A 40-year-old unvaccinated woman in Pennsylvania has just died from measles. There is no controversy. She needlessly died from a disease that is preventable with a vaccine. But HHS Secretary RFK Jr. thinks measles isnโ€™t that bad. Nobody should die of measles in the United States.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has spent his career serving himself and his own interests. Texans deserve better than a crook whoโ€™s willing to break the law and sell out to greedy corporations. Thatโ€™s why this week, weโ€™re adding him to our 2026 Most Corrupt list.

Talarico: I've passed 60 bipartisan bills through the Texas legislature. We're told that it's a choice between people who fight and people who get things done. I think the people of Texas deserve a senator who can do both โ€” and I've shown in the statehouse that I can do both.

Replacing evidence-based scholarship with government-approved narratives isn't patriotism, it's propaganda. History should be written by historians, not politicians trying to reshape the past to fit an ideological agenda.
