Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Shea Stevens. The Trump administration is blaming the common drug acetaminophen for increased cases of autism. Medical groups say there is no clear evidence showing any causal link. NPR's Nell Greenfield Boyce reports that the National Institute Institutes of Health recently awarded more than $50 million to explore the roots of autism.

He said past NIH research on autism has not given families the answers they wanted. The NIH did, however, one very large study looking at acetaminophen use in pregnancy and the risk of autism.

Cena Totenberg, the court's action is technically temporary since the justices will hear arguments in the case in December. But by allowing the firing of Rebecca Slaughter from the Federal Trade Commission, the court seems all but certain to overturn a nearly century old precedent that barred presidents from firing members of bipartisan regulatory agencies except for bad conduct. Dissenting for the court's three liberals, Justice Elena Kagan noted that Congress enacted the bipartisan agency framework. She he said the emergency docket should not be used as it was here to transfer government authority from Congress to the president and thus to reshape the nation's separation of powers.

Following a groundswell of public support, Jimmy Kimmel Live returns to the airwaves Tuesday night. ABC's parent Disney says it temporarily suspended Kimmel's late night show because the comedian made ill timed remarks about the suspect in the murder of Charlie Kirk. And as NPR's Mandalit del Barco reports, Kimmel's peers in the entertainment industry took a stand on ABC's actions.

More than 400 entertainers announced they had signed an open letter condemning Disney's decision to suspend the show. That included actors Pedro Pascal, Selena Gomez, Lin Manuel Miranda, singer Olivia Rodrigo. All of them have worked with Disney. Well, that letter was issued in collaboration with the aclu, and it said that regardless of their political affiliation or whether they engage in politics or not, quote, we all love our country. We also share the belief that our voices should never be silenced by those in power, because if it happens to one of us, it happens to all of us.

Mandalit del Barco, you're listening to npr. The US now recognizes various anti fascist groups, collectively known as Antifa, as a domestic terrorist organization. President Trump has signed an executive order accusing ANTIFA of organizing political violence and attacks on law enforcement. The order directs the administration to investigate and dismantle individuals and groups aligned with Antifa ideology. A 2018 report from the non partisan Congressional Research Service cited literature encouraging ANTIFA followers to monitor and expose white supremacist groups. A Category 4 hurricane is expected to continue causing swells along coastal areas of bermuda and the U.S. mid Atlantic over the next few days. As NPR's Giles Snyder reports, Hurricane Gabrielle is now packing top winds of 140 mph.

Although swells began affecting Bermuda on Sunday, forecasters at the National Hurricane center in Miami say Hurricane Gabrielle does not pose a direct threat to land. However, the latest advisory warns that Gabrielle is likely to kick up life threatening surf and rip currents from North Carolina northward to Canada's Atlantic coast. Gabrielle gained strength over the warm waters of the Atlantic. But while the hurricane center expects the storm to gradually weaken, forecasters are advising people in the Azores archipelago to keep an eye on the storm as it makes its way north and east toward the islands by the end of the week. Trial Snyder, NPR News.
