The President sees a bad jobs report, and responds by getting rid of the person in charge of the statistics. This is how America becomes a third-rate country.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.
Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Anti-trans activists acknowledged there are 17+ studies showing improved mental health with gender-affirming medical interventions for adolescent gender dysphoria, but kept saying they want more long-term data
The Trump administration just banned all research in this area

Measles
If you were born between 1957-1968, your MMR vax was less effective than what came later & you may need boosting.
If you were born before ~1984, there's a small chance it may no longer be protecting you & you may need boosting.
I just messaged my doc to ask re: a "titer test" to find out.

I think the real triggering factor will be when somebody doesn't get their social security check...not because SS has been "canceled" but because DOGE messed up their systems so badly they aren't sure they can get payments out on time.
SS has NEVER missed a payment.
