🚨Measles cases in the US surge 35% in ONE WEEK—now at 222 in 12 states.
We’re nearing last year’s TOTAL of 285, and it’s only March. Two deaths already, both unvaccinated. Texas is the epicenter with 198 cases.
The CDC’s weekly data lags, so the numbers are likely even higher.

The media is now obsessed with remorseful Trump voters, white voters, who are now losing their jobs or upset about inflation. I don’t want to hear from them. I want to hear from the Black voters who stood in line for hours, only to be turned away because their name was purged from the rolls.
