If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

Crockett: He wants there to be a portion of the budget that goes up to $1 trillion on the defense side. They have failed the very last seven audits. So why would they continue to get raises, which they always do. Yet we're going to hurt the most vulnerable amongst us.

Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent measles. Two doses of the MMR vaccine are 97% effective against measles. If you're wondering if you should get (re)vaccinated against measles, here is a helpful chart.
