Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

My friend f/ NY received this 😔 message today.

NY's Essential Plan was established under an optional ACA provision that allows states to create a Basic Health Program for low-income residents who don't qualify for Medicaid. The Essential Plan used ACA premium tax credits, to finance the program.

We’re watching an entire political party actively protect the single most infamous sex-trafficking operation of our time.

This isn’t just silence—it’s complicity at the highest level.

2/ rightly say, it's the worst crime that can be committed in a democratic republic. One either agrees to look squarely at that or one doesn't, and everything falls out from that choice.

This is the essential thing that all the bothsidesing turns on. It's pounding the table of proceduralism so hard you hope people will ignore the facts - Trump ran a conspiracy to overturn the results of a election and thus the constitutional order itself. That's not just something bad, as you ...

I guess I should also add that a key difference between the Trump investigation and the Comey indictment is that *Trump did something obviously and significantly wrong*. Like, if you can't grok that distinction as important, I don't know what to say.

Too many Virginia families are struggling to afford the care and prescriptions they need to survive.

As Governor, I’ll lower healthcare costs, work to end price gouging, and give Virginians the flexibility to use the pharmacy of their choosing.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
