Watching the Democrats in Congress lately feels like watching a boxing movie where your protagonist has been bought off to take a dive.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”.
