Pennsylvania’s autistic lawmakers condemn Trump-Kennedy approach to the disorder • Pennsylvania Capital-Star
Two state lawmakers in the commonwealth, both Democrats, are openly autistic. They have decried the administration’s approach to addressing the developmental disorder.

Trump & RFK Jr.’s fearmongering about autism + Tylenol is dangerous & insulting. PA @repjess.com & Rep. Abigail Salisbury—both openly autistic—are calling it out, demanding science, respect, and real support for autistic people, not stigma.

“If the marriage equality bill were to come up for a vote in the state Senate, I am more than confident that it would pass with significant bipartisan support. So ... what is Senate Republican leadership afraid of, and why won’t they bring it up for a vote?”

Awaiting SCOTUS action, these Pa. lawmakers want to protect same-sex marriage here
The move comes as the U.S. Supreme Court was asked to consider taking on a case that could overturn Obergefell v. Hodges.

Transit funding is about real people + real jobs in every PA county.
✅ Fund transit
✅ Fix roads & bridges
✅ Create local jobs
✅ No new taxes
The House acted, 5 times! The Senate has no excuse. If they say no? They owe Pennsylvanians an answer and a plan.

Just voted yes on the General Appropriations bill, not because it’s perfect, but because it’s progress toward advancing the final budget bills.
This bill invests in schools, health care, housing, and public safety. Pennsylvanians deserve action, not delays.

PA is the only large state without a False Claims Act, and it’s costing us millions. The Taxpayer Protection Against Fraud Act would crack down on fraud, protect whistleblowers, and help recover taxpayer money. It’s time to hold bad actors accountable. 💸
