A 40-year-old woman has died from measles complications in Pennsylvania, marking the state's third measles-associated death this year as the U.S. experiences its worst resurgence of the highly contagious disease in 35 years. The woman, a Jefferson County resident, died on Saturday, county Coroner Greg Furlong said on Facebook. "This is a heartbreaking loss for the family and an unfortunate reminder that measles can be a serious and potentially life-threatening disease," Furlong said.

Sen. Jon Husted fired his campaign's political director Friday after discovering the staffer had posted Nazi imagery on social media and made playlists of songs celebrating Rhodesia, an unrecognized south African state often touted by white supremacists. Stephen Woytek, who joined the Ohio Republican's campaign last month, had posted profile photos depicting Nazi officers on his Facebook page and published links to a military reenactment group whose members dress up as Nazi officers. Woytek himself is pictured wearing the attire with the members of the group in photos from 2018, when he was 16 years old, according to The Washington Post, which first reported the social media activity earlier Friday. A campaign spokesperson described Woytek as a "lieutenant in the U.S. Army" who studies military history and routinely "reenacts historical battles," but said that Husted "quickly" opted to remove him from his staff after learning of the posts.
