Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Right now, Cory Booker is holding the Senate floor like a combination of Jimmy Stewart in "Mister Smith Goes to Washington" and Jerry Lewis in the last hours of his telethon. Compelling viewing! (On C-Span and Youtube)

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

🚨Measles cases in the US surge 35% in ONE WEEK—now at 222 in 12 states. We’re nearing last year’s TOTAL of 285, and it’s only March. Two deaths already, both unvaccinated. Texas is the epicenter with 198 cases. The CDC’s weekly data lags, so the numbers are likely even higher.
