CNN, Politico, and MS NOW aren’t the problem. The problem is a president who can’t handle tough questions. Americans want answers. A free press holds power accountable, keeps information flowing freely, and our democracy depends on it.

A question worth asking: If a president repeatedly violates the Constitution, and enough members of his own party knowingly refuse to use their constitutional powers to restrain him, when does that stop being one president’s failure—and become a crisis of the party’s constitutional legitimacy?

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.
