A win! A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s pause on issuing visas to immigrants from 75 countries. U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas found the policy was “contrary to law” and went beyond Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s legal authority.

The collapse of Scottish food exports is no accident. By decimating the market not only does it remove 'Scottish' as a quality brand name and therefore a product premium. It makes these businesses unviable and therefore open to buyout at market crash prices.

Measles cases this year near 1,000. That we know of.
Many of the current cases stem from the outbreak in South Carolina, which the administration told Mother Jones they weren’t especially concerned about in December.
