🚨Senator Tammy Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.'

Texas has a measles outbreak that’s growing. All who’ve contracted measles are unvaccinated. Parents who don’t vaccinate their children need to keep their kids home, out of public schools. Measles is a highly contagious infectious disease #Voices4Victory www.cbsnews.com/news/measles...
