Trump blaming people with disabilities really makes the lack of an outspoken advocate for people with disabilities in the Senate like a Ted Kennedy or a tom Harkin or a Bob Casey or a Sherrod Brown felt. Or an Orrin Hatch or Bob Dole.

Portland to pay largest-ever settlement in suit over excessive police force
The settlement could set a precedent for future excessive police force lawsuits.
A disabled protester (with the same disability as I have, Osteogenesis imperfecta) was awarded $400K after being kicked in his wheelchair during 2020 racial justice protests. Let this be a precedent: www.axios.com/local/portla...

With Sherrod Brown and Bob Casey losing, Democrats lost two big voices for disability rights. Sherrod Brown was a huge advocate for lifting the asset limit on SSI. Bob Casey supported special education and spending more on Medicaid home services. #PASen #CripTheVote #OHSen

Opinion | Trump's embrace of RFK Jr. is demoralizing for autistic people like me
Kennedy sees autistic people as problems to be solved, not as people with disabilities who deserve to be accepted.
Iβve spent the last decade chronicling the #Autism rights movement and #Neurodiversity as a political movement. It had slow but gradual gains. But RFK Jr.βs nomination to HHS takes a sledgehammer to those hard-won gains.
