A new report from the U.K. Law Commission has large implications.

Monkeypox is now a public health emergency here in the United States. At last check, the U.S. had recorded about 7,000 cases around the country. Today you’ll hear directly from someone who had monkeypox.

Dr. Jon, who prefers not to share his last name, is a primary care doctor in Chicago with a massive social media following on TikTok and Instagram under the handle @thatgaydoctor. He’s sharing about his symptoms, how he thinks he may have been exposed to the virus, and why he thinks it’s important to talk about it.

Then later, we’ll speak with Dr. Katrine Wallace, an epidemiologist at the University of Illinois at Chicago who has also been volunteering at a monkeypox vaccination clinic. You may know her as @epidemiologistkat on social media. She explains where it came from and what activities are more or less likely to spread the disease.

A new report from Heritage Foundation's Brenda Hafera provides unique insights and observations into how the presidential homes of Washington, Jefferson, and Madison are mostly failing to teach accurately about what these men achieved for our country. Mount Vernon is easily the best home, and is faithful to its former owner. But things quickly get bad and Monticello and just ugly at Montpelier.

As Hafera notes: "Madison [and] his accomplishments are relegated to a portion of the house tour. Which guides can write their own script, but they must talk about Dolly and James Madison, the enslaved people, and the Constitution. So Madison is talked about there. He is talked about in a brief video in the visitors center, which also labels the Constitution racist, and Madison a slave owner. But there are no exhibits on James Madison as the fourth president, as the father of the Constitution, as the primary author of the Bill of Rights, or writing a number of the Federalist Papers, which ensured the ratification of that Constitution."
