A huge outbreak of Measles in South Carolina continues to accelerate and has resulted in hundreds of mostly unvaccinated people being placed in quarantine.
And thanks to fascist republicans, a deranged anti-vax chaos agent like RFK Jr was given the power to destroy US Health.

The Trump retribution campaign against Sen. Mark Kelly's participation in the "must not obey illegal orders" video is a #FAIL. 🤣
The report, per Sen. Roger Wicker, said it wasn’t appropriate to even try to punish Kelly, much less sanction him for sedition or treason.

Just saw my hairdresser who is on Obamacare.
I asked if her premiums went up and she said: "No, they went down $400/month. I was auto-enrolled in Illinois Get Covered, Gov. Pritzker's health insurance program."
Want affordability?
Vote for Democrats.

Trump classifying drug traffickers as terrorists is his blatant attempt to justify going to war. Congress must prevent war with Venezuela. The American people must stand fast against war.

Good morning to everyone but especially Justice Sonia Sotomayor who 👏🏾has 👏🏾time 👏🏾today to eviscerate the argument that Trump has near unlimited power to fire agency heads for political reasons, given that neither English law at the time of the founding nor the US Constitution supports such nonsense

Why hasn't a journalist asked trump
WHAT DOES PUTIN HAVE ON YOU?
RUSSIA IS OUR ENEMY AND HAS BEEN FOR DECADES. WHY ARE YOU ABANDONING A DEMOCRATIC SOVEREIGN NATION LIKE UKRAINE, AND ALLOWING PUTIN TO RAVAGE THEIR COUNTRY?
Why aren't journalists asking him these questions? NATO wants an answer too.
