"That is really at the end what judges should do, but in the end it's what every citizen should do: ensure that the courts are fearlessly independent."

Make no mistake, this new Republican spending bill is the legal equivalent of thousands of Trump supporters storming the Capitol to take what they want and destroy everything else in the process.
Nothing has changed. They just evolved their game.

And measles infection but NOT vaccination induces “immune amnesia” meaning that 20%-70% of B-cell memory is erased after infection- This is one of the reasons why measles vaccination is crucial—not only does it prevent measles, but it also helps maintain overall immune protection.
It used to be that hundreds of kids died from measles every year.
RFK Jr: "It used to be that everybody got measles. And the measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection. The vaccine doesn't do that ... it used to be that very young kids were protected by breast milk. Women who get vaccinated do not provide that level of immunity."
