On a daily basis, I marvel at how many people in putative positions of power are willing to help obliterate American democracy. The US has faced a series of very easy moral tests in the past decade and it’s staggering how often people in once-respected positions have failed.

The Social Security Administration has removed an option for recipients to confirm their identifying information over the phone, meaning 4.4 million people will need to visit an agency office in person. Huge cuts reducing staff and closing dozens of offices across the country are also being made.
Millions Will Face Benefit Delays and Other Hurdles as Social Security Ends Phone Verification

How can it be legal for a sitting Commerce Secretary to pimp stock owned by a senior advisor to the President or whatever the fuck he's calling himself? I'm not nuts, right? This can't be legal.
The Trump administration certainly has a knack for helping American lose their money.

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.
The average person with the flu gives it to around 1.4 people. The average person with measles gives it to between 12 and 18 people.
Measles cases continue to surge globally, putting millions of children at risk.
More than 10 million people globally were infected with measles in 2023, a 20% increase from the previous year.
