It is NOT could.
USA will lose its measles elimination status in Jan 2026, because RFK Jr’s HHS is doing NOTHING to stop it.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Measles is safely preventable. Vaccines save lives.
This year's spikes in measles cases could cause the U.S. to lose its "elimination status" by next year after the CDC reports nearly 2,000 cases and 50 outbreaks nationwide. Dr. Peter Hotez discusses on "All In."

They're enabling creepy lonely men to create submissive "AI companions" that can be modeled on whatever real-life woman they're obsessed with and made to do whatever they want and, Jesus Christ, I need to wash my hands just typing that.
"And I never say no"

We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.

We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

The Trump administration’s attacks on the Forest Service are increasing the risk of wildfires.

We will keep fighting to make sure our firefighters have the resources they need to protect themselves and keep us safe.

Trump is just the worst! The National Park Service is reshuffling its free-admission schedule so that visitors get in free on Donald Trump’s birthday next year, while Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth (previously free days) will now require regular entrance fees.
National Parks are now free on Trump's birthday, but not on MLK Jr. Day or Juneteenth
The Trump administration overhauled the list of free National Park days for 2026.
