RFK Jr. says there aren't autistic poets. We asked an autistic poet. "I will challenge RFK Jr. to write a poem as good as me any day of the week."

RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one.

Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

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.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I think Marco Rubio probably needs to be sent back to school.. When you arbitrarily rip up trade agreements, threaten a country, and say you’re going to break it, that’s an act of war. And Canadians have responded in kind.

Finland is the happiest country in the world for the eighth year in a row For the eighth year in a row, Finland ranked in the top spot on the World's Happiness Report's annual ranking of the happiest countries in the world.

It’s that time of the year again when Finns get very upset about having been ranked the happiest country in the world AGAIN and have to tell everyone on the internet that it’s not true and everything’s really in a horrible state in Finland !!
