As Measles Exploded, Officials in Texas Looked to CDC Scientists. Under Trump, No One Answered. - KFF Health News Trump officials sowed fear and confusion among CDC scientists, slowing their response to the measles outbreak in West Texas. Cases surged and sparked new outbreaks across the U.S. and Mexico. Together...

🚨🧡My latest:

As measles took off in Texas, the Trump administration took actions that prevented CDC scientists from responding.

The outbreak became the biggest in 30 yrs. It’s far larger considering the outbreaks it sparked in other states & Mexico. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

The musical β€œParade,” about the antisemitic lynching of Leo Frank in 1915, comes to the Kennedy Center tonight amid a rise in antisemitic hate.

Kingsley Wilson, the Pentagon Press Secretary, has called Frank a rapist and murderer, echoing language used by neo-Nazis.
