βIf measles-mumps-rubella vaccination rates decline 1% annually for the next five years, associated medical and societal costs could reach $1.5 billion.β (That 1% is a conservative estimate βgiven current policy and coverage trajectoryβ.) [beckershospitalreview.com]
The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February. That's 5 of the last 9 months with overall job losses.
The choices of clips they made to include in this clip are very very telling.
@carynrose.bsky.social Hope you had a great birthday!
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. Sheβs married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
Theyβve already sent her to Louisiana.
It implies that we are visitors in someone elseβs country.
I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though itβs quite literally the original incarnation.
Oh wow! Thanks β€οΈ
This is incredible work -- and so useful. @propublica.org is providing this data to journalists (and others) who may not have the resources to gather it on their own.

I mean hear me out White people, close your eyes and imagine a world that tells you, no matter how qualified, experienced or leader focused you are. People won't vote for you because you are white...
This is what you tell Black people all the time as an excuse for why "people won't vote for them."
If the government gets to decide if you have them, they're not human rights.
Widespread panic in #Beirut after Israel issues unprecedented evacuation order for southern suburbs. Traffic is choked, people rushing to leave & head north. Drones in the air. WhatsApp messages urging ppl to crack windows open to avoid shattering from expected blasts #lebanon
We've been tracking nearly 200 lawsuits against the Trump administration over its attempts to leverage federal funding to impose the president's agenda.
The most startling pattern: The administration seems entirely undeterred when it loses in court.

The global energy trade is in turmoil as the Iran war chokes off oil and natural gas shipments, causing prices to soar.
Asia is the most exposed since it relies heavily on imported fuel, much of it shipped through the Strait of Hormuz.
Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.
As Rep. Jayapal says, our reporting has found that these arenβt isolated incidents. Last October, we tallied more than 170 cases of U.S. citizens detained by immigration agents.
Hereβs that investigation sheβs referring to:
The Trump White House saves a MAGA adviser via private jet, but wonβt save regular Americans stranded in the Middle East.
I've got the latest on this outrageous maneuver to help a Trump consultant while the State Department scrambles to figure out a plan for others.

Leavitt says Trump's decision to strike Iran was based on his "feeling based on fact that Iran does pose an imminent and direct threat to the US"
A lot of blaming voters, not enough blaming voter suppression

This is ENRAGING. Not only did they start an illegal war-without notifying Congress-in which 6 American soldiers and many civilians have died, creating chaos because they have no plan for what happens next
But they left Americans in the Middle East completely stranded and vulnerable on top of it
Crockett concedes: βThis morning I called James and congratulated him on becoming the Senate nominee. Texas is primed to turn blue and we must remain united because this is bigger than any one person.β

The Iranian ambassador was not, for the record, on American soil.
Iβve never seen an admin more full of juvenile man-children openly projecting their juvenile man-childness every time they open their mouths and try to come across as βtough.β (And yes, I know Waltzβs background: still juvenile.)
Alright, lets do some downballot. Dan Crenshaw looks a lot like he's going to get turfed out by stalwart state rep. Steve Toth, one of the great That Guys we have on offer. One incumbent down.
They literally spent the past 4-plus years blasting Biden over the withdrawal from Afghanistan and how "rushed" it was.
I have a few bedrock principles. One is that I will never and I mean never listen to a word uttered by the people who were paid cheerleaders for the Iraq war and still think they can just run their mouth about military interventions as if history started today.
