If Republicans don’t care when children are killed by preventable gun violence in schools, they also aren’t going to care when they die of preventable illnesses like measles.
This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated.
The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations
The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

Donald Trump's executive order would make it harder for millions to register to vote, would disenfranchise voters Trump doesn't like, and give power to election deniers to overturn elections they don't win.
This is the greatest threat to democracy right now and it must be stopped.
