The Republican shutdown means that nonessential federal employees like soldiers and TSA agents aren't being paid anymore, but rest assured that the truly vital work of this administration -- building a Dancing with the Stars ballroom for the dementia-addled president -- still goes on.

Organizers say more than 10,000 people have turned out for the No Kings rally at the Atlanta Civic Center in Georgia. The actual number could be closer to 12,000, says Laura Judge with Indivisible North Metro, which is one of the event's organizers. (Photo by @alander.bsky.social)

While this administration holds a theatrical press conference spreading alarmist disinformation about autism and Tylenol, it’s also quietly telling physicians to ignore what they say.

Be skeptical of the news about acetaminophen & autism. Here is a structured critical review of a recent systematic review on the topic.

β€œBecause of its safety profile & absence of teratogenic effects, acetaminophen is considered the medication of choice for fever & pain relief during pregnancy…we cannot ascribe any causal relationship between acetaminophen & autism, which remains the preferred drug for fever and pain in pregnancy.”

The word β€œautism” was first used to describe behavioral differences in children in 1911 but autism has been documented using available records going back to the 1700s (definitively) and further.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol, paracetamol) was discovered in 1878 and first sold in the United States in 1950.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

23% of all resident medical doctors are on H1B, many working in rural and underserved hospitals because those hospitals have trouble getting doctors to move to Danville, VA or Salina, KS.

Secretary Kennedy presents a clear and present danger to the American people and their families. This week, even more of our colleagues in the fields of medicine, public health and patient advocacy join us in calling for his resignation.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

RFK Jr. ordered staff to rubber stamp immunization policies regardless of evidence.

Make no mistake: Americans will die needlessly if this is how RFK runs HHS.

He must resign.

I cannot believe there is a need to say this, but β€œinvoluntary lethal injection” is not a treatment plan it is murder, and that is true even if a person does not have a home

There is no moral or policy ambiguity here

This is censorship from an authoritarian regime that wants to project the illusion that they face no internal opposition or dissent. No other way to describe it.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
