BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — Mali's health minister says the West African country has confirmed its first case of Ebola. The announcement made on Malian state television Thursday evening by Ousmane Kone said that the patient was a 2-year-old girl who had come from neighboring Guinea. The child was brought to a hospital in the Malian town of Kayes on Wednesday, and her blood sample tested positive for the virus. Mali becomes the sixth West African country to report an Ebola case — though nearly all the cases and deaths have occurred in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. Senegal and Nigeria had imported cases though both have now been declared Ebola-free. The World Health Organization says the disease has killed at least 4,877 people and infected 9,936.

    Andra Watkins discussed her Substack newsletter, "How Project 2025 Will Ruin Your Life," on Rick Wilson's podcast on April 22.

Rick Wilson urged everyone to read "How Project 2025 Will Ruin Your Life," because the "implications for the country are darker than you may imagine." Watkins is a New York Times bestselling author who spent her "formative years in a Moral Majority-era Christian Nationalist church and school in rural South Carolina." According to Watkins, she has a "deep understanding of how Christian Nationalists think to their Christo-fascist manifesto, Project 2025."
