Families in Hendry & Glades are being torn apart tonight by ICE raids. Parents are gone, children left without their main caregivers. We’re doing everything we can—covering bills, groceries, legal aid—but we cannot do it alone.

Trump vs. Science: Tylenol, Pregnancy, and Autism Trump claims Tylenol in pregnancy causes autism. Experts say: no proof of causation, only associations. Science vs. politics.

Without hearings or investigation, Robert F. Kennedy Jr either Trump and Dr. Oz decided to add warnings for pregnant women about acetaminophen. There are no substantive links between the drug and autism, but here we are. #trump #tylenol #autism #rfkjr
