These downstream effects of so-called MAHA's anti-vaccine policies are spreading. Measles, which had been eliminated for in the U.S. for decades, is now on the rise. Hopefully the District's public health infrastructure can handle it. Can CDC be counted on to help?
People of DC, more than two weeks into being totally iced in, now get news of measles spread—brought in by Right to Life marchers.

Honoring history, not trying to erase it as the current U.S. administration has been doing.
Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one.
Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday that demands made by Democrats for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic” and warned that the Department of Homeland Security will shut down next week if they do not work with Republicans and the White House.

An American gulag. Illegal, unconstitutional, and must be dismantled.
‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

ICE and CBP are terrorizing our communities and trampling on the Constitution. I wrote a bill to give Americans legal tools to sue and hold lawless agents accountable.
Exclusive: Democrat’s bill would let people sue ICE over misconduct
It’ll be a nonstarter for the Republicans, but will demonstrates the scale of change Democrats now believe is needed.

Let’s see if one single pundit who said there was some great realignment of American sentiment with this last election, based on what they saw on the Nazi-owned platform overrun by foreign actors, offers any retractions or corrections for their gullibility.
It’s hilarious and revelatory that a bunch of giant MAGA/America First X accounts are actually based in Eastern Europe and Nigeria.

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

Hoping for the best but clearly there are reasons the best-case scenario may not be how things work out.
Having an anti-vax person in charge of public health is pretty terrible. On the pod, I asked former senior HHS official Stephanie Psaki what she fears could hit us in the next few years, and the answer was very harrowing.

So, they are
- illegally dismantling US govt, disabling Congress
- burning our alliances, turning US into global pariah
- reigniting inflation, exploding the deficit, unraveling US public health system
- putting backdoors into Treasury
This feels more like an attack on the US than a new government.
