FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Governor Polis Orders Flags to Half-Staff to Honor the Anniversary of September 11th and the Passing of Charlie Kirk

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment.

Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

RFK Jr., anti-vaxxers, and a measles outbreak: Mehdi’s deep dive
YouTube video by MSNBC RFK Jr., anti-vaxxers, and a measles outbreak: Mehdi’s deep dive

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa.

I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

Post showing precipitous decline of share of deaths in Massachusetts from diseases for which vaccines are now available, from 70% in 1840 to low digits % by 1950-60 where it is stayed. 

Caption: There are not many places on earth where we have detailed cause-of-death data from before the era of widespread vaccination.

Massachusetts is one of those places.

From 1842-1877, 70% of all deaths were from diseases which we today have vaccines to prevent.

Anyone who is anti-vax is pro-death. Period. The science and data do not lie. And they don’t care about your podcast.

Non-profit creates opt out forms against State Superintendent Ryan Walters A non-profit called Defense of Democracy has created opt-out forms for parents who want their child to have no interaction with Ryan Walters in any capacity, which includes the recent prayer video.

If you are in Oklahoma or know others that are with school age children, please pass this along to them. Defense of Democracy created opt-out forms for Ryan Walter’s forced bible instruction. Let’s keep getting in good trouble!

Iowa QB Cade McNamara states he has not been cleared after a concussion against Northwestern (10/26) and therefore did not travel for this weekend's game at Maryland.

I’d forgotten Corpas taking over for Fuentes. Fuentes blew too many late season saves and may have had an injury but Corpas was a raw flamethrower that excelled down the stretch. Pure magic. Betancourt had a quirky delivery and Street was very reliable. Love/hated all those guysπŸ˜‚

I was at that #1 Padres play in game. Like second to last row R field. Only knew Hilliday’s triple wasn’t caught by the roar of the crowd. Hugged many strangers! πŸ˜‚Nothing like a Rocktober. Great list.

Kirk Ferentz on his radio show regarding the #Hawkeyes' QB1 against Maryland:

"We're not playing yet, but Jackson (Stratton) looks like the guy that will be going, and he'll get the start. Confident that he'll do a great job. ... If he's our guy, we'll go with him and see what we can do."

Some in the U.S. farm industry are alarmed by Trump's embrace of RFK Jr. and tariffs President-elect Trump won landslide support in much of farm country, but his embrace of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his plan for a tariff fight with China alarms many farmers and agriculture experts.
