Trump and Kennedy claim it's unsafe to give young children Tylenol. What does the science say?

After advising that Tylenol be avoided during pregnancy, the president and health secretary broadened their claims to suggest without evidence that babies and kids shouldn't take it, either.

"We conquered scarcity. Now we’re consumed by abundance." - maps like this might be statistically true, but look in your fridge and your wallet... is this abundance shared by all the people? No. "Should" it be shared?

Dear Leader's April results had similarly declared him “fully fit to serve,” clocking in at 6’2” and 224 pounds — which, as Hayes dryly noted, puts him in the same weight class as Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs.

In his words ….

“Well, they did sign up for it actually, and this is what I campaigned on.”

For all the people leaving maga saying, “we didn’t know it would be this bad, he deceived us.”

No he didn’t, he was pretty clear.

You just didn’t care until it affected you.

I don't think that Joe Rogan can ever redeem his sins. Podcasters and streamers who once treated Donald Trump like the second coming are now apparently realizing that hitching their brand to a would-be strongman might not have been the best move.
