Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Break With Trump: “I Was Just So Naive”

‘I Was Just So Naïve’: Inside Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Break With Trump seems to be the latest political theater playing out. The narrative, as it’s being presented, suggests a shift, a distancing from the former president. But is it genuine? The phrase “I was just so naive” feels like a carefully crafted soundbite, a way to explain away years of unwavering support for someone who, as many see it, represents the very antithesis of sensible governance.

Critics, including former Democratic officials, view the resolution as a symbolic gesture, particularly given the Democratic Party leaders who voted in favor of the resolution. Some believe the resolution reveals whose interests Democratic leaders prioritize, especially in light of the support given to democratic socialist candidates such as Zohran Mamdani.

Texas Sues Tylenol Makers Alleging Hidden Autism Risks, Sparks Outrage

Texas Sues Tylenol Makers, Claiming They Hid Autism Risks, and frankly, it’s hard to know where to begin. It’s almost unbelievable that this is actually happening.

The immediate sense is this lawsuit is going to get dismissed pretty quickly. The fact that credible health organizations like the World Health Organization and Johns Hopkins have found no link between acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Tylenol) and autism should tell you something.… Continue reading

Trump-Putin Meeting Called Off: Reactions and Speculation
