i don't think it's a good idea to do anything during a pregnancy...alcohol, tobacco, weed or hallucinogens can't be doing anything beneficial to a developing fetus, and definitely not any pharma.
“any pharma” casts too wide a net. Meds for blood pressure, asthma, gastric issues etc. are generally fine, and discontinuing them brings potentially serious harm.

cut out any recreational pharmaceuticals, and any prescription drugs that might adversely effect the developing fetus, without threatening the health of the mother...

Well we are starting to get some answers about the Stormy Daniels affair and how Trump weaseled out of it and why Bill Barr is out there trying to rehabilitate his reputation. Bill Barr might end up indicted or sued, he has some difficult questions to answer that the senate judiciary committee will be asking.

Senate to investigate alleged Trump meddling in federal prosecutor’s office
The Senate Judiciary Committee will investigate whether former President Trump’s Justice Department attempted to use the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office to prosecute his critics and protect his allies, the panel’s chairman said.

“These reported claims indicate astonishing and unacceptable deviations from the Department’s mission to pursue impartial justice, which requires that its prosecutorial decisions be free from political influence,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) wrote in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Durbin cites a New York Times report detailing allegations from a new book by Geoffrey Berman, the former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York who served for two years under Trump and had previously volunteered on his 2016 campaign and transition team.
Berman has said that Trump appointees pressured the office to go after Trump’s critics and to shield Trump and his allies — and has argued that he worked to resist those efforts.

Berman has alleged he was fired by former U.S. Attorney General William Barr because his work was a threat to Trump’s reelection chances and that Trump’s Justice Department pushed him to indict Gregory Craig, the White House counsel for former President Obama, even after the Manhattan office found no reason to charge him.

On a media tour ahead of his new book’s release, Berman has also said he was pressured to criminally investigate former Secretary of State John Kerry.
Durbin noted that Berman “contends that Department officials pressured his office to remove references to President Trump from the charging document for Michael Cohen, his personal lawyer, as well as later attempts by Attorney General Barr himself to reverse Mr. Cohen’s conviction and stop related investigations entirely.”

The allegations “compound the already serious concerns” about Barr’s 2020 efforts “to replace Mr. Berman with a Trump loyalist,” Durbin wrote.

Trump fired Berman in 2020 after he refused to resign.

Durbin, in the letter to Garland, requested a number of documents and communications between the Justice Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, saying that “if accurate, Mr. Berman’s claims indicate multiple instances of political interference in the Department’s investigative and prosecutorial decisions.”

Berman’s new book, “Holding the Line,” is scheduled for publication Tuesday.

Poll: Majority Says GOP Hasn't Done Enough to Earn Midterm Vote
A majority of likely voters said Republicans have not made a strong enough case to earn their support in the November midterm elections, according to new survey results.

Only 33.9% of respondents said the GOP has made a strong enough argument to earn their votes, according to the poll by the Convention of States Action (COSA), in partnership with The Trafalgar Group.

A total of 56.1% said Republicans have not done enough; 10% said they are not sure.

In a potentially ominous sign for the GOP, 57.2% of independents said that the party has not made a strong enough case as to why it should earn support in the 2022 midterm elections. Only 28% said Republicans have made a strong case; 14.8% said they are not sure.

"Considering the failure of Afghanistan, inflation, student loans, the recession we are in, the attempted vaccine mandates, the border, and President [Joe] Biden's dark and dangerous speech recently, the Biden administration has been a complete disaster, and his record low approval numbers show that," Convention of States President Mark Meckler said.

"Logically, one would think that national Republicans would be riding high, able to take advantage of this situation to create momentum. Yet, the fact is the feckless leadership, poor communication, and what appears to be a nonexistent strategy is causing voters to say loud and clear: You need to try harder."

Meckler then offered a warning to Republicans hoping to regain control of Congress in November's election.


The COSA/Trafalgar survey was conducted Sept. 2-5 among more than 1,000 likely voters.

So out of touch with their constituents

It is a variation on Rick Scott’s “skin in the game” assault on humanity in government.

Remember the $1.9 trillion Aid to Families With Gulfstreams And Veyrons?
That was an example of the money going to the right people, by their lights.

Aiding the actually needy would involve abetting the wrong people i. e. the culprits in their paranoic fantasy about Great Replacement and other totalitarian fabrications.
