MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Monday reacted to Senator Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) interview with Axios in which he said he wants to “harness the magic” of former President Donald Trump to help strengthen the GOP. Scarborough questioned what Graham meant by “magic,” arguing Trump’s violent rhetoric is more like “fascism” and “sedition.” The host said such rhetoric is “your Republican Party” now. “Harness the magic? He led an insurrection to overturn a constitutional process that guaranteed the peaceful transition of power,” Scarborough advised. “Harness the magic? Calling for violence. Not just then but looking at his television set gleefully while Kevin McCarthy and others were screaming at him, begging him to call off his terrorists. That’s actually — that’s not magic. That’s sedition. I mean, we’re all talking about 1/6, but it’s not like a week before the election, he wasn’t refusing to actually guarantee a peaceful transition.

‘Open The Damn Schools’: Joe Scarborough Says Some Trump Critics Are Now The Ones ‘Not Following Science’
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough went after some critics of former President Donald Trump on Monday, saying that when it comes to the delay in reopening schools, they are now the ones “not following the science.” In his broadcast of “Morning Joe,” Scarborough, along with Jonathan Lemire, a reporter for The Associated Press, questioned Dr. Ashish Jha on the science of reopening schools amid the coronavirus pandemic.

National Renewable Energy Laboratory optimistic in face of Trump’s budget cuts
By Peter Marcus , Colorado Politics GOLDEN — The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has 40 years of history behind it, but walking through its sprawling Front Range campus one can’t help but think 40 years into the future. Solar cells that can be spray-painted onto windows or printed at a Home Depot; power grids that can take in a wide portfolio of traditional and renewable energy and adapt to changing environments; homes with appliances that communicate with each other to share power between electric cars, water heaters, appliances and even neighbors; hydrogen cars that can travel 300 miles with only a three-minute charge. Researchers at NREL — a national laboratory that celebrated its 40th birthday on July 5 — have been innovating and contributing to the Colorado and national economy through seven presidential administrations, with the reach of their work only growing each year.

Americans’ shared illusions on unity and disunity: We have similar long-term priorities
More than eight in 10 Americans personally say the country is more divided than united. Similar polling numbers show most other Americans agree with them. Are these real disputes or confusion over what the other side thinks? Research by the think tank Populace suggests it’s confusion.
