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

Our thoughts are with the staff of the CDC, members of the Emory community and the family and friends of the slain officer, but they deserve more than thoughts and prayers. They deserve real action by leaders to make their community, and every community, a healthy and safe environment for all.

From Buenos Aires to Bangkok, Montreal to Moscow, nearly every taxi driver in the world understands "OK." It's a gift from American English that's spread across the globe in less than 200 years.

WHO faces a 21% reduction from the original proposed budget for the 2026-27 biennium.

ICYMI: You've probably heard about the vast array of agencies the HHS layoffs gutted, but somewhat less focused-on were the communications teams that were laid off. I talked to laid-off workers in the comms offices in 5 divisions of HHS, and all said their offices had been emptied or nearly so. 1/x
