Boy, 7, dies of brain condition caused by world’s most contagious disease β€” years after he had it as a baby Even those who make a full recovery from the initial infection face a lurking threat: a deadly disease that remains latent until striking β€” and killing β€” years later.

California boy dies of SSPE (measles complication) after being infected at age 7 months, when he was too young to be vaccinated.

I have literally watched something like 5 hours of this DOGE bro testimony. I'm completely obsessed, it's weirdly captivating. The circular arguments, the disdain from everyone involved, a true pleasure to watch

OPINION: I asked a former Trump official to justify this war

So the case for Congress is, once we have gone to war, if they don’t like it, they can remove the money?

Congress does not have a constitutional role in the declaration of war. Congress has a role in cutting off funds for wars, which it has threatened to do. And the president doesn’t have to get permission.

But yes, you can debate, you can decide. That’s his choice in how he wants to do it.

I mean, here I will quote the Constitution: β€œThe Congress shall have power to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water.”

WOW. Rep. Glenn @ivey.house.gov: I just got back from Selma for the Bloody Sunday anniversary. We toured old slave quarters, they looked like what we just saw upstairs [in ICE holding facility]. In fact, they might've been a little bit better than what we saw upstairs."

I have been accused of being a nerd and of being able to share fertilizer, but few seem to regard those as a double positive. =( =)

Chart from linked article, showing what % of of each major fertilizer type (nitrogen, phosphorus, & potassium) the US imports, 2000-2024.

N has gone down from 21% imported to 6%. Phosphorus is a little up from 2% to 13%. Potassium has gone from 76% to 94%.

The US already makes 96% of the N fertilizer we use.

The fertilizer we import the most is POTASSIUM. Which we get from CANADA.

When we import phosphorus, we get 98% of it from PERU. Not Iran.

So the reason we've had trouble getting those is TARIFFS.

A refresher on what Rubio once said about the Jan. 6 insurrection that Tarrio helped provoke:

"3rd world style anti-American anarchy"

β€œdisgusting”

β€œunpatriotic"

β€œinexcusable”

"national embarrassment"

"one of the saddest days in our history"
