Kenvue, the manufacturer of Tylenol, said that “sound science clearly shows that taking acetaminophen does not cause autism.”

The company pointed to scientific reviews by multiple government regulators worldwide, including those previously published by the FDA. https://to.pbs.org/4nQ6rUR

She did it!!

If you know anyone in Iowa's state senate district 1 (Sioux City area) be sure to encourage them to vote for Catelin Drey on August 26th. Her republican opponent is Christopher Prosch, and he is an extremist. The incumbent passed away last month.

Extreme policies do nothing to improve our state, but do lead to our young professionals fleeing the state for better opportunities. This kind of brain drain is not sustainable for Iowa.

The MAHA Report Cites Studies That Don’t Exist The Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” report misinterprets some studies and cites others that don’t exist, according to the listed authors.

ummmmm...fake sources, mischaracterization of findings, made up research studies doesn't sound like "Gold Standard Science" to us.

But what do we know? We are just a lowly, grassroots community of the world's leading scientists. 🐸☕

GOP Sen. Grassley gets another earful at Iowa town hall Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley faced another room of heated constituents at a town hall in Northwood, Iowa, on Wednesday.

Another of Grassley's town halls got heated. But he thinks this is "an outlier". abcnews.go.com/Politics/gop...

Grassley gets hammered in Iowa, scuffles at Marjorie Taylor Greene town hall A protester was tased, another dragged out of Georgia GOP congresswoman's event.

Most republican politicians aren't holding town halls, but Grassley has always visited every one of Iowa's 99 counties every year. He boasts about it, so he almost has to keep it up. Here's how that's going...

Republican lawmakers have been ruining Iowa, yes. But there are Republican citizens who have been brainwashed into thinking that all democrats are evil. If people like Rob Sand continue to reach out and meet with them, we can start building bridges. That's how you change their votes to BLUE.

Please keep doing this. Both 'sides' need to be reminded that the 'other side' isn't an evil enemy. There are good people everywhere, and when we can listen calmly to one another, we can actually get some work done!
