Oh nothing just RFK Jr.’s organization telling people that measles does a body good. I need not drone on and on about the myriad reasons this is wrong, I assume. It’s been a long day, and I think you all already know this.

For someone who is supposed to be in charge of government efficiency, Musk sure spent a lot of time tweeting at me today I take it as a sign that our work to hold him accountable is paying off—& as encouragement to do more! I discussed @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com👇 www.msnbc.com/inside-with-...

A good moment to remember the Russia thing was always real. Trump's goal is to help Russia and Putin, always has been. He's trying to throw our democratic allies under the bus and America as well. Again, the Russia thing was always real.

Here is the ad the Washington Post refused to run about Elon Musk this weekend. And here is the ad the Post was happy to run by a rightwing group funded by Musk that smeared me in October. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and prodemocracy. Check it out. www.democracydocket.com

This is extremely serious. Legal teams need to hit the ground running overnight - along with EVERY Democrat in Washington. Doubtful there are any honorable GOP remaining but even one or two would help. P.S. Thanks to Shauna for the gift link.

Journalists at the national and local level should be clear-eyed about the challenges of political accountability reporting today. We should be equally clear that we won’t be dissuaded from that reporting.

These are the vaccination rates of kindergartners by state. It takes 95% coverage of MMR vaccine to prevent measles outbreaks & most states are not achieving it. I fear that under the new administration rates will drop even further and we will start to see preventable illness, disability, and death

Measles requires 95% vaccination rates for herd immunity. It has a 16.2% case fatality rate for unvaccinated children under 5 years and 24% for children under 9 months (who are unable to be vaccinated). 30% of the survivors experience severe complications like blindness, deafness, or encephalitis.
