That day there were 62,000 reported deaths and yet: Trump Says The U.S. Is Past Its Peak On New Coronavirus Cases President Trump on Wednesday said that recent data suggest that the United States has made it through the worst of new coronavirus cases, as he seeks to reopen the pandemic-beaten national economy. “The data suggests that nationwide, we have passed the peak of new cases. Hopefully that will continue, and we will continue to make great progress,” Trump said in the White House Rose Garden at the daily coronavirus task force briefing. The task force did not share the data they used to reach that assessment. Trump said that more than 3 million tests for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, had been completed and that researchers were on the verge of delivering an antibody test to determine whether a person has previously been infected with the virus. He also said he would announce his path to reopening some states ahead of May 1. “These developments have put us in a strong position to finalize guidelines for states reopening,” he said.

Nicaraguan lawyer and diplomat Carlos Argüello Gómez speaks to The Grayzone about his case against the German government for its facilitation of Israel’s genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip, its potentially historic implications, and its similarities to the successful case he argued for the ICJ in 1986 which brought massive penalties against the United States for its illegal dirty war on Nicaragua at the time.

Mom, Dad, we just wanted to assure you that your trust-fund son’s transplant was a success.

We weren’t too concerned—transplants to Brooklyn have a 98 percent success rate—but there can always be complications.

A transplant can reject its new host city in the event of a few conditions:

• Doorman deficiency
• Pre-existing neighborhood culture
• Persistent small businesses

Just make sure to monitor his rent levels closely. If all’s well, they should continue to climb indefinitely.

The procedure was minimally invasive, just a small incision in the heart of the neighborhood. We see thousands of cases like this every month, so you really have nothing to worry about. Plus, we made all the necessary preparations to ensure a smooth integration:

Readings from the Trump Bible The Good Liars seem actually to have sold a couple of Trump Bibles to MAGA suckers. Huffington Post: A pair of pranksters gave fans of Donald Trump a look at what a bible true to the former president might really contain. “Thou shalt put no other person above Trump,” Davram Stiefler of The Good Liars read to MAGA fans waiting outside a recent Trump event. “Thou shalt commit adultery,” read Jason Selvig, the other half other comedic duo. Trump last month began hawking a “God Bless The USA Bible” ― which includes the Bible, lyrics to “God Bless The USA,” and copies of documents such as the Declaration of Independence ― to fans for $59.99.  “It’s a grift, right?” Stiefler said as he attempted to sell their version of the book for a much-reduced price of $10.  And in the fullness of time, the people were grifted and there was much rejoicing. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● For The Win, 5th Edition is ready for download.

Move over O.J. A trial like no one’s ever seen. Hush. It’s not about money. The Donald Trump trial that begins jury selection in Manhattan today is about what elevates payments funneled to a porn star through a shall company to the level of felony. A once-skeptical Mark Joseph Stern explains at Slate, “The falsification of business records is, by itself, a misdemeanor under New York law, but it’s a felony when it’s done with the ‘intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof.’” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s pretrial briefing erased Stern’s doubts left over from the initial indictment. Stern writes: Bragg has argued, convincingly, that the former president intended to violate at least two election laws—one state, one federal. First, Bragg asserted that Trump and Cohen ran afoul of the Federal Election Campaign Act by making unlawful campaign contributions (in the form of a payoff) at the direction of a candidate (that is, Trump).
