BASH: I want you to use your bully pulpit to tells parents who have not vaccinated their kids that they should vaccine their kids for measles. Will you do that? Look into the camera RFK Jr: I'll say it right now. Parents should get their children vaccinated for measles.

Trump's attacks on suspected drug boats are arguably crimes against humanity. The International Criminal Court likely has jurisdiction -- if they take place within the territory of a member set (Venezuela or Colombia) OR on a boat registered in it. warontherocks.com/internationa...

Facing criticism that it had minimized the number of U.S. soldiers killed and wounded in the war with Iran, the Pentagon changed the way it reports casualties. The changes separated the casualty numbers into two separate web pages, potentially making it more difficult to tally the war’s full toll.
