Rep support for "a law that legalizes same-sex marriage throughout the US" was just 30% in 2022. So we're sampling error away from this one. I wouldn't say change.

On today’s front page: @fenitn.bsky.social went to rural West Texas, epicenter of a worsening measles outbreak that has already claimed the life of an unvaccinated child.

NEW: Nick Enrich, acting asst admin for USAID Global Health, was just placed on administrative admin leave by Trump admin. It comes after he shared a memo with USAID staff, including those on leave/fired saying it’s been impossible to implement Rubio’s waivers for lifesaving aid

The Trump official currently dismantling USAID was caught in a secret meeting with a group of pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans.
