At the time, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had been working on coronavirus guidance that recommended face coverings, a reversal of its previous position, in the face of mounting evidence that people could spread the coronavirus without experiencing symptoms. The Postal Service prepared for the possibility it might be deputized in the effort, drawing up a news release touting that it was “uniquely suited” to help. The service specifically identified Orleans and Jefferson parishes in Louisiana as the first areas to receive face coverings, with deliveries shortly thereafter to King County, Wash.; Wayne County, Mich.; and New York, according to the newly unearthed document, which is labeled a draft.
Before the news release was sent, however, the White House nixed the plan, according to senior administration officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share internal deliberations. Instead, HHS created Project America Strong, a $675 million effort to distribute “reusable cotton face masks to critical infrastructure sectors, companies, healthcare facilities, and faith-based and community organizations across the country.” About 600 million of the 650 million masks ordered have been distributed, according to an HHS spokesperson, including 125 million set aside for schools.
“There was concern from some in the White House Domestic Policy Council and the office of the vice president that households receiving masks might create concern or panic,” one administration official said in response to the scrapped mask plan. | |

As a reader of this publication, you will have undoubtedly come across the term “Latinx.” Politicians—including Elizabeth Warren, Julián Castro, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—have adopted it and use it regularly in speeches. It is commonplace in universities and progressive circles. And yet the Pew Research Center recently released the results of a nationwide poll revealing that less than twenty-five per cent of the people whom the term claims to name have even heard of it. In fact, the number of Latinx people who use “Latinx” is just three per cent.
At first glance, the rise of Latinx seems like only the most recent chapter in the saga of trying to label a population that has pushed back against every previous attempt to name it—to name us. The people successively referred to as Hispanics, Latinos, and now Latinx, who now number more than sixty million, almost twenty per cent of the U.S. population, only reluctantly agree that they are actually one and the same people. Just thirty-nine per cent say they have “a lot in common” with one another, according to another Pew survey, and thirty-nine per cent think they share “some values,” fifteen per cent say they share “only a little,” and five per cent say they share “almost nothing.” If you give members of this community the freedom to choose how to identify themselves, the more than fifteen years of polling that Pew has conducted show that most prefer other collective names: Mexicans (or Mexican-Americans, or Chicanos), Puerto Ricans (or Boricuas), Cubans, Salvadorans, Guatemalans, Colombians, or any of our many nationalities of descent. Increasingly, more people choose to identify as indigenous or as Black. | |

It is unclear what rich people are for. In the most generous interpretation, the rich are here on earth for the same ineffably profound reasons that other people are: to create and aspire, to love and be loved, to live and die and eat the sandwiches of their choosing. But the ways in which extreme wealth continues to warp and diminish and generally impoverish the world raise the existential stakes significantly on the question. The people who have the most also tend to demand the most, and on a level that ordinary people can’t or won’t demand things. The rich fund institutions and armies of credentialed factotums to recast their greed and dull, atavistic desires as valid ideologies, and politicians spin all that corny dross into policies, and it all piles up downstream from there. It chokes, it floods. Some rich people also collect art, to be fair, although that’s mostly because art is currently the most expensive thing a person can collect.
Steven A. Cohen, who officially agreed to buy 95 percent of the New York Mets from the group headed by Fred and Jeff Wilpon on Monday evening, is one of the art-collecting kind of rich people, but also the other more mundane kind. The financier, whose investment firm paid the SEC $1.8 billion in penalties in 2016 after pleading guilty to various financial crimes, has built an art collection worth more than a billion dollars since 2000, and donated millions of dollars to Donald Trump and (exclusively) other Republicans since 2010, the year his hedge fund began being investigated by the Democratic former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. His collection includes one of those Damien Hirst sharks that floats in a tank of formaldehyde and other works by artists otherwise already deemed highly collectible. He is not an aficionado, just someone who can buy whatever he wants. “I know right away,” Cohen told Fortune in 2016 about his buying philosophy. “If it stays in my brain—let’s say I go see a picture, if I keep thinking about it, I know it’s something I like. If I forget about it, then I know, couldn’t care less.” Until he wrested control of the Mets from the Wilpons, it’s hard to say that Cohen served society much.

Since she retired last year, my mom has spent a good deal of her free time knocking on doors and making phone calls for political candidates. During the pandemic, she’s turned to text-banking as a way to stay involved politically at a time when social distancing and travel restrictions have made it difficult to canvass in person. But when she started sending texts last month on behalf of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, the responses she got back from the occasional Trump voters on her list surprised her.
“They immediately start calling Biden a pedophile,” she told me. “I send out 500 texts in a pop and maybe it’ll come up five to seven times.” | |

A Southern California sheriff's deputy accused of stealing items from an unoccupied home days after he responded to a report of a death there is facing a burglary charge, officials said Thursday.
Steve Hortz, a 12-year veteran of the Orange County Sheriff's Department, was arrested Thursday and placed on administrative leave, sheriff's officials said in a statement.
Hortz went to the home July 20 after a report about a man in his 70s who died of natural causes, officials said. They said he returned to the home three times in late July and mid-August, once in uniform to unlock a door and twice more to remove items. | |
