I live in the south and love the hot summer weather. It was 100 degrees earlier when I was heading home from a meeting. And now, at 7:51 PM, it’s 91 degrees with a heat index of 108. That’s legitimately hot, but y’all, it’s so hot the junebugs are dropping dead mid-flight. Damn.

This is a major win for public health.

On Friday, a memorandum signed by Marco Rubio called for a 90-day cessation of foreign aid. That would likely put on hold the work of PEPFAR, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.
