I think the key problem here is a continuing assumption, in traditional media, that when the White House speaks on a major topic, this is a big news story.
That model can't cope with a president with no regard for truth, who's in constant broadcast mode, & who veers around from one day to another.

A photograph of a school bell, with several partial quotes surrounding it as if they're being made by the bell itself. There's text saying "The summer holidays are not a break for the 10,360 children stuck in temporary accommodation"
βοΈ The summer holidays should be a fun and exciting time for a child, but with 10,360 children in Scotland living in unsuitable temporary accommodation, for them it means more time in a space they don't feel safe. π«
