Trump appears to be defying the court order. Millions of families across the country are still seeing the message: “NO BALANCE FOUND.” Time will tell if the administration ultimately complies.

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

Donald Trump is trying to normalize authoritarianism. We cannot let that happen. We cannot take the bait that normalizes things that are fundamentally wrong.

Kenvue owns the Tylenol brand. This is why Trump doesn't want you to buy Tylenol. But you can buy Excedrin, Theraflu and Nyquil... which all use the same drug as Tylenol.
