Gov. Roy Cooper Was Right

Gov. Cooper made a tough decision, but it was clearly the right call. If the President had been following facts, instead of politics, he would have made the right decision in the first place. In June, Democratic North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper refused to cave to President Trump’s demands and insisted an in-person Republican National…

Democratic Governors Promote Mask Wearing While GOP Governors Put American Lives At Risk

In a New York Times op-ed yesterday, Michigan Gov.

Democratic governors started instituting mask…

ICYMI: Doctors Slam Mike Parson’s Absurd Comments on Children Getting COVID-19

Yesterday on CNN, doctors pushed back against GOP Missouri Gov.

“Get Over It”: Missouri Gov. Mike Parson Pilloried For Saying Vulnerable Children Will Be Totally Fine When They Catch COVID-19 At School

On Friday, Republican Missouri Gov. Mike Parson said he expects children will contract COVID-19 when he sends them back to school, but they’ll just “get over it.” Parson’s cavalier attitude towards COVID-19 is dangerous – public health officials have cautioned younger people spread the virus just as much as older adults, and children have been…
