NEW: The U.S. measles outbreak has reached 800 confirmed cases across 24 states, the CDC said Friday—88 more than last week. That’s nearly triple the 285 cases reported in all of 2024. In February, HHS Secretary RFK Jr.—a notorious anti-vaxxer—dismissed the outbreak as “not unusual.”

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

Wait.... (and maga pls help me)... didn't Donald Trump pompously promise that he'd end the war on Ukraine with "one phone call?" and it would be over in 24 hours, as soon as he entered office?
