The appropriate response is impeachment, the first time, every time. Again and more are words that should never occur on this subject but this President and his coconspirators have been attacking our democracy constantly for a decade and we haven’t gotten around to protecting it yet.

RFK Jr. thinks that getting measles is no big deal, and points to the low death rate to support this asinine opinion. Besides the fact that these deaths are preventable, he ignores hospitalizations and immune amnesia, which can erase immunity to other pathogens that people have already built up.

With less people applying and fewer eligible for SNAP, impacts will be felt across communities in many, many different forms. If you can, locate and stay connected with your local food bank or food pantry to find out how best to help.
