📍“I AM AFRAID FOR MY STATE”—On July 12, Dr. Michelle Fiscus, the top vaccine official in Tennessee, was fired. She was scapegoated to appease Republicans angry about efforts to vaccinate kids.

When our billionaires get tired of going to space, maybe they can try doing the other things our government did in the 1960s, like protect voting rights or help expand health care.
