MEASLES ON THE MOVE AS VACCINATION RATES DECLINE

1563 documented cases but the actual number could be as high as 5,000...and counting.

Measles can lead to pneumonia, encephalitis, immune dysfunction, deafness, and even death.

It is preventable by a safe vaccination

Anyone who normalized or defended this guy was normalizing and defending a MAGA propagandist.

Bravo. 🧵

and remember, it especially matters who they have illegally fired and how — they have effectively destroyed many of the CDC's core capacities by targeting leadership, policy, comms, and administrative offices

Here is the students' @idsnews.bsky.social report out of Indiana University, where the student media director was fired today. www.idsnews.com/article/2025...

He flew in his time machine from the Hague, took a break from prosecuting war crimes...

Funding for legal assistance will be very helpful.

Welp.

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

Tim Walz: "Here's what I'd challenge Trump to do: find three soybean farmers who will stand with you and say that's okay. Just three. I challenge you to do that because you're not gonna find them."

No but he'll find actors & dress them up in overalls, throw some hay in their hair & call them soybean farmers & the press won't verify it.

The farmers should dump their soybeans at the gates of his golf courses.

I will refer to this report when Republicans demand i walk back my statement their Party is a pox on the polity and must be sent into the dustbin of history.

Tim Walz: "The biggest myth is that this guy understands business. He's an absolute abject failure at business ... the irony is calling Democrats socialists when I am begging for free markets here to allow capitalism to work. Donald Trump is the one with government interference."

Is she talking about the young children missing because her goon squad dragged them naked & crying from their apartment complex or the 15-yr old girl they tackled & threw into an unmarked van the other day?

Not only has the US killed 27 people (by its figures, independent verification obviously being difficult), they haven't presented evidence or any real legal authority to justify this. Even as they formalized it under a task force.

It turns out that what Todd Gilbert meant by "that escalated quickly" is that he was unwilling to support a grand jury investigation into the origins of the Trump/Russia case. I'm surprised and impressed that Gilbert took this stand. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

I’ll add that the SUPPOSED reason ICE/DHS are all kitted out like they’re invading Iraq is because they’re busting down doors on gangs and cartels except if that were true we’d be seeing daily shootouts and drive-bys but…alas.

I suppose this story makes my newsletter from last night even more timely joycevance.substack.com/p/are-we-the...

The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

Where is Congress? THEY hold the constitutional purse strings, not the White House.
