What did President Trump announce about Tylenol and pregnancy risks?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. President Trump announced the Food and Drug Administration will notify doctors that pregnant women should not take Tylenol, saying it increases the risk of autism in babies. The maker of Tylenol released a statement defending the over-the-counter drug as safe for expectant mothers. But speaking at the White House today, Trump says he's convinced the link exists.
For this reason they are strongly recommending that women limit Tylenol use during pregnancy unless medically Necessary. That's uh for instance in cases of extremely high fever. That you feel you can't tough it out?
This is the administration's latest move questioning the science of commonly used medications from vaccines to abortion pills. Autism affects one in thirty one children in the US, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
How is the Supreme Court’s emergency order affecting the Federal Trade Commission?
Researchers have attributed an increase in diagnosed autism cases to greater awareness of the disorder. In an emergency order today, the Supreme Court allowed President Trump to fire the last remaining Democratic member of the Federal Trade Commission, NPR's Nina Totenberg reports.
The court's action today is technically temporary since the justices said they will hear arguments in the case in December. But every indication is that the conservative court majority will use the case to reverse a major Supreme Court precedent. Dating back nearly a century. In nineteen thirty five, the court ruled unanimously that Congress acted within its authority in declaring that a commissioner could only be fired for misconduct. Not for a policy disagreement. Although that ruling was reaffirmed multiple times, the court's current six member conservative majority appears poised to overturn a president that for ninety years has ensured that federal agencies are run by multimember and bipartisan boards.

Charlie Kirk founded Turning Point USA in twenty twelve when he was just eighteen years old.
What is the future of Turning Point USA after Charlie Kirk’s assassination?
After his assassination, NPR's Elena Moore reports on what might be next for the conservative organization.
Charlie Kirk was part political activist, part media personality. It's a job no single person can take over, says Turning Point spokesman Andrew Colvet.
I think that would be the worst way to analyze this situation.
So he says Kirk's team is stepping up.
The right way to analyze the situation is to say, what can I do? And I I will tell you it's a total refrain in the office right now. It's like what would Charlie have wanted in this moment?
Last week, Erica Kirk, his widow, became the new CEO of the organization. She's pledged to continue turning points on campus events and keep airing Kirk's popular podcast, which since his death has been hosted by a slew of prominent right wing leaders, along with Vice President JD Vance.
Why are packaged shrimp being recalled for possible radioactive contamination?
Elena Moore, MPR News, Phoenix, Arizona.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up sixty six points today to forty-six thousand three hundred and eighty-one. From Washington, this is NPR. Authorities in the Eastern European nation of Moldova have conducted two hundred and fifty raids and detained dozens of people as part of an investigation into an alleged Russia backed plan to incite mass riots. The raids targeted more than a hundred people. Moldovans are set to elect a new one hundred and one seat legislature later this week. Many view the election as a choice between European Union membership or closer ties with Russia. More packaged shrimp sh sold in grocery stores across the country are being recalled because of potential radioactive contamination, NPR's Giles Snyder reports.
This new recall follows a safety alert issued by the Food and Drug Administration last month and is part of an ongoing investigation of potential contamination of cooked and frozen shrimp imported from an Indonesian company. The FDA says the risk appears to be small, no illnesses have been reported, but the FDA says consumers should not eat the shrimp and either dispose of or return the product for a refund.
