A year after the first measles cases were reported in Texas, the virus continues to circulate, with outbreaks at the Utah-Arizona border and South Carolina. Now, an international panel of experts must determine whether it will cost the U.S. its designation as a country that eliminated the disease.

Um... No. He wasn't the first time around, and even less so now. This time, though, the people around him aren't able to manage him, much less the country. That assumes the goal was ever anything other than running the country into the ground.
Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

How can we, individuals, help? Support your local food bank? Volunteer at a soup kitchen? Send your grocery order to a food bank? This is a moment to show that when our institutions fail, we can still step up to fill the gap.
One food bank meal is equal to approximately nine meals provided by SNAP — but many food banks are bracing for a surge in demand if millions don’t receive benefits in November due to the government shutdown.
Food banks brace as people face federal aid stoppage: ‘We cannot meet the gap’
Already strained by federal funding cuts earlier in the year and a surge in demand from furloughed federal workers, food banks face a fresh wave of need as SNAP benefits end Saturday.
