Oregon State Police had arrived to augment federal officers sent by Trump Trump admits he is undermining USPS to make it harder to vote by mail Biden raises $26m in 24 hours after announcing Harris 1,187 coronavirus deaths and 53,213 new cases reported yesterday Sign up to our First Thing newsletter 12.29pm BST One of the things that the Washington Post editorial board criticised Donald Trump for was his threats to defund the USPS, making it harder for the country to vote by mail for November’s election. CNN have a report this morning on the Pennsylvania election officials seeking to extend the deadlines for receiving mail-in ballots, citing the slowdown in mail. Pennsylvania officials said Thursday that they are willing to count mail-in ballots up to three days after the November general election, provided they are mailed by November 3, a significant change in a key swing state. “Ballots mailed by voters on or before 8:00 p.m. on Election Day will be counted if they are otherwise valid and received by the county boards of election on or before the third day following the election,” the Department of State said in a court filing Thursday. 12.16pm BST The Washington Post editorial board came out with some extremely strong words last night about the conduct of the president running up to November’s election. In a piece titled “Trump’s campaign to discredit the election is deeply dishonest and dangerous” they write: A decent, democratic president, genuinely concerned with honest elections and his people’s fundamental right to vote, would be touting improvements and offering assistance to make sure they continue through November. A desperate, demagogic president, behind in the polls, would sow confusion and conspiracy theories, trying to delegitimize in advance any result other than a victory for him. That is what Mr. Trump is doing. 12.07pm BST The failure to agree on a package to continue economic stimulus measures during the coronavirus pandemic is beginning to have an effect in the real world away from Capitol Hill. Millions of Americans will be left with lower unemployment insurance for at least a few more weeks as the Senate doesn’t reconvene until after 8 September. While the new unemployment insurance claims dipped under a million of the first time in 20 weeks yesterday, there’s no doubt the number of jobs out there are shrinking, and there’s bad news from the aviation industry this morning. Employment in the sector had already fallen from around 512,000 workers in March to about 380,000 in June, but now major US airlines have warned they will lay off tens of thousands of workers in October when the Cares Act payroll support program for the industry expires.

They have long been criticised for containing racist depictions. Fran Smith, a student who petitioned the university to cover-up the murals in 2017, told The Oregonian/Oregon Live that: Without the momentum of the Black Lives Matter movement and other racial justice movements behind it, I don’t think that the university would be making these sudden attempts to try to rectify its mistakes. We tried the context thing, and it was clear that it was creating, still, this unwelcoming, unsupportive and — quite frankly — exclusionary symbol to students. It wasn’t working to address the issues that we want. It maybe addresses it from one point of view, but for the entire community, it definitely was not. 11.44am BST Oregon State Police are leaving Portland after a two-week assignment to help protect the federal courthouse that has been the scene for 78 consecutive nights of Black Lives Matter protests against racial injustice in the city. State police had been sent to Portland on 30 July under an agreement between Gov. Kate Brown and the US Department of Homeland Security to try to curtail the clashes that had happened throughout the month protestors and federal officers ordered into the city by Donald Trump. 11.41am BST Good morning and welcome to today’s coverage of US politics and the ongoing coronavirus crisis. This was one of the key moments from yesterday’s press conference, when Shirish Dáte asked President Donald Trump to his face: “Do you regret all your lying?” Continue reading…
