transfusion.  On World Blood Donor Day, we thank those individuals who selflessly donate blood to help thousands of hospitals and medical care facilities meet the needs of their patients. Over the past several months, the hardships of the coronavirus have lowered our country’s blood and platelet supply to critical levels, and the need to donate blood has never been more acute.  With more than 30,000 blood drives canceled since mid-March, those battling severe illnesses or those involved in life-threatening accidents could be in particular danger of not being able to receive the vital care they need.  Many of our Nation’s blood banks are operating with depleted stocks, and the majority of them rarely have on hand more than a single day’s supply of Type O blood, which is critical because it can be used to meet the blood needs of any patient.  During this challenging time, let us commit to raising awareness of the lifesaving act of donating blood. I urge all Americans who are healthy and willing to donate blood to do so at a local donation center.  Organizations like the American Red Cross and other blood banks have implemented special protocols to protect donors from possible infection.  Your blood donations can help minimize the harm inflicted by the coronavirus on our country. Today, the First Lady and I send our sincerest gratitude to both blood donors and those countless individuals who help facilitate donations.  These dedicated employees, extraordinary volunteers, and compassionate individuals represent the very best of the American spirit, and our Nation is grateful for your contributions to America’s health and well-being.

Presidential Message on the 245th Birthday of the United States Army

Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 14, 2020  Presidential Message on the 245th Birthday of the United States Army On this day in 1775, the Second Continental Congress established the Continental Army to fight for our Nation’s independence.  In the 245 years since, the United States Army has helped defend our freedom all over the world and has made countless contributions to our Nation’s security and the American way of life.  Today, we recognize the United States Army for its many achievements and pay tribute to all those who have served in America’s oldest military branch. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the conclusion of World War II—a monumental struggle between the forces of freedom and tyranny.  In both the European and Pacific Theaters, the United States Army was critical to the success of the Allied Forces.  The historic triumph came at a somber price, as the Army bore the brunt of the fighting—and human cost—of our Nation’s contribution to victory in the war.  As we celebrate the United States Army’s incredible accomplishments, we also pause to remember those Soldiers who laid down their lives to defend our freedom and protect their fellow Americans. As our Nation continues to face the threat of the coronavirus pandemic, we acknowledge the important role the Army has played in the all-of-America response effort.  The United States Army, Army National Guard, and Army Reserve Soldiers helped mount a nationwide response to this crisis that truly embodies their motto of “This We’ll Defend.”  In New York, the United States Army Corps of Engineers created and converted alternate care facilities, providing extra space for thousands of patients.  In Washington State, Army healthcare professionals deployed to provide medical support against the emergent virus.  And, in Maryland, researchers with the United States Army Medical Research and Development Command have worked tirelessly to develop coronavirus countermeasures.  From coast to coast, the incredible support of our Soldiers reminds us that no fighting force rivals that of the United States of America. This year, we celebrate our brave Soldiers—active, guard, and reserve, past and present—who are willing to put themselves in harm’s way and make the ultimate sacrifice for our country during times of both war and peace.  As Commander in Chief, I join a grateful Nation in wishing the United States Army a happy 245th birthday.
