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.

Why doesn't Trump want you to see his deals with Big Pharma? Maybe because it's a scam that's loaded with giveaways to drug companies—but no real savings for the American people.

An American president is encouraging an enemy to destroy American cities. This is treason, though he will claim we are not at war.

Federal agents swarmed a protest encampment today, arresting a dozen people and allowing contractors to remove a live protester from, then cut down, an ancient, giant cottonwood "Grandmother Tree" to make way for border wall construction. Protesters had been at the site near Lochiel, AZ for 71 days.

Marc Elias: We all have a role to play, it starts with voting. The more seats Dems win, the larger their margins of victory, and harder for Trump to execute his plans. The weeks before election will be critical, the weeks after even more so. Trump’s told us what he intends to do, take him literally…

From my introduction to the event, summarizing what I learned from this essential book:

I had always believed that the purpose of the Court was to protect the minority against the whims of the majority, And over history, the Justices themselves have wholeheartedly agreed. But which minority? Protecting them from what? And when you think about it, since no population ever has agreed unanimously on everything, the quote "tyranny of the majority," is just a slur for democracy. The people vote on an issue or on candidates, the majority wins, and makes laws. And if laws — made and enacted by a process the Constitution was written to create — can be overturned by just five unelected and unaccountable people, then that is no democracy.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.
