The Hound 9/25

Hi there,

It’s Thursday. Today we’re talking about Trump promoting conspiracy theories about Tylenol use during pregnancy, Kimmel’s return to air, and more.

We’re also watching how media responses to these claims are shaping public perception of science. The story isn’t just about whether Tylenol is safe or not — it’s about whether journalism can resist becoming a tool for political narratives.

🖊️ Add your name to demand the media treat medical topics with nuance, integrity, and respect — not as battlegrounds for ideology.
