It's April 1, but it doesn't feel like April Fools' as our nation continues to face the unprecedented challenge of the coronavirus pandemic.

We continue to wish for the health and safety of you, your family, and your communities and encourage you to check out President Trump's daily press conferences on TV, livestreamed on social media, or on the White House's website at WhiteHouse.gov/live.

Now here's the news you'll want to know this Wednesday.

It's still not the time to play politics.

"On Tuesday the 44th president took to Twitter to criticize 'those who denied warning of pandemic,' and tie it to the need to end climate change denial." [Read the full story from The Federalist.]

President Obama took a thinly veiled political jab at President Trump on Twitter ... in response to a news story about President Trump adjusting federal government mandates for vehicle fuel efficiency.

Seriously.

We'll consider this another reminder to be grateful for President Trump's singular focus on protecting the American people during these uncertain times. And, because you know we're big fans of the daily press conference, here's another reminder.

You can tune in to President Trump's daily updates on coronavirus on many TV stations, stream it live on social media through the White House's accounts, or watch it directly on the White House website at WhiteHouse.gov/live. Today's briefing is scheduled for 5pm Eastern (Washington, D.C. time).

You can't predict the future if you have bad information.

"White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx indicated on Tuesday that any lack of preparation from U.S. officials on dealing with the coronavirus outbreak happened because we were likely 'missing a significant amount of the data' from China." [Read the full story from the Daily Wire.]

Although President Trump took early, decisive action in response to coronavirus -- and faced criticism from some on the left for it -- there's a new attempt to blame his Administration for failure to predict the full scope of the pandemic.

As Dr. Birx pointed out in yesterday's press briefing (see, we told you those events are good!), many early projections were based on data from China ... data that's now believed to have been "missing," which is the most diplomatic use of the term.

This is impressive. State Department helps more than 27,000 Americans come home.

"The State Department has rescued more than 27,000 Americans from 50 countries during the past several weeks since the coronavirus stranded scores of U.S. citizens abroad, including in some countries that have been placed on complete lockdown." [Read the full story from the Washington Free-Beacon.]

As international flights have been canceled or delayed and countries have closed their borders or limited travel, some Americans have been stranded abroad.

But the State Department has brought home more than 27,000 Americans during these uncertain times, including through complicated logistics and multiple flight plans that seem like something out of a Hollywood movie.

You'll find the story worthwhile; read it here from the Washington Free-Beacon.

It's an election year unlike any other: what will happen with the party conventions?

"Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said late Tuesday that it is 'hard to envision' members of the Democratic party gathering in 104 days for the Democratic National Convention." [Read the full story from The Hill.]

This summer, both Democrats and Republicans are scheduled to gather for multi-day, action-packed party conventions. You've likely seen the scene of convention floors: packed crowds, lots of enthusiasm, and plenty of applause as both parties' luminaries take the stage.

But by party rules, they also fulfill an important function: to formally nominate a party candidate for the presidential election.

The Democrats are set to meet in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in mid-July (the Republican convention isn't until late August), but when asked, Joe Biden said it was "hard to envision" a traditional Democratic convention taking place amid coronavirus.

Coronavirus has put an end to traditional campaigning -- no big events, no campaign stops, and no door-to-door voter contact -- while our country (rightly!) focuses on coming together to solve our common challenge. It's likely that this year's conventions may change too.

Of course, the only guarantee is we'll see even more change in upcoming weeks ... and we'll be here to bring you the top stories about the 2020 election that you'll want to know.
