A German doctor whose hospital treated an unvaccinated boy who later died of diphtheria told our reporter of the infection: “It was taught as history,” he said. In the U.S., measles was taught as history, too. Now it isn’t.
Measles Used to Be in Our Rearview Mirror. Now Cases Are Reaching Record Highs.
In other parts of the world that have let their guard down to vaccine-preventable diseases, long-forgotten scourges have roared back and killed and disabled children.

Of course Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas both dissented from blocking the MAGA regime’s illegal mail-in ballot restrictions, the usual scumbag suspects. They are the most corrupt criminals in Supreme Court history.
When there are ways to be spactacularly inappropriate and vulgar, a Trump will find them.

Can't be said enough: In her 29+ years in the Senate, Susan Collins has NEVER cast a tie-breaking vote against a GOP nominee. She's cast dozens of tie-breaking votes FOR Republican nominees and bills. Are we supposed to believe this is some sort of statistical quirk or anomaly? #MEpolitics
Collins Watch@collinswatch.bsky.social · 11h agoNEW: Susan Collins casts tie-breaking vote to advance Trump judge nominee who was on the board of an anti-abortion pregnancy crisis center (!); and in his confirmation wouldn't say who won the 2020 election or talk about Jan 6. Would be above-the-fold news if Maine media did its job. #MEpolitics

Trumps Fierce Election Day Strategy Sparks Controversy Over Legality
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has launched a controversial initiative as November's election nears, aiming to exert unprecedented control over the electoral process. A former mixed martial arts fighter known for his confrontational style, Mullin has threatened to penalize states and local election officials who do not comply with his agency's election security mandates. In a recent statement, he indicated that his department is prepared to dispatch ICE officers to polling places if they receive reports of certain suspects, raising alarms about potential intimidation tactics during the voting process.

“Zelenskyy has to do one thing. He has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia. Let him go after targets but not diesel fuel, because he’s causing a shortage of diesel fuel,” said #Trump. This is BLAME shifting. He is trying to divert the attention from Iran and the blocked Strait of Hormuz.

Here’s that disgraceful criminal at the Pentagon’s 25th 9/11 memorial service.
It's so sleazy for a governor to edit an opposing candidate's photos or ads secretly. Texans, don't let the sleazy fraudsters of Texas manipulate you and get away with it.
In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?
He yells at female reporters, (sorry… Black female reporters) and NO ONE in the White House Press Corps will attempt to defend the women. That’s how low we have sunk.
It's an abuse of the FCC. Texans, make it backfire!
