Pennsylvania’s measles outbreak is the largest in decades in the U.S.
The state has surpassed 1,000 measles cases this year, health officials said Monday, making it the largest outbreak in the U.S. in more than three decades.

Of course. The Supreme Court kicked off its new term today by hearing oil companies’ attempt to throw out a lawsuit seeking to make them pay for climate damage they caused. The outcome could determine whether similar lawsuits brought by cities and counties across the country can move forward.

After Murdering His Wife, Caleb Flynn Told Their Grieving Daughters He Might Also Die If They Didn’t Lie to Police
In a victim impact statement read in court before her father’s sentencing, one of Caleb’s daughters asked: “What did she ever do to make you hate her so much?”

😂 Democracy, russian style. Communists in Moscow held an officially approved rally. Then they started chanting “Down with the Tsar!” And suddenly the “approved rally” wasn’t so approved anymore - police beat them and dispersed the crowd.
