NYC Sets Up More COVID Checkpoints Around The City
Source: Pacific Press / Getty In the early days of the Coronavirus outbreak, New York found itself as the epicenter of the pandemic as the virus spread like unwanted mayonnaise throughout the state and city with seemingly no end in sight. After initiating a long shutdown and quarantine period, the Big Apple seems to finally have the outbreak under control and is doing everything they can to keep it that way as the city reopens and residents try to get back to “normal.” To keep the infection rate as low as it’s been in recent weeks, NYMAG is reporting that Mayor Bill de Blasio is setting up new checkpoints for people coming in from 35 states where the COVID-19 virus is raging out of control. Good move, Mr. Mayor. “If you come here, you must quarantine,” de Blasio said on W...

Source: Michael B. Thomas / Getty Cori Bush and her rise to political prominence came with some hardships but despite the barriers, she persisted and will soon make history. Bush will become the first Black woman to represent the state of Missouri in the United States Congress after defeating an incumbent figure whose family held the position for over half a century.

Bush, who is also a nurse...

Joe Biden Flexes Increase Of Campaign Support With Massive Ad Buy Across 15 States
Source: J. Scott Applewhite/CNP/startraksphoto.com / WENN Joe Biden has been relatively quiet over the last few months, but it seems that after an influx of support he plans to change that for the final three months of the 2020 Presidential election run. According to the New York Times, Joe Biden‘s campaign announced a $280 million fall advertising blitz on Wednesday (Aug 5), outlining plans for $220 million in television and $60 million in digital ads across 15 states in the lead-up to the November election. The ad reservation, which will begin on Sept. 1, is by far the biggest of the 2020 race by either campaign and is a sign of the swift turnabout in Mr. Biden’s finances, as both small and large donors have rallied behind him since he became the presumptive Democratic nominee agai...
