Russian President Vladimir Putin will make "a number of important statements" at a meeting of the Kremlin's Security Council on Monday, his spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, according to state media.

The "operational meeting" will take place after around 3:30 p.m. Moscow time (8:30 a.m. ET), Peskov added.

It comes amid heightened tensions between Moscow and NATO after Estonia and Poland both requested Article 4 consultations over what they said were major violations of their airspace by Russia.

Russia has said NATO allies have not yet provided evidence of their accusations of airspace violations.

It also coincides with the start of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Monday, at which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will hold meetings with U.S. President Donald Trump and the leaders of other allies of Kyiv.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Defender of the Republic 🇺🇸💃🏻🎂🥳❤️🐸🎉🎈

“A revival” - @WhiteHouse on TikTok

Defender of the Republic helped make my 50th birthday in March so very special.

I thought I’d reshare this awesome, surprise birthday video she arranged with the great Boone Cutler 🙏🏻🇺🇸🫡

NORTH CAROLINA change in voter registration from 9/13 to 9/20

Net GOP +1,699 registrations

-509 Dems off rolls
+1,190 new Republicans

The average has been about 2,000 net toward Republicans per month since the election

This number is nearly 4x that rate

America is associating political violence with leftists and Democrats and it’s only going to get worse

In fact... the precedent was set while "Joe Biden" was President. 😉

People had to be shown.

It will be easier to do what has to be done because everyone will agree with us.

BREAKING😑: Jimmy Kimmel is getting back on the air.

The ABC late-night host is returning to broadcast on Tuesday following a brief-but-monumental suspension that sparked a national debate over the Trump Administration’s pressure tactics and the modern limits and consequences of free speech.

“Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country,” ABC parent The Walt Disney Company said in a statement Monday. It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive.  We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”

“Thoughtful conversations”.

Yeah … okay.

Bad day for Tylenol….

A good day for the children…

Trump: “When you go from 20,000 to 10,000 and then you go to 12. You know there's something artificial. They're taking something and by the way, I think I can say that there are certain groups of people that don't take vaccines and don't take any pills, that have no autism, that have no autism.”

BREAKING: U.S. vaccine panel has withdrawn its recommendation for the COVID-19 vaccine.

@GeneralMCNews

Dasting that he said this. And then the recommendation for the Covid vaccine is yanked .. 👀

RFK JR: “Some 40 to 70% of mothers of children with autism believe their child was injured by a vaccine.

President Trump believes that we should be listening to these mothers instead of gaslighting them and marginalizing them like prior administrations.

Some of our friends like to say that we should believe all women but some of the same people have been silencing and demonizing these mothers for three decades.

Because research on the potential link between Autism and vaccines has been actively suppressed in the past.”

““Today, the FDA is filing a federal register notice to change the label on an exciting treatment called prescription lucaborn so that it can be available to children with autism. Hundreds of thousands of kids, in my opinion, will benefit. One study found that with kids with autism and chronic Foley deficiency, two thirds of kids with autism symptoms had improvement and some market improvement. Mr. President, you told us to do what's medically right, to go bold and not worry about the corporations and the lobbyists. So that's what we're here doing today. Thank you. Mr. President, thank you.”

👉 Leucovorin (also called folinic acid) is a medication related to folic acid (vitamin B9). It’s not the same as regular folic acid, but the body can use it directly without needing to go through the usual activation steps.

When I was growing up, there was a high amount of fear surrounding fevers. Who doesn’t remember hearing that they caused brain damage if not treated? The number I always heard was anything over 102°.

When my son was a baby, he would regularly spike fevers of 104°. He never really got sick, he would just get the fever. And he always seemed unfazed by them, playing and smiling through them, but I was a nervous wreck. Although I wasn’t yet “awake” I instinctively hated giving him Tylenol, but it was always in my head that his fevers would cause brain damage if I didn’t treat them.

I am SO grateful he had a really awesome pediatrician who took away my fear by assuring me that as long as he was acting like himself, there was nothing to worry about. Brain damage comes from prolonged fevers over 108° or external high temperatures, like a little one left in a hot car. He assured me that the body knows what it’s doing, and as long as my son was acting comfortable, even fevers of 104° were nothing to worry about. In fact, they really did seem to be doing their job because my baby never so much as had a runny nose, he would spike a high fever for half a day and be fine.

I have to wonder about the fear that was used on parents to get them to run to the Tylenol at the first sign of fever. And I’m so glad that light is being shed on this topic now so hopefully it’s no longer common practice. 🙏
