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.

Fascism is a systemic issue. It's a cancer that takes roots when democracy starts failing.

Having the concrete and unsystemic problem of there being probable cause Trump did some very, very bad things looked into properly is a much smaller ask.

However, even that's an imposibility in today's world.

I'd love to have a magic cure for fascism. There is one, although it's undoubtedly very unmagic: Painstakingly dealing with obvious lies and crimes, one at a time. Respecting the Constitution. Having people be truly equal. Especially in the eyes of the law.

Without a thourough dose of said cure, fascism will hide away and get ready to rise back up.

The Epstein shit is one step of a bajillion mile journey. It's not the first and it's not the last. But without it, there's no journey to be had.
