Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing Johnson and Johnson, accusing the pharmaceutical company of failing to warn consumers about the risk of taking Tylenol while pregnant.

This lawsuit, the first of its kind from a state government, comes a month after President Donald Trump and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced updated guidance discouraging pregnant women from taking acetaminophen, citing it as a possible cause of autism. The announcement set off a wave of controversy in the health care community, and confusion among pregnant women unsure how they should manage fever and pain during pregnancy.

This is what happens when you put conspiracy theorists into office: You get them suing or attacking organisations for things that aren't real.

But they prefer the right over the left because of taxes and regulations. I wonder when companies will flip, because they cannot handle the business impact of bullshit decisions like random tariffs or lawsuits over made up controversies any longer.

I don't think they will "flip". They might start endorsing Democrats but the Democrats as a whole are akin to the British Tory party (right wing and getting righter) despite it's SocDem and Progressive elements. However, corporations are not a monolith (Siemens Gamesa, who makes windfarms, are going to have different goals than say, Saudi Aramco) and so now, companies like, say, Palatir, who use online data and surveillance data to hunt down "undesirables" will throw money at Trump while companies that rely on outside or worldwide trade may "filp" to the democrats, albeit more right wing candidates, or if they really are scared, might look for a candidate in the Libertarian Party.
