Downplaying the first Measles death in a decade — a Texas child — and lying that outbreaks aren't "unusual" is just the start of the terrible grief that RFK Jr. will inflict on this nation as HHS secretary.

I think this is part of things that's going somewhat underappreciated. Trump is liking the fact that Elon is doing the work part of being President. Trump wants the title, and the power, but he doesn't want to actually have to deal with the daily mechanics of the job.

Trump and Musk claim they’re saving billions through DOGE’s mass purge of federal bureaucracy. Instead, the administration has spent $710 billion in its first month, nearly a billion more than Joe Biden.

When it comes to boycotting, just a thought. It’s okay if you can’t quit a company cold turkey. In Master Gardeners, when we encourage people to switch to native plants, the goal is 70% native, not 100%. If you were shopping at a store 80% of the time and cut it back to 60%, that 20% still hurts.

The reporting on the trans travel visa ban is criminal. It does NOT only affect transgender athletes. The cables CLEARLY say it affects all trans people. They can reject visas on point 6 of anyone who is requesting a visa that does not match their assigned sex at birth.
