Major new measles outbreaks ongoing in states nationwide prompting quarantines in schools. I’ve gotten several inquiries on booster guidance for Measles. We reviewed the recommendations this morning for @msnbc.com

American designer Joe Doucet has developed a pigment that changes color, depending on the temperature. It could be a game changer for people living in the world's temperate zones. cnn.it/4dRBStY

While Republicans hide, Cory Booker shows up and gives his constituents a voice. Who’s cutting onions?

❗️America has come out to protest against Trump: thousands of protesters have already filled the streets of Boston.

The Pentagon has initiated an investigation, including polygraph tests, to find leakers after Elon Musk called for the prosecution of Defense Department officials spreading "maliciously false information" about his dealings with the military

Ukraine has successfully destroyed a Russian $10 million Buk-M1 surface-to-air missile system. This very system was used by Russian terrorists in 2014 to shoot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, tragically killing 298 civilians from 17 countries. Justice in action!

Snowflakes alert.

Leavitt: "We want to restore the Department of Justice to an institution that focuses on fighting law and order."

This is how people counter dumb executive orders…a great story. www.cbsnews.com/news/concert...

So True!!

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

Elon Musk calling astronaut and U.S. veteran Mark Kelly a "traitor" proves once again what a disgraceful, morally bankrupt scumbag he is. No respect for those who served—just empty arrogance.

Federal judges hearing Trump administration litigation have increasingly gone beyond the case at hand to reflect on potential threats to democracy or offer dramatic assertions about the state of America.

Bravo, Williams & Connolly.

⚡️ Ukraine found ways to counter Russia’s glide bombs, once seen as unstoppable. Reports say Ukrainian jammers disrupt their navigation.

The collapse of America as a trusted ally in just six weeks is quite the story. 70% of Brits see France as an ally but fewer than half see the US that way, and this is in a country that had a so-called special relationship. In Germany only 23% see the US as an ally, 24% in France.

Way to go @dickssportinggoods.bsky.social!

How ominous are economic indicators? Well, this is what they’re saying on *Fox* these days: “The boom times are over.” “We are sliding towards a recession.” “The jobs picture is weakening!” Via @gregsargent.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1925...

France and the UK will keep providing intelligence to Ukraine to fill the gap left by US. French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu: "Our intelligence is sovereign... with our own capacities. We are passing this on to the Ukrainians" #StandWithUkraine

🤔 🇨🇳 Beijing's EU envoy "appalled" by Trump's treatment of allies, says peace in Ukraine must not be dictated by US and Russia only

🚨 French satellite operator Eutelsat is in talks with the EU to replace Starlink terminals in Ukraine amid disruption concerns, per Bloomberg. CEO Eva Berneke says it aims to supply 40,000 military-grade and standard terminals within "a couple of months."

That’s right. 🇺🇦

Your new allies

JD Vance upon meeting Zelenskyy: “have you ever said thank you once?” King Charles III upon meeting Zelenskyy: “we’ve all been worried about you for so long." Real quotes.

Let this sink in. NPR has a smaller budget than Space.

Winston Churchill in the White House… Not wearing a suit because he is at war.

History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

Zelensky today:

Some have disappointed, some have bad policy, some made big mistakes. But I’ve never in my life been ashamed of American leaders. Until today.

Moscow DC.

Is America going to pay back European militaries for helping it in its invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan? We want 500 billion back too.

Secretary of Defense Hegseth says he doesn’t know if Russia invaded Ukraine. This you?

Love this. It should not be limited to this term. But it’s a great step forward. Now @khanna.house.gov and other house members need to make the media tour , including Fox News, to talk about it @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

I'm old enough to remember when Americans weren't terrified of flying airplanes due to preventable collisions. That was 2024 when Trump wasn't President and Musk wasn't running the show.

In reality the US has only given $30 billion to Ukraine, the monetary worth of the weapons and nukes Ukraine gave up based on the legal agreement that the US would protect it from aggression is nearly $50 billion. The US failed abide the agreement and owes Ukraine money, not the other way around.
