United States Latest News, United States Headlines

On Tuesday, the president and first lady Melania Trump staged a White House event designed to push local school districts to reopen in the fall. The event provided a forum for teachers, administrators, students and parents to discuss"best practices" for safely reopening schools around the country.

At Wednesday's news conference at the Education Department, CDC Director Robert Redfield said he wanted “to make it very clear” that the guidelines are intended to help schools reopen and are not “to be used as a rationale to keep schools closed.

McEnany focused on the first part of that recommendation, saying there are millions of students who depend on schools for meals and can't bring their own.On funding, McEnany said Trump is looking at"potentially redirecting" federal dollars so it's"tied to the student, and not to a district where schools are closed."

Lying

Is he going to responsible if anything might happen to the children after reopen schools?

Are his girls returning to a face-to face classroom?

Good Luck on that. Trump Admin can’t force a parent to send their child to school if they do not feel safe. Trump can’t. Constitution-school rules on Governors. Pence never joined the Party. Like DeSantis, Abbott, crazy guy in Arizona. Train left Station- 133,000 passengers on it

Idiot

Where exactly are the numbers flattening?

This guy! Ignorance

Pence, you are about to fade into obscurity. Just a footnote in history as part of the worst, most corrupt Presidential administration ever.

If you listen real hard you can smell trumps butt.

Oh boy......

Live and Let Die.

DensePence VP 🤡

Well mike, they are rising in Florida Texas Arizona etc, should children go back to school ?!?!? I know the answer, do you ?

Wtf is he? Not on this planet

Best laugh all day! Moron

Don’t be sorry when your children get sick. Stay home.

This kiss ass makes me as sick as his boss does.

3 millions is a flattening number? Should send him back to elementary school to learning basic sense of number!

Unbelievable and disturbing! VOTE BLUE ALL THE WAY!

Tell The VP to make sure he's at a school (inner-city preferably) on the first-day w/o a mask if he wants them open. Tell him to meet and greet all the kids. We'll see how long he'll last.

VP NO! Stable Genius doesn't know what he's talking about! Needs to listen to medical experts & healthcare workers that are saying they need PPEs & MORE TESTING! Can't take a sharpie to this & change the facts! Willing to endanger students just like he endangers military! VOTE!

WTF! Pence needs to turn his chart right side up.

Fu$k these people! 1) we are not starting to see the flattening of the curve in FL, TX or AZ. they can’t process the test in large enough qty to keep up. 2) you did nothing to lower the curve in the Northeast. 3) you will not sacrifice our children

What is he talking about?

What's it like to live in an alternate reality? PenceLies PenceisTrumpsLackey schoolsreopening

dotard view on life: “if mother says it’s ok then it’s okay”

.VP is such a liar. COVID19 coronavirus

The headline might as well read: VP Pence encouraged by unicorn sightings, anticipates rides through the WH.

Flattening Curve ? ! ? Where Preacher Pence ? ! ? In Indonesia ? ! ? Indonesia is NOT part of America, in case you were wondering ! !

this is an outrageously irresponsible & unprofessional post by a 'news' organization.

Whatever he’s drinking he better stop, he must be looking at the graph upside down!

VP Pence is just SLIME!

Did you put that through Trevor Noah's fake headline generator? It should read, 'Pence lies about COVID-19 cases flattening in bid to push unsafe reopening of schools.'

Where are the numbers flattening? Certainly not in Tx, Fla, or Arizona!

He’s more stupid than trump

Not true. Why are you reporting this?

lol schools reopening? yeah right

Flattening AZ Open schools? Obviously trump and pence don’t have young children in schools!!

Explain how you do it safely.

Blind man walking! How is he seeing a flattening in AZ or FL?

What flattening numbers? Is he high?

Flattening where? Mars

He must have the curve upside down

They must be looking at their charts and graphs upside down. It’s believable.

inhuman

I understand now! Dumbass has been looking at the graph in landscape mode - sideways - so the curve looks like it’s flattening.

Get real. You are full of crap.

Do he does have any idea what’s happening in Phoenix, AZ record high hospitalizations, lack of a national testing policy. TraitorInChief TraitorPence Biden2020

Pipe dreaming in the most religious way possible

And let all the children die?

VP is lying.

PENCE is TRUMP'S puppet!

Journalistically irresponsible headline. What Pence said is absolutely false. Don’t spread propaganda! You’re journalists, not stenographers.

Hahahahaha! Yeah, let’s take his word for it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He’s delusional. Stop giving him airtime and send him back to mother.

What curve is he not looking at?

I want televised footage of all the kids and/or grandchildren of any of the politicians pushing for schools to open, so we have proof it’s safe to open.

Hey! USA TODAY, get it together! The curve AIN’T FLATTENING and you know it!

Where are these flattening numbers? VoteBlueToSaveAmerica2020

What numbers are flattening? Because I’m pretty sure they aren’t nationwide...

Folks... they are a DEATH CULT!!! Call them out! Everything they do is to spread the virus. GOPDeathCult

Flattening Covid numbers where

Fake headline.

What numbers are you seeing VP ? Plz show us your numbers

So... that’s your headline? A lie?

There is no national strategy. Period.

Flattening of the curve? Where did he get the data ? I’m confused.

Is he drunk?

If he could convince Trump's fans that soap is not the enemy we might get somewhere. I mean Trump's fans have horrendous hygiene. They smell like butt.

IDIOT!!!

Wet noodle

What the hell is up with your headline Where the hell is the curve flattening? Are you now just a stenographer for whatever propaganda or LIES this administration puts out?

Also USA Today what kind of headline is this? It should read “Pence claimed flattening COVID-19 curve, while many states hit daily records!”

What is he looking at that is flat?

All positive news pence addresses media and all negative news trump asked to face media.

He clearly takes drugs that cloud his awareness. The numbers are skyrocketing. For a “Christian,” he sure does lie a lot!

Trump and America are the worst in the entire world! They haven’t flattened any curve they have created a frickin Mountain range of Coronavirus.

What flattening curve? I guess VP can’t read too! We are setting daily infectious records now!

Are u fckn kidding me?!?!?!!!

Where is one reason why I wear a mask!

What is this imbecile smoking? Nothings “flattened” other than possibly NY/NJ. The rest of the country, especially FL/AZ/TX/GA is in bad shape.

🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🐁🐁🐁🐁🐁🐁🐁😷🦠😷🦠😷🦠😷🦠😷😷😷

Lies lies lies

That dude is creepy and not even close to being a good liar.

now that it is safe for kids to go back to school, is it now safe for Paul Manafort to go back to jail?

yucky person

Awww , just shuddup...

He looks like a white headed robot. No expression whatsoever.

I feel like I’m watching a totally different movie than these guys...

VP Sold his soul to the devil. The fact that he refuses to speak about the atrocities the last 4 years shows he has no conscious and does not care about what is right, only caring about his own agenda. Where will he draw the line?

VP and realDonaldTrump will reap what they have sown. They are truly disgusting and evil demons!

Those who are delusional should not be in public service...

He’s touched in the head. Too much mothering.

.VP Liar. Sinner. Betrayer of American citizens!

Flattening? He’s got to be kidding. I’m so sick of the lies.

Moron!

Im from Texas & this is dog, cat, cow, ruster, goat, crocodrile & bull shit. Flattening the line of bull shit. This is increasing by the hundredfold. This is a lie. Whats the urgency of educating kids & children if we know they will be exposed? Education more important than life?

Wtf flat? We are going vertical

There's the statue Trump should take to rallies, cold as stone.

Huh?!!!? What flattening numbers? The ones in the EU where Americans aren't allowed?

'were able to do in those states' - M.P 'BITCH WE BEEN ON OUR OWN' - Texas

VP

no you're not

The numbers grow exponentially. Why the hell don’t people throw some reality into these losers faces.

Your headline qualifies as journalistic malpractice

He must be looking at the European numbers. Someone tell him they are not part of the United States.

You people in that White House are living in a different world. People out here are dying, some starving and some can't pay rent or bills. Are you trying to get profits back for you and your friends or are you concerned at all for American lives.

The other guy can’t read. This guy can’t do math. He keeps looking at the wrong line (Europe) to build support for this wrecking ball called the Trump covid response.

As who was able to do in the Northeast? We? What?

Is he talking about Europe?

His idea of flattening and mine are completely opposite 🤷‍♀️ idiot!

W here are you seeing the change idiot,when everyday it keeps going up stupid.

All he did was try to paint a rosy picture that wasn’t exactly true.

Bad headline. There is no flattening.

Flattening where, you criminal?!?!

He just figured out you can flatten the curve with a handy Sharpie.

What flattening COVID-19 numbers?

What the hell?! Flattening?! Change this

Ok so potus and BetsyDeVosED want public school systems to go back to full in school classes with assumptions will be fine. Let mitigate risk, have 10 schools systems across the country to volunteer to open mid-Aug as a controlled test! schoolsreopening

And this is why American’s become confused...

There’s a flattening? Where and when?

Flatlining

Lying

What the hell is he talking about?!!!

Not sure where you got your education but when the graphs are rising daily, it means nothing has flattened...looks like you’ve spent so much time up trumps ass you have become as dumb as he is. Shame on you!

What flattening numbers? In the backwaters and flyovers, the numbers are exploding!

Numbers are rising in more that 1/2 of the states. Encouraging?

MAKE UP YOUR MINDS.

What reports do these fools read?

You should really point out in your tweet that he is lying. Thanks.

I know we can’t stay closed down forever but trying to balance opening with the Pandemic may be difficult.

Hey soledadobrien here’s another headline normalizing the horror and danger that is the Trump administration 😕

Flattening? What planet is he on?

He must be talking about New Zealand...

ICYMI: Pence ribbed 👊🏻👈🏻

These are deadly lies. If you want to be a propaganda arm for the GOP you need to start tagging your tweets as 'sponsored' and your paper as 'cat pan liners.'

He and ‘MOTHER’ must be drinking tequila shots for breakfast

Please provide sourced info on these “flattening COVID-19 numbers”.

You can reopen schools tomorrow if you want, my son is not returning to class until there is a vaccine available!

Do these prats live in a parallel universe? The number of cases have risen!

Flattening? What the AF? THIS IS NOT FLAT! United States Confirmed 3.11M (+50,940) Deaths 134K (+902) 50K new cases a day

Quit coddling these guys. They were “hired” to do a job and they’re failing BIGLY. Call it like it is and do YOUR jobs.

Do you think he hates his life

There’s no flattening of any curves in the US. What alternative reality do you live in, VP Pence? This graphic is over a week ago, and it’s gotten worse.

He’s positioning himself to take over when Donald is deemed unfit to continue.

VP Pence is obviously talking about somewhere else.

Flattening numbers?!! clueless 🙄

It is lower.

A talking cardboard cutout - how clever

FLATTENING 😆😅😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂TraitorTrump and company just play too damn much...... They can't be serious

what planet is he living on? they aren't flattening?

He's standing on a mass grave of Americans buried from COVID. Still dropping dead all around him and he's says this shit.

Sad that your post treats the VP's statement as fact. Many people, unfortunately, don't read stories. They look at headlines. You can do better.

We all know that COVID-19 is only killing the sick, the weak, the medicated, the fat people with diabetes, Killing people with medical conditions. All the people that are going to die soon anyway. So if this is you, Please Stay Home!!!

Numbers are flattening? Didn’t the US hit a record high today? Why do our leaders flat out lie?

The tone-deaf puppet VP.

If Mr. Pence was speaking for the Germans, he would be more believable.

According to a devastating new poll from Pew Research Center, just 17 percent of Americans are proud of their country under the failed leadership of Trump. Trump & Pence rounding up our children for extermination... Sound familiar?

He’s a jackass.

Has he checked Arizona , Texas, Florida, Oklahoma? What a damn liar!

STOP LYING PENCE

And I hope to fly. Still sitting in the runway, though. Guy’s a clown. GOP VP

Stop normalizing lying! Stop!

When our leaders rely on 'hope,' that's when all hope is lost.

The guy says it’s flattening in the worst states with the highest rising counts 😂😂😂

He’s delusional.

Does he do drugs

You mean he’s encouraged by the lies he is telling everyone? Because we all know that many states are anything but flat. I live in Texas and he tried to say that we have flattened our curve. It’s insulting to every American the way they lie with zero shame.

Pence is such a poor excuse for VP. Deflector and liar has been his game. Glad it comes to a screeching halt in November.

What country is that doofus living in?

Lying, incompetent, evil man.

EnemyOfThePeople VP realDonaldTrump GovRonDeSantis senatemajldr

What are you even talking about 132,000 dead 3 million infections and RISING

It’s not flattening how about he says

All I hear is shi*t and lies coming out his mouth.

He is lying. Please say that next time

Covid-19 is on the rise in 42 states. . . Pence must be in the alternate U.S. where there are no viruses. So, Can I assume that Melania and Ivanka are sending their kids back to school?

**irresponsible headline alert**

Flattening? What planet are you and Pence living on? covid

I suggest looking at all of the numbets together in context, not just the favorable ones that suit your political purposes.

COVID-19 used confusion! It’s super effective!

These are the daily death numbers.

Up is down. Down is up.

nope

He’s worthless!! He’s DT lapdog!!

Fake Coronavirus Numbers, GovRonDeSantis ordered coroners to LIE.

There are no flattening Covid numbers

Trump's lapdog says what?

'Analyzing and interpreting graphs and data' 0/10

Flattening COVID numbers

He's insane.

Crazy

Where the hell are tye numbers flattening outside of a handful of states
