President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday to fast-track the reclassification of cannabis in Schedule III, which would pave the way for the Food and Drug Administration to study its medicinal uses. The order does not make cannabis legal nationwide.

Trump signs executive order fast-tracking reclassification of marijuana
The move doesn't legalize marijuana, but the reclassification would allow the FDA to study it for medical purposes.

Pregnant women can't access the #COVID vaccine. If they get #COVID and develop a fever, they can't take Tylenol? 🫠.
Both COVID infection and untreated maternal fever increase the risk of bad outcomes for both fetus and mother ranging from preterm delivery to death.
None of this is pro-life.

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

Let me make this very clear:
Being sarcastic about sexual assault while also anti science, and scaring pregnant people into not appropriately treating their pain while simultaneously belittling the lives of autistic people is really a full encapsulation of this administration.

Same-sex marriages have zero effect on religious extremists.

A same-sex married couple doesn't prevent your relationship with God or with Christ or your fidelity to Christ's teachings.

So, I'm left concluding that your faith in God is very fragile and weak in the first place.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

So wanting an independent judiciary and upholding the rule of law is woke?
