NEW: Kimmel back on the air, or is he? Lindsey Halligan has a week to indict Jim Comey on vibes. The Supreme Court bucks 90 years of precedent. And a win for voting rights in Arizona. All the news that's fit to swear about: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

The FDA statement ends with a paragraph undermining its own warning.

They signal parents to avoid acetaminophen. Except sometimes. And then:

No “causal relationship… established” with ADHD or autism

AND

Alternatives to acetaminophen have “well-documented adverse impacts.”

You're welcome

Saving The Idea Of America Will we abandon our constitutional order in silence?

Today’s post is from guest Michael Wood, a patriot and veteran who bled for this country and now wrestles with a question: Will America remain only an idea? His words are raw, honest, and urgent—reminder of what’s at stake in this moment

I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is.

This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

I did too!

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

BREAKING: We're suing ICE for unlawfully targeting and arresting people who show up to court for their immigration hearings.

Will everyone quit and roll over? The law firms, media companies, universities, government employees. Will you all cling to what you have and hope you can just ride it out, Republic be damned? Shame on all of you who don’t stand up, just remember we will never forget.

ATTN: If you’re a DoJ employee and have knowledge of the missing minute (or 2:53) of Epstein jail video, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻
