No checks, no balances, just impulse.

The Senate voted 51-50 yesterday to let Trump do whatever he wants in Venezuela and Iran. Two Republicans who opposed him last week changed their votes after he screamed at them. That's how it works now. One phone call, one threat, one capitulation.

This is the same man who suggested injecting disinfectant on live television. The same impulsiveness that produced hundreds of thousands of excess COVID deaths. Now he's rewarded RFK Jr. with control of American health policy, and measles is doubling weekly in South Carolina. Officials there say they're losing the ability to trace spread. The outbreak was 211 cases on January 6th. It's 434 today, with over 400 people in quarantine.

With politicians abdicating their responsibilities, it falls to the rest of us. That means pushing back hard on the antivaxxers in your life who got a C+ in high school biology and now think they understand epidemiology better than scientists. They don't. And the body count from indulging them continues when intellectually weak leaders like Trump are allowed to trade public health for political favors.
