Morning in Kyiv. A drone attack has been going on. From time to time, I hear our air defence. I ground coffee beans, warcoffee is brewing. During the night, there were also missiles. Damage in the city, casualties, and I’m waiting for my coffee to brew.

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.

USA: The Trump administration is considering dropping the requirement for nursing homes to report weekly COVID-19 and other respiratory illness numbers.🤦‍♂️ Source: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/b... Archive: archive.li/Egp5l
Screenshot of a New York Times article dated September 23, 2026, headlined “Trump Officials May Undo Nursing Home Mandates for Reporting Covid.” The subheading says the agency led by Dr. Mehmet Oz is proposing an end to weekly tracking of respiratory infections at nursing homes, where thousands of elderly residents died during the pandemic. A photo shows a man pushing a resident in a wheelchair down a nursing-home hallway. The caption notes that more than 200,000 nursing home residents and staff died after COVID infection during the peak pandemic years. Article by Christopher Rowland and Carolyn Y. Johnson.

Funniest part to me is Jack Smith using 110% of his lawyer brain. He avoids making the connection himself; he doesn't even say "Hawkeyes," he just says "Iowa." He knows it's better to let everyone figure it out on their own. He also knows from Klobuchar's grin that she'll dunk it for him.
