This story is incredible
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

NIH Study reveals no causal link between neurodevelopmental disorders and acetaminophen exposure. A Swedish study with more than 2.5M children also showed no causal affect. Acetaminophen exposure during pregnancy is not linked to the risk of developmental autism ADHD or intellectual disabilities.

Interesting that the right demands firing of individuals for their statements about one of their own, yet continue to freak out about those who were fired for their statements around topics they hold dear? Murder is never the answer.

“Is there any sign of life?”
“Have we heard a heartbeat?”
“Does she feel any kicking?”
“We don’t have the equipment to do that.”
That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.

Seems a good time to invite Sen Britt to watch an NIH review panel (aka study section) analyze piles of grants over several days to identify the <10% that win funding. Applications that scientists spent months preparing, whose peers spent weeks poring through in advance of review mtg at NIH.
Republican Senator Katie Britt: We need to create a system "where the beat idea wins... This is our opportunity to make a dollar go further and to make it have a greater impact."
