Democrats should boycott the State of the Union. Democrats keep calling this man a unique and dangerous threat, but never ACT like it.
For once, Democrats' *actions* should match their words.

The Democrats Should Boycott Trump’s Speech to Congress This Week
Refusing to attend the speech would be the first indication that Democrats are not just playing politics—and playing them badly—but resisting.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children. Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. “Are you feeling all right?” I asked her. “I feel all sleepy,” she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.

The planes in America are definitely doing a “Fall of the House of Usher” thing, right?
Tweet from @margbrennan: Glad to be safely on firm ground back at Joint base Andrews. We were on board Secretary Rubio's plane about 90 minutes into our flight to Germany when we had to turn around due to mechanical issues. The cockpit windshield cracked triggering the Air Force pilots to fly us back slowly and at lower altitude to return to the base. Thanks to the cool headed pilots!

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Keldon and Reylene met WCK’s team as soon as we landed in Lucinda, a small Queensland town cut off by severe flooding. They were relieved to receive meals. Damaged roads mean support can be slow to reach small, rural communities like this, so WCK’s helicopter was a welcome site. #ChefsForAustralia
