Define "irony": DOGE disbanded as a cost-cutting measure.
Millions dead from hunger and malnutrition. Billions wasted. Lost and wasted research. Compromised security. Shame on Elon Musk. Blood on his hands and a legacy of failure.

It's almost certain that RFK Jr. actually thinks that allowing measles to spread unchecked is a good thing, and I really wish that someone could get him on the record saying that in so many words.

Elimination status is lost if the virus spreads continuously for 12 months.

The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

It's always an honor to spend Veterans Day at the Puerto Rican Veterans Memorial in the South End.
Thank you to the over 200,000 Boricuas who have served our country, & to Tony Molina for preserving their legacy.
We're lucky to have this one-of-a-kind memorial here in the #MA7.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.
It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.
He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
