Thanks RFK and Trump.
SCOOP: CDC officials on Monday linked for the first time the measles outbreak that began in Texas with another in Utah and Arizona, a finding that could end America’s status as a nation that has eliminated measles.

FWIW, I don't believe anyone has filed an Emoluments suit against Trump this term
The suits pending in the first term were tossed as moot after he lost. Never even got a definitive ruling on standing.

The failure of legal actions to fight corruption at the highest levels of government reinforces the need for legislation and other congressional actions. Our latest report offers recommendations for strengthening the Constitution’s Emoluments Clauses: bit.ly/3XdgCaq
Codifying the Constitution’s Emoluments Clauses
To prevent corruption, the Constitution prohibits the president and other officials from receiving untoward benefits. Congress, however, must take action to enable enforcement.

This is rape culture.
This is why so many people don’t come forward.
A young girl was being bullied at school by a boy who made AI generated nudes of her.
She told the principal. She told the guidance counsellor. They didn’t stop it.
Finally she hit the boy responsible, and SHE got expelled:

Missouri’s referendum on minimum wage and paid sick leave last year won by a margin of 58 to 42 percent statewide. Under a proposal advanced by the GOP, it would have failed because it didn’t win more than 50 percent in every congressional district.

Car loan delinquencies are a big problem. Student debt is at a record high, too. This isn’t sustainable.
A nation weighed down by so much debt cannot thrive. 50-year mortgages definitely aren’t the answer.

I think we need to start visualizing the Trump Presidency ending, and socialize it. For it is the right thing to do for the country and the American people.
At this point we have to assume that if the Epstein files are released they will
- end the Trump Presidency
- implicate many other prominent Republicans
- destroy the careers of AG Bondi and his other defenders
This is beginning to feel like the greatest scandal in American history.

Trump has done enormous harm to the country.
He is a deeply corrupt and venal man.
He is wildly unpopular, his agenda more so. He's lost the consent of the governed.
He is old, infirm & clearly no longer mentally competent to run a nation.
It is time now to start talking about him moving on👇
