What to know about RFK Jr.'s autism registry plan Experts have called out Kennedy for describing autism as a "preventable disease."

Because compiling large lists of Americans with a specific diagnosis won’t be used to discriminate people. www.axios.com/2025/04/23/a...

That's the MAGA Grifter Game Plan - they distract you over here with a little anti-trans bigotry in an executive order about school sports, while billionaires over there are stealing your Social Security number.

The health and wellbeing of 330 million Americans is now in your hands, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

We're prepared to work with you, but we expect you to take action to preserve accessible healthcare for everyone.

The agencies you oversee must remain grounded in science and integrity.

Thanks to my administration's economic agenda, Illinois doubled private sector investments from $6.3 billion in 2023 to $12.5 billion in 2024 - quadrupling the number of retained jobs in our state.

JD Vance is saying the quiet part out loud: the Trump administration intends to break the law.

America is a nation of laws. The courts make sure we follow the laws.

The VP doesn’t control the courts, and the President cannot ignore the Constitution.

No one is above the law.

Farmers on the hook for millions after Trump freezes USDA funds The White House had repeatedly said the funding freeze would not impact benefits that go directly to individuals.

Farmers report missing millions of dollars of funding they were promised by the U.S. Agriculture Department, despite promises from the Trump administration that a federal funding freeze would not apply to projects directly benefiting individuals.

Trump fires a four star coast guard chief - head of the USCG (because of course she’s DEI), the head of the TSA, over 3000 air traffic controllers because they were "DEI", and a major air safety commission. 8 days later….

Total coincidence, I'm sure. 🙄

The days ahead will be tough, I won't lie to you.

But we're Illinois — we're strong, we hang together, and we will win.

Let's be clear about what happened today: Donald Trump tried to cut a giant chunk of government funding — hurting preschoolers, seniors, and veterans.

Trump's illegal shutdown is blocked for now — but don't forget that he tried to cut programs supporting working families.

That's right - we should cut government waste.

But we're seeing Trump and Musk's plan in action: pausing federal funds that rip school lunch away from preschoolers and end Meals on Wheels for seniors. That's not efficiency, it's cruelty.

I have better ideas.

Let me say this in no uncertain terms: the President’s actions today are illegal.
 
Cutting off people from healthcare, childcare, and other services is cruel.

The State of Illinois will fight this unlawful order with everything we have.
