What gets me is that studies show that autism is highly genetic.

In identical twins, ASD in one usually leads to a diagnosis of ASD in the other 96% of the time. Which lines up with a high affinity to genetic factors.

In fraternal twins we have seen, a 16% when a given sex ASD is diagnosed leading to an opposite sex ASD diagnosis. A 36% when a female ASD is diagnosed leading to a female ASD diagnosis. And a 31% when a male ASD is diagnosed leading to a male ASD diagnosis.

This lines up with genetic factors from a particular parent that are expressed with the gonosomes. That it affects higher in women is a hint that it may be within the X complex gonosomes. If Tylenol played a serious role in the development of those things then we’d see different data here. That opposite sex fraternal is nearly half the amount for same sex fraternal, really hammers home the notion that we’re dealing with something genetic. But at the same time we don’t know what genes.

The core argument with RFK is oxidative stress. But literally everything causes oxidative stress, not getting the correct amount of sleep causes oxidative stress. And that’s the bigger issue with the studies that RFK has forwarded about Tylenol. Their argument is a confusion of causation and correlation.

And this has been pointed out by a ton of concerned scientist. That’s not to dismiss the data that RFK has provided, it is pointing out that the data they are using doesn’t point to the conclusion they are indicating directly.

I can imagine that Texas could possibly prevail on their case given that even scientist, including the ones RFK cites, aren’t 100% sure that Tylenol has any role in any of this. This isn’t the first time some group or even a State sued over poor science, but it’s really frustrating because Texas has a duty to provide for their citizens and here they are using a poor conclusion to some data to do something that’s no in the interest of their citizens.

Just wait till holiday season!

But the upshot is that commercial airlines heavily fund Republicans. So if they start having issues, they’ll start letting their Republican folks know about it.

Many were folks who came here via some “legal” means who looked at those crossing during Biden and resented them. That hatred of folks just trying to find a better life now has an entire gestapo ready to arrest and deport anyone who looks too brown to be in American.

They thought that all that paperwork made them whole in the Republican eyes. They thought those words saying they were a citizen was enough to made confessed racist look the other way. But an administration that doesn’t care about the law, doesn’t care about what status a sheet of paper says.

That’s what’s so crazy about letting your hate get to you. That hate comes back to bite you.

a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, in a 2-1 ruling, stayed a temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, who was appointed by President Donald Trump during his first term in office.

US District Judge Karin Immergut is a Federal District Judge for the United States District Court for the District of Oregon. A district court is the trial courts of the US federal judiciary, so for Federal cases start here.

Justice Immergut issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the US Government. This “enjoins” or “prohibits” an action. This action was the deployment of troops to Oregon. TROs have a really high bar because courts are not supposed to carry out any kind of action without a full trial. A TRO usually comes before a full trial can be had because there’s some sort of emergency that requires no delay. There’s a whole slew of standards to when a TRO can be issued and cannot be issued.

Once a TRO is issued, the defendant (who it is that is enjoined which would be the President) is allowed a review of that TRO by the appeals court that the district court resides in. There are 13 of them. The first through the eleventh circuit court of appeals, The DC Court of appeals, and the Federal Court of appeals (which is one that hears specific cases under very specific jurisdiction).

There are a lot of judges that sit on a circuit court, just depends on which one you’re talking about, Congress usually creates a new seat in the circuit based on population, case load, or whatever. The ninth circuit is the court that the District Court for the District of Oregon resides in. The ninth circuit is the largest, it has 29 active judges and 24 senior judges. The senior judges don’t actively participate in the Courtroom but they can write opinions, issue particular things, and so forth to help out the active judges. Basically, they are at the step just before retirement.

The active judges break out into groups of threes where they can and sit alone if the must. The entire point is to fill as many courtrooms in the circuit as they can so that they can get lots of case load done. Remember this is a circuit court, so there’s no one building for them, there’s multiple courtrooms for them all over the ninth circuit which is California to Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. So they’ve got a lot of ground to cover for all of them.

A panel of three judges hears any appeals from the district court and then rules on if the district court was justified and followed all of the various rules. But there’s no telling which three judges (I mean there is a schedule so there’s that) you might get, they’re all moving around and trying to keep things moving.

Okay so that three panel judge stayed (puts on pause) the TRO.

By Friday, the full 9th Circuit administratively stayed the panel’s own stay – “[w]ithout objection from the panel,” an order notes.

This isn’t an actual hearing. An administrative review is like a Zoom meeting between all the Judges and they talk about the cases they had, vent, and what not. During that review, one of the Judges pointed out a piece of evidence that attorneys for the State of Oregon submitted that the President lied about the troop deployment. The panel during their Zoom meeting voted and they stayed (put on pause) the stay of the TRO.

But an administrative review is NOT a proper trial.

Now, the stay of Immergut’s first TRO is paused until Oct. 28, “to allow the completion of the pending en banc proceedings,” the court noted.

En banc means to get ALL OF THE JUDGES together to have a formal hearing. So all 29 now have to come together and have a hearing. Now that might be via Zoom or something, I’m not entirely clear on the process of the Ninth for their en banc, each court sets the rules on when Zoom is allowed or not. But all 29 now have to hear the case. So the stay of the first TRO is paused, or the court stayed the stay of the first TRO. Meaning the TRO many continue to enjoin the President’s actions.

There’s a second TRO that’s out there. Basically it’s filed under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). The APA formalizes the process by which the Executive branch’s Department’s may do things. You know how there’s regulation? Regulation isn’t LAW. Law requires both chambers of Congress to approve something and the President sign off on it. Regulation/Rule making/etc… is a Department doing something “within the confines of the law”. Say like Congress says build me a highway. The Transportation Departmentwill then issue a determination that includes blueprints and what not for the highway in the law. The APA indicates the manner by which they have to do that. With public review, publishing on https://www.federalregister.gov/, etc…

This second TRO is based on something not followed in the APA.

This whole idea avoids two big issues at stake.

• The United States dollar is weakening.
• American Ranchers are in desperate need of help to increase domestic production.

With the US dollar weakening, this creates economic risks for purchase orders of Argentinian beef. There will need specific policy assurances in place and market controls by both Governments to ensure that a continuing weakening US dollar doesn’t commit retailers to beef that does nothing to move price to consumer.

There would need to be ever increasing tariff controls in place and if Trump does not make the midterms, there is a good chance that Congress could curtail his usurping Article I powers from Congress. This could come at a time that would be critical for quick adjustments and if retailers have put in orders that jump suddenly or orders that just get cancelled.

Record high retail beef prices in the US in 2025 are driven by low domestic cattle supplies and strong demand. This is due in part to several post pandemic droughts the world over. Additionally, changing trade policy has made steady market planning by US cattle producers that much more difficult. The volatility paired with natural factors has cause beef production within the United States to plunge. Independent farmers of beef are in need and losing the battle to commercial beef production that continue to use their market position to maintain higher beef prices and lower production.

There needs to be movement on multiple fronts within the United States to ensure a healthy beef production that can match the demand being seen. Simply importing Argentinian beef, slaps a band-aid on a wound that’s in critical need of prompt attention. And failure to address the complexities of what’s driving beef prices higher and just simply applying a stop-gap issue that does nothing long term, will ensure that beef prices don’t actually move anywhere in the foreseeable future.

If this whole thing was part of some larger domestic improvement plan, that would be a different story. But this President is widely known for half assing, or quarter assing, or concepts of a planning his way through his term. There’s no way that there’s some larger strategy involved here. And so what the President is doing is attempting to curry favor with Argentina and Milei by putting long term US beef viability at stake (no pun intended).

I expect nothing less from the guy. This is just a foolish plan that is going to blow up in someone’s face a few years down the road. This idiot in the White House is just hoping that he isn’t that guy left holding the bag when it does.

Is this AI generated?

Man I wish it was. It’d make more sense.

When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today, it is 1.6%. The replacement rate, in other words the amount of fertility that you need in order to keep your population even, is 2.1%. We are below replacement right now. That is a national security threat to our country and we know why this is happening, and President Trump is addressing the root causes through his MAHA agenda of reducing endocrine disruptors, the exposure to chemicals that decrease fertility.

You can’t debate that. Mostly because it’s just illogical altogether. It would like trying to convince someone that pasta doesn’t taste like clay bricks. There’s no logic to the initial argument, you can’t logic that away.

That last bit of “This is nothing like what it’s like at night. It’s really bad!”

Oh my god princess. They’re blasting music and dancing in inflated costumes. For fuck sake, talk about snowflakes.

Stephen Miller may have just accidentally confirmed that he, not President Donald Trump, is the one calling the shots in regard to deportation raids and National Guard deployments.

Wait was this an actual question? Yes, Trump’s brains are mush. Dude likely couldn’t recall what’s on a tortilla and beef only taco.

There are zero ways that Trump is actually calling jack shit.

Alternate headline: Pam Bondi proves that she can’t independently think.

LOL. That’s not even a real ask. It’s like if I walked into work tomorrow and asked for a 200% raise.

His handlers are showing him exactly what they need him to see.

Same thing I was saying about Trump leaving in 2020. He might be gone, but the people who found him useful aren’t. Whatever we attribute to Trump, the thing to remember is that Trump is just the outlet. There’s a whole wellspring that is the source of his vitriol.

Lindsey Halligan. She’s an interim AG. When this filling was going down, she had been on the job as a prosecutor for four days.

Her previous experience is an insurance attorney. So, yeah, going to be a lot more of these “oopsies” along the way.

arguing that decided cases are not “the gospel,”

This is correct, but not in the sense that he provides. Society changes, what was okay before may not be okay now. Weighing precedent and modern society is a careful process. Tossing off precedent should have justification for why it’s being shrug and there needs to a preponderance that this is indeed the shift of society.

Walking in and saying, “well we should just outright critical” is absolutely not the way to do it. Overturning previous case law should happen, but that shouldn’t be the fucking default. And when you do overturn previous case law, you really need to bring a fuck ton of support, not, “meh we changed our mind.” Being a contrarian for sake of rocking the boat isn’t how our highest court should operate.

Well I mean I recently heard one of their FoxNews “experts” saying Hitler was in heaven. So… Really it’s a matter of what company you want to keep.

When they bring up Murthy v. Missouri it’s always good to remind them what the Supreme Court said.

To establish standing, the plaintiffs must demonstrate a substantial risk that, in the near future, they will suffer an injury that is traceable to a government defendant and redressable by the injunction they seek. Because no plaintiff has carried that burden, none has standing to seek a preliminary injunction.

Doubtful that the claims will prevail. However, the filing court in Orlando is one of the courts he has out there that are packed Trump judges. Out of the 12 that sit the bench, 6 are Trump appointments. That said, even with those six in his pocket, it won’t be enough to push through the claim in appeals, if it even gets that far. The Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit is the same court that struck down plenty of Florida’s Online laws as violating the first amendment.

Even though they are mostly Trump appointments, the court even with them, has had a strong lean to tell the Government when it comes to speech to fuck off. Which also Cartwright which told University of Central Florida their anti-harassment policy went overboard and violated the first amendment.

Do they’ve demonstrated that there’s very little that rises outside of protected speech. Be it a Floridian law banning children online or students yelling slurs. It’s definitely a double edge sword, but I can’t see this court siding with Trump on this. Defamation for this court has to directly turn into absolute loss, so Trump would have the onus to bring receipts on how it harmed him, which I highly doubt.

But all of this is a great reason why the US Government needs to implement Federal anti-SLAPP protections.

Hyundai already announced a two to three month delay on this plant after this whole thing. They aren’t walking away, but this isn’t an event they are forgetting.

It won’t matter what President comes after this one, this whole thing is going to influence investment from South Korea for some time.

Oh absolutely, it’s going to be a slam dunk W for Trump because the Supreme Court is just going to ignore everything Article I of the Constitution says.

Drug trafficking is a crime. It is not the commission of war. The fucking President just committed an unquestionable war crime and went on TV and bragged about it.

Oh look I’m only two away form BINGO.
