A 40-year-old unvaccinated woman in Pennsylvania has just died from measles. There is no controversy. She needlessly died from a disease that is preventable with a vaccine. But HHS Secretary RFK Jr. thinks measles isn’t that bad. Nobody should die of measles in the United States.

Pennsylvania woman dies of measles-related complications, local coroner says

The 40-year-old woman, who was from Jefferson County was unvaccinated, according to the coroner. The state health department is conducting a "thorough review" of the case.

Trump Lost The Other Strait Last week, the Iran war appeared to be turning slightly in America’s favor. Yesterday the Houthis broke through and now Iran controls the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The second very important maritime choke point. Trump Lost The Iran War www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Trump Loses the Other Strait

The Houthi advance is bad news for the U.S., and even worse news for Saudi Arabia.

Early reports of an anti-ship ballistic missile launch from Sirik, southern Iran, towards the Strait of Hormuz. Nothing yet on whether the potential target is a tanker or US Navy. Waiting for confirmation.

👇 is very important to keep in mind in re: today's 🇩🇪 election. And yes, there are uniquely terrible things about Trump & the GOP & America's collapse into competitive authoritarianism. But also, it's part of much broader cross-national trends.

A few things (international) commentatoes should remember. Only 2 million people live in Sachsen-Anhalt. Half of Berlin, a tenth of NRW. Around 400k will vote AfD. Even with this strong result, 80% of people living in S-A will not have voted for the AfD. In a state that is a far-right stronghold.

Newsom said it straight: “We’re winning, and Donald Trump knows it.” His presidency won’t last forever, but Democrats have work to do. No celebrating early. Organize, vote, bring people with you, and make November count. If the momentum is real, show it at the ballot box. #Midterms2026 #USPolitics

This is racism, straight out of the Trump playbook. Reform are trying to turn our great country into a franchise of Trump's America. There are countless British patriots who came here from overseas, many of them refugees we proudly welcomed. That's the kind of country we are.
