President Trump Could Leave Hospital as Early as Monday
President Donald Trump's health is improving as he responds to treatment for COVID-19 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, his doctors said Sunday, adding that he could return to the White House as early as Monday.
"If he continues to look and feel as well as he does today, our hope is that we can plan for a discharge as early as tomorrow to the White House where he can continue his treatment course," said Dr. Brian Garibaldi of Johns Hopkins University, who is consulting on the president's medical treatment. Later Sunday, Trump briefly left the medical center for a drive-by greeting for dozens of supporters who had gathered across the street from the hospital.
On Thursday, Trump said he'd tested positive for COVID-19. On Friday, he was flown to Walter Reed Medical Center out of what the White House called "an abundance of caution." And on Saturday, the state of the president's health remained uncertain: White House physician Dr. Sean Conley said Trump was "doing very well." But White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows reportedly said the president's vitals had been "very concerning."

Trump Criticized for Leaving Hospital Room to Drive by Supporters
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Sunday briefly left his hospital room at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he is being treated for Covid-19, to drive past a group of supporters, a move medical experts and Democrats swiftly criticized as "insanity."
The president posted a video to his Twitter account around 5:15 p.m. announcing that he would "pay a little surprise to some of the great patriots that we have out on the street." A few minutes later, the presidential motorcade slowly drove by the perimeter of the hospital, where a crowd had been gathering since Friday night. Trump was seen through the window of an SUV waving and wearing what appeared to be a cloth mask, as opposed to a more protective N95 mask.

California Establishes Law to Give Reparations to Descendants of Slaves
California on Wednesday became the first state to adopt a law paving the way for Black residents and descendants of slaves to receive reparation payments.
The legislation, which was authored by Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, a Democrat representing San Diego who is chair of California's Legislative Black Caucus, does not commit to any specific payment. Instead, it establishes a nine-person task force that will study the impact of slavery on Black people in California and recommend to the Legislature what kind of compensation should be provided, who should receive it and what form it will take.
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the law Wednesday afternoon.

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany sparred with reporters Thursday over President Trump’s recent comments on white supremacists, arguing Trump denounced hate groups at this week's presidential debate and denying that he has a mixed record on the issue.

Trump Says Proud Boys Should 'Stand Down' After Receiving Backlash
Biden Used Muslim Phrase 'Inshallah' During Debate, Lighting Up Twitter
Pressing President Donald Trump on when the American public would get to see his long-anticipated tax returns, Biden questioned: "When? Inshallah?"
In certain vernacular, "inshallah" serves as a non-committal response to a question.
Taken literally, the term "inshallah," consists of three Arabic words (In sha' Allah) which translate into "if God wills it." Spiritually it represents a submission to God's will. It can perhaps be seen as the Muslim counterpart to the Yiddish adage, "Man plans, and God laughs."
