Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

"I demanded access to the Broadview ICE facility to conduct oversight - as is my right as a Member of Congress. I was denied. No accountability. No transparency. THIS is the Trump Administration."
