Today we learned the sad news another kid died from measles in Texas.
We also learned what RFK Jr. will and will not say
And we got a clearer glimpse of the playbook being used to discredit the proven measures to tackle measles outbreaks
Let me tell you why I'm worried 🧵
Some day in the future, people will wonder why an outbreak ran amok, why a promising cancer therapy didn't make it the last mile, why the safeguards in our communities don't seem to be what they were. And it will trace back to this.
Not papercuts - jugular lacerations.

RIP ❤️ Professor Kiah Duggins was among those lost in the mid-air plane collision at Reagan National Airport. Professor Duggins was set to begin a new chapter as a professor at Howard University School of Law this fall. May her memory be a blessing.

I am beyond honored that my neighbors have chosen me to be the next congresswoman for Oregon’s Fifth Congressional District.
I am also proud to be the first – but not the last – Black Member of Congress from Oregon.
If “please let us get emergency abortions” is your ask, you are asking for less than we had BEFORE Roe. I’m not saying this isn’t an important ask, but I am saying that Roe—a middling victory—was achieved by demanding far more.
If you are putting the blame on protestors for losing this election then you aren’t actually paying attention.
Grieve, rest, debrief, strategize, build.
Dems did everything we could to stop him last time. Restrain him. Keep things functioning *as normal.*
I don’t think we should this time. He won. This is what the people voted for. This is what people want. They should get it. It’s the only way people will learn.
