Some of these 1,500+ kids will go on to suffer from these long-term, disabling effects. Which are entirely preventable.

Also, what parent has time for a quarantine?

Your reminder—or maybe no one ever told you—that complications from a measles infection include immune amnesia (where you lose immunity to everything), vision and hearing loss, brain damage, and a fatal brain disease called Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis that can show up years later.

Hundreds of children in multiple states are in quarantine and on remote learning due to measles outbreaks.

The decline in MMR vaccinations has resulted in the US experiencing an increase of measles cases with 1563 total cases & 3 deaths since January.

Chicago Mayor Johnson: It's very clear that this is not about crime. This is not about immigration. This is about a president who wants to enact authoritarianism in this country. That's why I'm doing everything in my power to defend the people of this city and to protect our democracy and humanity.

VA Gov. candidate Spanberger: When I served as an agent at CIA and then in Congress, I always put Virginians first. As governor, I will do the same thing. When we are seeing attacks on Virginia's health care, workforce, and tariffs wreaking havoc, my opponent has put her allegiance to Trump first

Soybean farmer: We're not doing well at all as an industry. We have zero sales on the books of this new crop to the Chinese, who are our biggest export customer historically. And right now, with them being a big zero in the purchase column, that's a five-alarm fire for our industry.

Republicans continue to postpone the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, the newest Democrat elected to Congress, for a tenth day.

Her day one promise is to be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

Mamdani: Trump ran on three promises. He ran on the punishment of his political enemies, easing the cost of living crisis, and mass deportation. It's that second promise that brought so many to his campaign. Yet he's unwilling to deliver on that because he's beholden to billionaires

Gov. Pritzker: They set up dozens of cameras for social media. And they used all of that footage to turn it into this sort of adventure looking thing. And the result is traumatized children. We've got elderly people held for hours. We've got an entire community who's wondering, are they next?

Earlier this year, I interviewed Jacob Hurwitz, co-founder of American Trench. They mostly sell directly to consumers. To pay for the marketing, packaging, customer service, and other costs associated with retailing, Hurwitz says direct-to-consumer fashion models have to mark-up at least 3x.

The store is also in the business to make a profit. Their typical mark-up is 2x (many stores nowadays operate on 2.2x or 2.5x). This covers their cost of rent, utilities, maintenance, packaging, visual merchandising, fixtures, payroll, etc.

That means the consumer will pay $180 for the shirt.
A clothing store. There are some shirts hanging on the wall.
