Yesterday, a lead spokesperson for HHS abruptly quit after 2 weeks because of a disagreement with RFK Jr. over messaging related to the measles outbreak. Today, RFK Jr. refused to promote vaccination in the media and instead made comments undermining the safety and effectiveness of MMR vaccine.

At tonight’s State of the Union, Trump will have one goal: to distract.
His policies are wreaking havoc on the economy and upending American lives, and he will lie, blame, and distract to avoid any bit of responsibility. Don’t fall for it.
