A child, unvaccinated, just died of measles in Texas. What a tragic, senseless death.
I hope this tragedy will encourage other parents to get their kids vaccinated. There's a really good reason for doing that...helping your kids to enjoy childhood and live to become adults!

Well, finally they're starting to see sense. These changes won't affect trump et al, but it will negatively affect their own constituency which could cost them at election time.
Some Republicans are raising concerns about how reducing the federal workforce by hundreds of thousands and canceling spending approved by Congress will affect regions filled with GOP voters. For instance, Ohio has more than 55,000 federal civilian workers.

Brits believe we're idiots for having voted him back in office. They're absolutely correct.
World leaders react to JD Vance's speech at the Munich Security Conference, calling it "silly and immature" by accusing European countries of endangering free speech. This British leader essentially says, "check yourself before embarrassing yourself, rookie."

Everyone needs to stop bringing pillows to a knife fight. Trump controls the mob & most police officers will be among them. The way to defeat a mob is with a larger & more determined mob. You must begin large scale demonstrations, frighten Elon's brownshirts, & ensure the neutrality of the military.
