Stephen Miller's grandmother died of COVID-19. Her son blames the Trump administration.

[View in browser]( [Mother Jones Daily Newsletter]( July 24, 2020 It's [Children's Day]( in Vanuatu! On this day we think of the children of Vanuatu, a low-lying island country in the Pacific. What type of life will they have as they mature into adults? Unfortunately, like [too many countries](, Vanuatu is perilously susceptible to climate change and the rising sea. Our failure to confront global warming is a moral abomination the consequences of which will be more intensely felt by people from countries that only make the news when they are [devastated by catastrophe](. So on this day we think of the children of Vanuatu, and our own complicity in the threats that abound. —Ben Dreyfuss [House Donations Ad]( [Top Story] [Top Story]( [Stephen Miller’s Grandmother Died of COVID-19.

[@ArmstrongHouse]( is a treasure, the lively account of the Louis Armstrong House Museum in Queens, where Louis lived for 30 years, and it’s a National Historic Landmark open to the public. @ArmstrongHouse [reminded]( the world yesterday that July 23 marked a key moment in music history: Can’t let the day pass without mentioning that the recording of Ella and Louis Again commenced on this date in 1957!
