Maryland health officials warn providers about an upsurge in mumps cases
Maryland health officials are warning about an uptick in cases of mumps.
Measles is a bellwether. Because itโs the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, itโs the first to start spreading.
Now weโve got mumps rolling up.
Expect more.
This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.โs successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

One of my best engineers quit yesterday. Not for money. Not for a better title. The exit interview took 4 minutes. He said one sentence, "I'm tired of proving I'm not lazy". This is the engineer who saved us $2mil last quarter. Who fixed the production issue no one else could touch. Who shipped three months early. Last month, we gave him a performance bonus. Yesterday, we sent him a Slack message: "why weren't you available at 9am?" This was the day after he fixed a critical incident at 2am. He didn't give two weeks notice. He said, "I already gave six months". How many of your best people have already quit. They just haven't told you yet.
The only hard work fascist multi-millionaires & billionaires have done is to try & convince workers they are lazy if they aren't working 24/7. That's a big fat lie.

Ultimately, Trump is old news. Even if he lives 10 more years Vance is where the American Maga Nazi party's real focus is. Vance & the fascist billionaires who support him are the real threat.

When will Republicans, veterans organizations, & retired military officers speak up about this? No president in the history of the Republic has done this. Yet Trump, Vance, & Hegseth do it constantly. It betrays the most important core value of our military-no partisan politics.

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.
