Alan Dershowitz will testify on the Epstein files to a House committee, the measles outbreak continues to spread, and more.

Hi there,

It’s Thursday. Donald Trump is trying to fast-track the arch he wants built near Arlington Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial. FBI officials are seizing evidence at the California plant where a chemical tank overheated and forced residents to evacuate.

And the United States is experiencing a major measles resurgence, with over 2,200 cases surging across multiple states and public health officials warning that decades of progress against a preventable disease are being reversed. This outbreak is not simply a public health story—it is a warning about the consequences of undermining trust in vaccines and weakening the institutions responsible for protecting public health.

As Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. now bears responsibility for leading the nation’s response. Yet too much media coverage treats the outbreak as an unfortunate development rather than examining the policy failures and anti-vaccine rhetoric that helped create the conditions for it.

The public deserves reporting that follows the facts, identifies accountability, and explains how preventable diseases are making a dangerous comeback.
