Samie (with Emily’s help) roasts RFK Jr.’s promise to “cure autism” by banning Tylenol (🙄), breaks down what’s actually true about acetaminophen and pregnancy, and reminds everyone that correlation ≠ causation.
They dive into the wild history of autism diagnoses, drag the government for threatening WIC funding and the shutdown, and give side-eye to voter ID laws designed to harm women and trans voters.
California’s “secret police” and abortion laws get their props, though, sorry Gav, Washington did it first. And of course, they end with Taylor Swift, Gavin Newsom’s petty era, and a reminder: RELEASE THE FILES.
