🚨Measles cases in the US surge 35% in ONE WEEK—now at 222 in 12 states.
We’re nearing last year’s TOTAL of 285, and it’s only March. Two deaths already, both unvaccinated. Texas is the epicenter with 198 cases.
The CDC’s weekly data lags, so the numbers are likely even higher.

This was entirely predictable, and in fact previewed by Trump long before the election, but oil industry enthusiasm for him seemed genuine. Are leases and deregulation (both reversible in 4 years) worth more than losing major export markets and dealing with other business costs of trade wars?
