The disrespect has been shocking but this is now full on contempt. All it takes is 3 Republicans to join us and leave behind the silence and complicity. We must call out Musk on his harassment of the civil servants who keep our country running. Keep the pressure on.

Get your kids vaccinated. Get yourself a booster. If you're a Millennial or older, you were almost assuredly vaccinated against Measles already, but if you don't know your immunity level, getting a booster is almost always fine. Any q? Ask a Dr, but go. Now. And yes, I got a booster a year ago.
