    Whatever Dotard is so freaked about, enough to drag Boobert into the Situation Room with the Attorney General and FBI Director (Jesus, still can’t believe that one happened)…. How is whatever is in there that is so damaging still in existence? These people will obviously do whatever they are told. Why hasn’t anything that damaging for Trump not yet been taken care of?

     

    Multiple agencies with multiple copies, along with what the  counsel had.  Kash could clean up his copy, but then when someone else produces something Kash didn't...

    The speeches will be held in such states as Texas, Florida, Ohio and South Carolina, at vetted Trump-friendly venues and communities.  Upon the conclusion of this "tour" he will state it was the greatest tour of speeches any politican has ever given, even surpassing the Gettysburg Address.

    Texas fought to ‘protect medical freedom.’ Turns out whooping cough is exercising its freedom too.

    Texas is currently seeing four times the number of whooping cough cases compared to the same time last year, the state’s health department said in a health alert.

    The state has reported more than 3,500 cases this year. This is the second year that Texas has experienced high increases in whooping cough cases.

    Nationally, whooping cough cases have been higher in the past two years than levels seen in prior years and pre-pandemic.

    In 2024, the United States experienced roughly six times as many cases compared to 2023, CDC data shows. Cases remain elevated this year but appear to have been trending down since a peak seen last winter, the CDC says.

    Federal public health data systems have not been updated amid the government shutdown. The latest available CDC numbers from the end of September show the country has had at least 20,939 pertussis cases so far this year. In comparison, 21,391 cases were reported at the same time last year.

     

    Spoiler

    The higher numbers of cases in recent years come as vaccination rates for whooping cough have steadily dropped, CDC data shows. Roughly 92.1% of kindergarteners were vaccinated against whooping cough in the 24-25 school year, compared to about 95% before the pandemic started.

    Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is a very contagious respiratory illness caused by a type of bacteria. People can spread the bacteria from the start of symptoms and for at least 2 weeks after coughing begins. It may begin like a common cold; however, coughing can last for weeks or months. Treatment with antibiotics early on makes the infection less serious.

    Data from medical records show Nebraska, Idaho, Oregon and Hawaii are the states with the highest rates across the country, according to more recent data from Epic Research.

    Doctor visits, emergency room visits and hospitalizations remain lower than at the peak seen last winter, the data shows.

    Disney’s spat with Google’s YouTube TV over a new content distribution contract is costing the entertainment giant $4.3 million a day in lost revenue, Morgan Stanley estimates.

    That’s $30 million a week as the blackout of channels including ABC and ESPN stretches into its 12th day, Variety reports, though the analysts expect Disney and Google to reach a resolution by the end of the week. The dispute is also costing Google — Variety reports that a Drive Research survey of 1,100 US consumers found 24 percent canceled or planned to cancel their subscriptions.

    More than 20 Disney-owned channels went dark on YouTube TV after their contract expired at 11:59 PM ET on October 30th. While Google accuses Disney of pulling its channels from YouTube TV as a “negotiating tactic,” and says its terms would rise prices for YouTube TV customers, Disney says Google is “refusing to pay fair rates” for its content. Google has been giving $20 credits to its subscribers during the blackout, but it remains to be seen which will end first: the Disney-Google blackout or the government shutdown.
