Last year, HHS Secretary RFK Jr. fired all full-time employees in the CDC’s cruise ship sanitation program, gutting the agency’s ability to investigate outbreaks and inspect ships. Now, after a deadly virus outbreak aboard the Dutch cruise ship MV Hondius left three passengers dead, U.S. officials are monitoring possible infections in multiple states as the CDC no longer has a full-time cruise ship sanitation team. Great job, everyone.

More to come with correspondent @AlexHoganTV, who reports that Lucas just showed up on scene as the FBI searches her office.
Preakness announcement
Donald Trump just blocked over 150 wind energy projects across America, killing 30 gigawatts of new power generation. That is enough electricity for nearly 10 million homes. He is doing this while his unauthorized war with Iran sends oil markets into chaos and pushes energy costs higher for every working family in America. Wind already provides 10 percent of our electricity. It powers Republican states like Texas, Iowa, Oklahoma, and North Dakota. American workers build these projects. American landowners profit from them. American grids depend on them. But Trump told us his goal in January. He said he does not want a single wind project built. Now he is using the Pentagon to make it happen, freezing routine military reviews that companies have relied on for years. We are in an energy crisis. Demand is climbing. Prices are rising. And the President is sabotaging American power production because he thinks turbines are ugly. This is not energy policy. It is a personal grudge dressed up as national security, and families across our nation will pay the price. nytimes.com/2026/05/04/cli…
Donald Trump completely detaches from reality. He hallucinates a bizarre conspiracy theory that Barack Obama literally emptied every single bank in three states of physical cash. The US President is in severe cognitive decline and entirely unfit for office. Delusional.
How is this being treated as normal? A Republican governor is declaring a state of emergency to cancel an ongoing election for Congress. If you think this is ends with redistricting, you are not paying attention.
A 3-D model by the @nytimes visualizes the impact of Trump's proposed arch on the sightline between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington House, showing that it would not only dwarf the other memorials but also interfere with the carefully crafted view. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
King Charles told a joint session of Congress: → NATO was there for America after 9/11 → British troops fought in Afghanistan → Ukraine needs our help now → Executive power must have checks and balances → The ice caps are melting → America’s natural wonders need protecting He said everything Democrats have been saying for two years. To a Republican Congress. With a standing ovation. The King of England just out-Americaned America.
