CNN’s 5 Things PM brings you the stories you might have missed during your busy day.
👋 Welcome to 5 Things PM! Measles misinformation is spreading in the US, a new poll found, and most people aren’t sure what they believe. False claims are circulating, including that the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine causes autism. It doesn’t. Here’s what else you might have missed during your busy day: 1️⃣ Funding freeze: Harvard’s fight with President Donald Trump’s administration is just getting started. As the nation’s most prestigious university squares off with the federal government over academic autonomy and control, the stakes are high. ➕ Trump is set to take aim at the college accreditation process with a new executive order. 2️⃣ Breathing hard: Air pollution levels keep getting worse for more people in the US, according to a new report. Particle pollution threatens human health because it’s so tiny, and experts say proposed deregulation plans will make it even harder to get clean air. 3️⃣ Agreeing to disagree: Alliances among the nine US Supreme Court justices can shift back and forth, as seen in recent cases over the mass deportation of migrants. But when it comes to religion, there’s a clear ideological divide. 4️⃣ Enduring legacy: Despite being dead for more than 300 years, an Indian ruler is still making waves. Aurangzeb Alamgir, an emperor during the famed Mughal dynasty, has become a central figure in the nation’s politics. Millions of people are angry.

Roughly 500 Marines based out of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California have been mobilized to respond to the protests in Los Angeles, according to three people familiar with the matter, and will join the thousands of National Guard troops that were activated by President Donald Trump over the weekend without the consent of California’s governor or LA’s mayor.
