Measles and whooping cough are highly preventable with vaccination.
Sadly none of the children or their mothers were vaccinated.

Over a quarter of Trump's proposed $1T military budget would go to just four companies who have spent $103B in taxpayer dollars on stock buybacks and dividends over the last decade.

Not a fan of MTG but no one deserves to be forced to resign because of fear. I listened to her reasoning for departing & she sounded spot on. I found her reference to "battered wife syndrome" particularly revealing. This didn't happen in the last 2 days. She's been feeling this way for a long time
