The FDA webpage had a stark warning: Some purported autism βcuresβ or treatments, including chlorine dioxide and raw camel milk, are dangerous and make misleading claims.
Now, under RFK Jr.βs leadership, that advisory is gone.

Just a reminder: this incompetent, corrupt, lying hack was appointed by Donald Trump.
Her confirmation was supported by every Republican senator, along with Democrats Fetterman, Hassan, Kaine, Kim, Peters, Sheehan, and Slotkin.
And Noem's record for lying, corruption, and incompetence was obvious.
Meanwhile, Trump has killed off such innovation in the US.

"How do markets work? If we restrain supply but not demand, what will that mean for price?"
"Hey boss, how about we encourage people to buy EVs? That'll reduce demand and could bring down cost."

Oh, a "pledge." That sounds like China's "promise" to Trump to buy more soy beans from the US (never happened).
Trump: "Look! I got a pledge from these tech bros. Your electricity bills will fall within two weeks."
What about all the water they use?

No, Rep. Gonzales took advantage of an employee over whom he had a great deal of power, despite her protestations.
He must resign.

One doesn't have "affairs" with subordinates. One takes advantage of a power differential to get laid. In my line of work, that's a firing offense.

It's always "two weeks" for Trump:
--delivery of his health care plan
--release of the Epstein files
--settle his tariff policy
--announce his tax plan
--get an agreement with Russia and Ukraine
But this claim is perhaps crazier than all of the others.
