A country of Rapists, Pedophiles, and Sexual Assaulters is disgusting. The GOP nominating and supporting them for election says a lot about the party. This 2024 rape case should be headline news, but Cornell shuts it down. How is this any different from Brett Kavanaugh?

Are we great yet? A very important part of this story is the effects from measles 5 years later. Archived link to page without paywall in comments. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.
