Trump is threatening to withhold money for school lunches and funding to help kids with disabilities unless schools get rid of their requirement to get a measles vaccine

A lot of empty seats in that stadium. Very prominently empty.

JFC. If anything can come roaring back with a societal "haha lmao fuck you, you didn't ever really win" it's measles.

OTOH Trump has said he wants to abolish the Department of Education and devolve responsibility for schools to the states. So either that abolition is a lie, or the vaccine mandate federal funding cut is a lie. They can't both be true.
