Gov. Josh Shapiro: "Measles was eliminated back in the year 2000. And now, 26 years later, we’re dealing with it coming roaring back. Pennsylvania has now eclipsed 1,000 cases across 39 counties, with five deaths." Shapiro says amid the outbreak, vaccinations have now doubled.

It seems like it should be a much bigger deal that Trump just completely fabricated a “deal” that he supposedly brokered between Putin and Zelenskyy to stop bombing energy infrastructure when both Russia and Ukraine denied it and never stopped bombing.

When concerns were raised during the primary about supporting a guy who would chase down a random Blacl person and hold them at gunpoint they were brushed aside, even now the callousness of that act is still thought to have no reflection on his character despite what we know.

The Trump administration hates academic science funding, full stop. They hate where that money goes, and they hate who it goes to. They want to keep all that money for themselves, to hand out to favored cronies who can help them get elected and to steer yet more money and more power back into their hands.

That’s it. That’s the story
