 There's a scene in the film The Death of Stalin, where Stalin suffers a cerebral hemorrhage, and Nikita Khrushchev suggests calling a doctor, but Lazar Kaganovich observes a Catch-22: "The best doctors are in the gulag or dead, so any doctor still in Moscow is not a good doctor."
Donald Trump has a good doctor in Anthony Fauci, but he is trying to assassinate his character and sideline him. Eventually, there will be no good people left who are willing to advise Trump—and fewer still who will have the guts to save him from himself.
Just as Li Wenliang, the Chinese doctor who tried to warn about the dangers of coronavirus, was punished and humiliated (before dying of the virus), Trump also has created a culture that figuratively murders the messenger and rewards the executioner.

 Joe Raedle/GettyMIAMI—At the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in the United States and the world, physicians and nurses in Florida's besieged health care system are struggling to keep up with a tidal wave of new cases.
Despite what their Republican governor keeps saying, nothing about what they're experiencing seems run-of-the-mill or likely to improve any time soon. If anything, experts and medical workers in the state say, the worst is yet to come.
"The past two weeks [have] been crazier than at the beginning of the pandemic," a nurse at Memorial Hospital West in Pembroke Pines outside Miami, who requested anonymity because she had not received authorization from her hospital to speak to the press, told The Daily Beast. "Everybody is exhausted. I have never seen it like that before."

 ReutersA dire situation is unfolding at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) prison in Virginia, where the vast majority of people detained have now tested positive for the coronavirus, and where guards have responded violently to protests at least three times in two weeks.
The director of Farmville, a privately run immigration detention center in central Virginia, recently stated in court papers that at least 267 people currently detained there have tested positive for the coronavirus—and the numbers may spike further, with 80 people still awaiting test results.
It took until July 2 to test all 366 detainees. Only 19 people tested negative. In addition, 22 employees of the detention center have tested positive.

 NBCOf all the reasons Donald Trump has refused to wear a mask in public in the four-plus months since the COVID-19 pandemic began in the U.S., high on the list must be fear of ridicule. That would explain why the few times he has supposedly worn a mask off-camera, he's bragged about how good he looks and compared himself to the Lone Ranger.
On Monday night, his worst nightmare came true.
After making his first-ever public appearance in a mask at Walter Reed Hospital over the weekend, Trump was mercilessly mocked Monday night by Late Night host Seth Meyers.

 Alex Wong/GettyAs Donald Trump and his press secretary sought to downplay the White House's own effort to scapegoat Dr. Anthony Fauci, top allies to the president spent Monday working on ways to discredit the nation's leading infectious-diseases expert even more.
Stephen Moore, a conservative economist who informally advises Trump on economic matters, said on Monday evening that he is working on a new policy memo that would "go after Fauci," not just for the doctor's proclamations on the still-raging coronavirus pandemic, but for his decades of work for the U.S. government prior to the current crisis.
"We are working on a memo that shows how many times Dr. Fauci's been wrong during not just [this pandemic], but during his entire career," Moore told The Daily Beast, adding that he and his team at the Committee to Unleash Prosperity had been working on it for weeks. Moore, whose failures at political and economic prognostication are routine grist for his critics, added that he and his group intend to send their final product to the White House and Trump and to "publicize it," once ready.

 Aimee Spinks/NetflixPeople might debate whether The Old Guard is a superhero movie, what with its blessed existence outside the Marvel-DC dick-measuring contest and not a swatch of spandex to be found.
To me, the film is as if the Avengers and the Justice League met up with the Fantastic Four and teamed up with the X-Men. It did the thing the superheroes movies are supposed to do—present a world where the best among us fight for what's right—but which none had done before: present a world that feels like my own.
The first time it's acknowledged that the characters Joe (Marwan Kenzari) and Nicky (Luca Marinelli) are in a relationship, you almost don't realize it.

We go to Bloomington, Indiana, to speak with the African American human rights commissioner for Monroe County, Vauhxx Booker, who says he survived an attempted lynching when a group of white men pinned him against a tree over the Fourth of July weekend. "You have to be aware of George Floyd and how many other Black folks in our history have heard their executions spoken before them in real time," Booker recalls. "I felt myself want to cry out 'I can't breathe' with these men on top of me, and I just couldn't say the words." Police were called, but no arrests were made. "These men remain loose in my community," says Booker. The FBI is investigating the encounter as a potential hate crime, and Bloomington's mayor has condemned the incident in a statement. But Booker is now calling on the U.S. District of Southern Indiana to convene a grand jury to take up the case. "At this point, I'm not sure that we can find justice in our local system," he notes, "so we've asked for the federal government to step in."

 REUTERS/Gregg NewtonTake a gander at any of the public social media groups for enthusiasts of Orlando, Florida's Walt Disney World and you'll find a common refrain: the theme park, which reopened on Friday amid a COVID-19 catastrophe, has super-short lines for all its top roller coasters right now.
Disney World closed in mid-March, when COVID-19 cases began sweeping the country. Then on Friday, the same day Florida reported its largest single-day increase in the virus and the first day the U.S. reported more than 70,000 cases, Disney World reopened its gates.
The reopening also comes one day after unionized Disney staff lobbied, unsuccessfully for COVID-19 testing. The result, say Disney megafans who visited on reopening day, is a weirdly empty park.

 Photo Illustration by Sarah Rogers/The Daily Beast / Photos GettyThis week, the Supreme Court upheld Trump's exceptions to the Affordable Care Act, which will allow universities and employers to deny insurers free birth control due to moral objections. The outcry from women's rights advocates was swift. Many insisted that contraception is an imperative part of health care for women.
On Twitter, former California congresswoman Katie Hill was quick to note that birth control does more than just prevent pregnancies. It also helps to treat some conditions like endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome.
"Nothing to do with contraception," Hill wrote. "Just with health, & preventing unimaginable pain. Clearly, people still don't give a shit about women."
