This all gives me a headache

The stupidest person ever to sit behind the Resolute Desk has made most of the world feel sad for us. Let's check on why:

• Matthew Yglesias digs into the abject idiocy of the OAFPOTUS's war on Tylenol.
• Jeff Maurer puts on his OAFPOTUS mask and declaims "Tylenol is why I'm like this."

And yet, both Jennifer Rubin and Josh Marshall see the tide turning hard against the administration, though George Packer thinks we now live in an authoritarian state.

Meanwhile,

• Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has called an in-person meeting of all 900 or so general and flag officers next week, an unprecedented move made even weirder by his office not telling any of them why.
• Yascha Mounk shakes his head at former US Senator Kamala Harris's refusal to acknowledge why the Democratic Party lost the last election.

And finally, the mold count in Chicago hit an all-time high on Tuesday of 82,121, which is nothing to sneeze at. The mold count is forecast to remain high until the first frost, which might be in November given the climate predictions this fall.
