The United States has recorded its highest annual measles cases in 33 years. The milestone marks a public health reversal in defeating a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease as the anti-vaccine movement gains strength.

So LM get this straight… Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison for trafficking girls to… nobody? No client list, even though AG Pam Bondi literally said it was sitting on her desk. 2,000 names in the little black book, but the court sealed it and the media shut up.

Hey @joerogan — don’t just podcast about it, go to the White House and tell your boy to stop. You helped start this, help stop it.

Beshear: "These work requirements really aren't getting people back to work. They are about increasing the paperwork on everybody ... when somebody misses that one box, they are kicked off for six months or more."

Salt Lake City! Next week I will be talking with the fabulous Shima Baughman at Weller Book Works at 6:30 pm local time! Come join us for what I’m sure is going to be an engaging and informative conversation. The link for more info is below! www.wellerbookworks.com/event/2025-0...
