Hey so if you get a fever during the first trimester, Tylenol is the only OTC remedy to lower it. And a high fever during the first trimester of pregnancy can cause neural tube defects in the fetus that are incompatible with life. Babies are going to die because of this dumb fuck's news conference.
Trump: "I just recommend strongly that you don't use Tylenol ... I just want to say it like it is. Don't take Tylenol. Don't take it! Fight like hell not to take it."

The problem isn’t that there is no way to alert the public to coming disasters.
It’s that local officials too often don’t use it.

Those familiar w/ the history of US policing & intelligence know this was always the fear. A federal policing regime becomes the coercive/punitive arm of the White House. The 1975 Church Committee report made it clear the FBI/CIA did that work...but now with the DHS it's a whole new ball game.
