RFK Jr.’s lies about autism are disgraceful — and I won't share them to spread misinformation.

He consistently undermines public health and reinforces dangerous myths.

In Illinois, we stand with those with autism, and I’ll keep fighting for inclusion, science, and the truth.

Autistic people and their loved ones have swiftly and publicly rejected statements by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nation’s top health official, that people with autism will never play baseball, date, pay taxes or have a job.
RFK Jr. said autistic people don’t work or play sports. They say he’s wrong.
The health and human services secretary on Wednesday suggested that autistic children would never play baseball or pay taxes, enraging those in the community.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Last night we shared a “never give up” moment. Sen. Chris Van Hollen was absolutely determined to visit with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and he succeeded in making it happen. Immense thanks to @vanhollen.senate.gov

I was elected in 2010 with Kristie Noem. She used to be kind, compassionate, and put her faith above any personal gain.

For years the right has fed on conspiracy theories about the “globalist billionaire” Soros buying our democracy. Yet when Musk actually does it, it’s crickets.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

The Sunday shows are keeping it real—Schumer gave away the game for nothing.

Jen Psaki lays out what he could have done. He played this wrong on every level.

And with a Social Security, Medicare, and a tax cut fight coming, do you really want @schumer.senate.gov leading the fight?!

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

People are talking to me.

This looks like they were taking a shot at USAID ... with a grenade. People working for USAID under a personal service contract outnumber those who do not. Essentially everyone working as a foreign service national is a PSC, as are about 1,100 of USAID's employees.

Dear Leaders of the Free World,

Make his life miserable.
Expose his ignorance and sociopathy.
Oppose and condemn and marginalize him.
The decent people of this nation are not with him.
