There has been a lot of pushback over the baseless claims and bogus advisories coming from President Trump and HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy, Jr. about Tylenol use for pregnant women.

The leading Republican candidate for governor says he has now staked a middle-ground position on when he and other politicians can ban women from getting abortion care. That may not be a credible position, given his record. Also: Cherita Booker has a rundown of some big events taking place around Wisconsin this weekend. Mornings with […]
