This is objectively psychotic and every member of Congress and Senate should be ashamed if they don’t try to remove him from office before this happens

This is petty and least important aspect of this but: I reported on this years ago and the trump campaign falsely denied the reporting, and now via Hegseth they’re just doing it. Monstrous

US measles cases hit their highest level since 1991 • 2025: 2,289 cases • 2026: 3,887 cases (Oct 1) • Under 5s: 26% • Ages 5–19: 44% • Ages 20+: 29% • 95% unvaccinated or vaccination status unknown Major outbreaks reported in Texas, Utah, South Carolina and Pennsylvania.
An Associated Press infographic titled "Measles cases are surging across the United States" shows a colour-coded map of confirmed measles cases by state as of Oct. 1, 2026.
A legend on the right outlines six colour tiers:
•	0 cases: White
•	1-9: Pale pink
•	10-49: Light red
•	50-99: Medium red
•	100-499: Darker red
•	500+: Bright solid red
The map shows cases across most of the US. Utah is shaded dark red (100-499), while Texas, Florida, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and California are in the 50-99 tier. A handful of states, like Nevada, are white (0).
The map credits the CDC as its source. At the bottom, bylines credit Jonathan Poet and Phil Holm, published at 3:31 AM GMT+11, October 8, 2026.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.
