A child in the U.S. has died from measles.
In another administration, the death and growing outbreak would likely have been met with urgent calls from the president and Health and Human Services secretary for parents to vaccinate their children.
But this is public health in the Kennedy era.

Elon Musk’s team posted an online “wall of receipts,” celebrating how much it had saved by canceling federal contracts.
Now it has deleted all of the five biggest “savings” on that original list, after The New York Times and other media outlets pointed out they were riddled with errors.

DOGE Quietly Deletes the 5 Biggest Spending Cuts It Celebrated Last Week
The cuts, highlighted on an earlier version of the “wall of receipts” posted by Elon Musk’s team, contained mistakes that vastly inflated the amount of money saved.

Very concerning!
gml.noaa.gov is now non-functional. This is the site that I would go to every month to get updated GHG data for my graphics.
I'm not sure if scrippsco2.ucsd.edu will have access to the CO2 data, or where I will get CH4 data.
I made a local backup of gml last week in anticipation.
