Hello! Rebecca Morin here. Maybe I'll stop talking about Bad Bunny one day, but today is not that day. His residency officially came to an end this weekend and I'm sad about that. 

Trump expected to announce 'answer' to autism

President Donald Trump is lauding this announcement as one of the biggest in the "history of the country." Trump is set to make an announcement about autism on Monday at 4 p.m. with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Research spanning decades hasn't yielded firm answers on what contributes to autism, but many scientists believe genetics play a role, potentially in combination with environmental influences. Trump teased the announcement during remarks at Charlie Kirk's memorial service on Sunday. 

What's Trump going to announce? He's expected to announce that Tylenol use during pregnancy could contribute to the development of autism in children, according to Politico and The Washington Post. Trump and his advisers are also expected to discuss a potential treatment for autism, the drug leucovorin, the news organizations reported.

Tylenol disputes Trump claim: Tylenol parent company Kenvue issued a statement saying independent scientific research shows that taking acetaminophen is "the safest pain reliever option for pregnant women as needed throughout their entire pregnancy." Follow the latest on Trump's announcement.

TikTok deal reached

Looks like Americans won't have to worry about deleting the TikTok app off their phone. The popular video and social media app reached a preliminary deal to sell its U.S. operations to an American-based investor group that will allow the popular video app to continue operating for its 170 million users in the country, senior White House officials said. The agreement would spin off Beijing-based TikTok's United States operations to a new joint venture composed of majority American ownership. Oracle, a U.S.-based technology firm, would serve as TikTok's security provider for its American operations. What to know about the deal.
