It just hit me that across every dimension Trump is destroying a full century of human progress. Free trade, the norm against aggression, vaccines and public health, desegregation, victory against fascism and ethno-nationalism. All onto the bonfire. One of the greatest criminals in history.

I’m sorry but this isn’t getting enough attention.
When RFK Jr. was asked about a young child who died of measles in Texas, he responded “It's not unusual. We have measles outbreaks all the time.”
This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.

They want to empower the predators to inquire about girl’s genitalia so they can oppress trans people. They are obsessed with this to a dangerous degree.
These questions and inspections can be done WITHOUT the parents present. This bill isn’t about fairness in sports, it gives power to predators and pedophiles. We must protect children. This bill is disgusting and puts every girl in this country at risk.

Note to reporters, editors and headline writers working on Russia and Ukraine: the ATACMS is a short-range (tactical) missile, not a long-range missile. This consistent error generates a misleading impression and should be corrected.
