The GOP has been told not to host in-person town halls—what are they so afraid of? Hearing from their own constituents? Meanwhile, leaders like Tim Walz are stepping up. He’s hosting a town hall in Iowa, not even in his own district, making sure Americans’ voices are heard.

A measles outbreak is growing in a Texas county with dangerously low vaccination rates. Public health practitioners warn such outbreaks will become more common because of scores of laws around the U.S. — pending and passed — that ultimately lower vaccine rates. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

But it’s what happened to Black Americans during the Great Nadir – the period after Reconstruction. “Are we going to enter another Nadir… or continue to pursue an egalitarian society?” #Velshi

Nikole Hannah-Jones: Trump came right ‘out of the gate’ with a racial agenda—not an economic one
In the decades following Reconstruction, the country experienced The Great Nadir-- a period of racial retrenchment and violent enforcement of white power. America is at an inflection point, warns Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones, and faces the risk of slipping into a second Nadir in race relations more than 140 years after the first, which lasted nearly four decades. "We can decide in this moment as Americans: are we going to enter another nadir, or are we going to push back against that and continue to pursue an egalitarian society?"
