Heat map of measles cases across the US in shades of blue. The darkest state is Texas with 250+ cases, then New Mexico with 50-99 cases. California, Kansas, Oklahoma, Ohio, and Pennsylvania have 10-49 cases.
Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York City, New York State, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington each have 1-9 cases.
βItβs frustrating because we have the solution.β
As of 5/8 there are 1,001 confirmed measles cases across 30 US states. 709 are in TX. We are probably confirming ~1 in 3 cases meaning the true number is closer to 3000 at minimum. There are 922 confirmed cases across the border in Chihuahua, Mexico

βThat they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francisβs coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,β said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. βThey are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.β
The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late popeβs mission of inclusion and outreach.

Others, including local attorney Jack Birch, questioned why Prologis couldnβt work with the local power company to extend power lines to a less objectionable, urban site.
βAll we have to do is get some right of way and extend some power linesβa minor inconvenience as opposed to putting this monstrosity in the middle of the most productive farmland in our county,β Birch said.

An eyewitness said that the U.S.βs March attack on the Houthis, detailed in the Signal security breach, killed women and children, including a newborn baby. Did the Trump Administration have the authority to make the strikes, and was the intelligence reliable?
