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.

There is no substantive difference between a government shutdown and what Republicans are already doing and intend to do in the future.

President Trump ordered federal employees to return to the office, repeatedly saying they couldn't be productive from home.

But Trump has signed executive orders and a memorandum from his Mar-a-Lago mansion in Palm Beach, according to an NBC News tracker.

In other words, he's worked from home.
