I don't think it's premature at this point to say that America has lost its measles elimination status.
We've been in a continuous outbreak state for coming on a year now; measles cases were previously typically introduced exposure from abroad, at this point it's clearly endemic to the US again.

The South Carolina measles outbreak is growing at an astounding speed
More than 500 people are in a 21-day quarantine and about 200 are "actively infected." The largest outbreak currently in the U.S. has spread to at least three other states

As a dumbass child growing up in Texas, this was the image I always had of New York. The melting pot, the best of America, the American Dream, people who loved their city and would fight for it. It turns out that's what a lot of people want too, and will still fight for it
I’m starting to wonder if looking genuinely happy and acting like you really love the city is a more effective way to campaign (and govern) than scowling about what a shithole the city is and how many more cops it will take to subdue it.
Outside Gracie Mansion. This is his job. But dare I day it he seems genuinely affected and happy to be there. There’s potentially immense power in that.
