Texas measles outbreak now at 400 cases and 41 hospitalizations.
It was at 327 cases 3 days ago. Unclear how many of the hospitalizations are due to Vitamin A liver toxicity, as promoted by RFK Jr. The number of actual cases surely exceeds 1,000 at this point

Why is everything so dumb
Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.
Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research
President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

The goods we export from Oregon help our economy thrive. Trump’s tariffs will raise costs for consumers and be a disaster for the state’s farmers, fishing industry, wine producers, semiconductor manufacturers, lumber yards, and more.

As tariffs take hold, here’s a summary of Oregon’s biggest imports and exports
President Donald Trump on Tuesday imposed tariffs on imported goods from major trading partners Canada, Mexico and China — and that could send shockwaves through Oregon’s economy.

HHS has ordered CDC to stop its influenza vaccine “Wild to Mild” media campaign. This is an award-winning campaign that effectively explains how influenza vaccine may not prevent infection but does decrease illness severity. We are currently having one of the worst influenza seasons in 15 years.
