NEW: Measles had become so rare in the U.S. that doctors had never seen a case. Now they’re treating adults w severe pneumonia, pregnant women + babies infected before or shortly after birth.
What docs are seeing as measles spreads again. My story 1/3

Hello! A journalism ask: I am looking to speak with a reproductive justice advocate who lives in Georgia to talk about Keisha Lance Bottoms’ win. My deadline is Monday, so I would love to talk with someone ASAP.
Please reply here or email me at [email protected].

HHS is like a hijacked plane. Career scientists silenced by clout and money chasing operatives focused on retribution. AI bot-style CDC director smiling on the outside while being complicit in the demise of public health. We need guardrails to build a new public health—Congress can do that.

Breaking: Gov. Brian Kemp just said he will *not* call a special legislative session to redraw Georgia’s political boundaries or limit the powers of Gov.-elect Keisha Lance Bottoms. @ajc #gapol

Unambiguous wins for reproductive freedom tonight: after voting for Trump in 2024, Georgia has elected a Democratic governor and senator.
Where Ossoff has led on reproductive health in the U.S. Senate, Bottoms campaigned heavily on addressing the state’s worsening maternal health crisis, which disproportionately harms Black women. Bottoms—the first Black woman governor in the U.S. and the first female governor of Georgia—wins in a state where multiple Black women were killed by the state’s abortion ban.

Dr. El-Sayed is a fighter for our American Constitution, he’s a fighter for our American Democracy, and he’s a fighter against the corrupt, lawless, and anti-American leadership currently in the White House. That’s why I’m in his corner 100%.

It's 80 degrees in Atlanta the day before Halloween. Don't vote for the guy who owns data centers.

Do NOT trust the polls. A blue wave won't happen unless you personally make it happen. Vote and encourage everyone you know to vote.

I join @jmaxlevin, @DrRon81, @phastings14, @ps_onlyconnect, and Ted Love in urging @VivekGRamaswamy to immediately withdraw his disgusting and completely misleading ad on Amy Acton.
Industry leaders must speak out when this type of travesty occurs….
Especially since Vivek is from our industry.

New: Accenture has told employees it will only fund $29 per month of Claude use. Meaning that employees who often spend as much as $1,000 a month are now scrambling to find ways to keep access to the tool. A sign of the continuing crack down of AI 404media.co/accenture-tells-…
