4,588 measles cases in 2026. The US has now DOUBLED its 2025 total, with more than two months to go. RFK Jr. and his fellow antivaxxers must share the blame. Contrary to their lies, vaccines don't cause autism. They prevent disease. Link in 1st comment.

A normal White House would instantly fire any staffer who used such language. But not this White House. Trump despises people with disabilities such as Down Syndrome. xitter.cf/RapidResponse47/status…

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

Private-equity firms have built large national chains of autism clinics. Critics say they give more priority to billable hours than to actual outcomes. autismpolicyblog.com/2026/10…

40% of our exports go to Canada, so why are we in a trade war? Ask the Chair of Senate Foreign Relations.

Republican pols have too often sided with the antivaxxers. Two doctors who served as GOP House members warn that this stance will hurt their party in the midterm, just 2 weeks away Vaccines don't cause autism. They prevent illness. Receipts in 1st comment.

Harmeet Dhillon and her minions at DOJ are undercutting the Olmstead decision, which has protected Americans with disabilities. This move could also affect transition plans for students in special education. edweek.org/teaching-learning…

President Zelensky refusing to surrender 20% of his country to Russia is not an “obstacle.” Russia demanding 20% of Ukraine is. You’re welcome. And #SlavaUkraïni

Last week, reported US measles cases grew 8%, or 330 cases. That’s more than the total in all of 2024. Worse, many cases probably go unreported. Can't say it enough: vaccines don't cause autism. They prevent illness and death.
