South Carolina has requested urgent assistance with handling the measles outbreak there.
They did not request it from RFK Jr.βs moribund CDC, but rather the CDC Foundation, which is a nonprofit that is independent of the U.S. government.
RFK Jr. continues to do NOTHING about this outbreak.

I understand why chatbot cheating happens but every time I read about it I want to gently remind everyone that the point of schoolwork is not for the submission to exist. Teachers are not just greedy for more essays or solved equations. The point is to do the work WITH YOUR OWN BRAIN, FOR LEARNING.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.
$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Most ppl are not getting their yearly vaccinations that every single major medical institution has told us all to get every yr since 2021.
~17% of adults & less than 9% of children for 2025-2026.
That is horrible.

A drawing titled "psst genetic engineers: I have a proposal." It shows ten duck species being combined into one best duck, which has a long-tailed duck's tail plumes, a king eider's wing spikes, a hooded merganser's hood, a white-winged scoter's eye markings, a redhead's eye and red head, a ring-necked duck's bill pattern, a northern shoveler's bill shape, a northern pintail's neck pattern, a harlequin duck's blue, and a ruddy duck's upturned tail.
