JB Pritzker: “Autism is not an epidemic it’s a difference in how the brain works. Autism is not caused by vaccines. It’s not caused by Tylenol. Blaming vaccines or medicine for autism is not just wrong, it’s harmful. It stigmatizes real people and spreads lies that hurt families”

My dad started Head Start. Head Start has changed the lives of millions of families. Head Start’s work is vital to children and working families today.

This is a potential disaster. Let’s not let this happen!

What @CoryBooker just did on the Senate floor is exactly what we need. If Democrats can’t meet this moment, then they must step aside. We need warriors and if you aren’t one, then this isn’t your time.

Happy Warrior Entertainment is so proud to have produced this incredible project. Now, more than ever, we need the wisdom of our intellects, the patriotism of our citizens, and the passion and talents of those who still believe in the American experiment. I am deeply grateful to Timothy Snyder for his 20 Lessons On Tyranny and for talents of the brilliant John Lithgow for bringing them to life. Great thanks to David Bender for his vision, the support of Abigail Disney, Susan Disney Lord, and Timothy Disney, and the imagination and direction of Sean McGowan, the producer of the PoliticsGirl Project.

The Marine Band invited young musicians of color to perform—until Trump’s executive order shut it down. But they refused to be silenced. With military band veterans stepping in, they played for a nation that needed to hear them.

To President Zelenskyy, From an Embarrassed American,

Dear President Zelenskyy,

As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here.

I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders.

For the past decade I, like many of those who call this place home, have marveled at your courage, your resilience, and your dignity in the face of the unthinkable atrocities committed against you and your people by Vladimir Putin and his accomplices.

With every passing day, my respect for you has grown as I have witnessed you lead with a humanity that has steadfastly defied the inhumanity of those assailing you.

In the face of a sustained, violent, raw-throated hatred you’ve never responded in kind. Throughout the vicious and incessant attacks on both your nation and your character, you have never compromised yourself, never allowed yourself to be defined by the bigotry of your assailants, and you never disrespected them or let them win by becoming as monstrous as them.

I hope you realize that I and tens of millions of Americans stand with you and the Ukrainian people—and firmly against Donald Trump, JD Vance, and the Republican Party.

We are ashamed of their disrespect, their lack of empathy, and their partnership with your oppressors. We are mortified at their endorsement of and collaboration with this attempted genocide.

Though our voices will never be as loud or impactful as theirs are, we needed you to know how much we abhor that you are having to endure this terrible ugliness in the name of our nation—and that their voices do not represent us.

President Zelenskyy, the vast majority of this Americans are fully sickened to our core by the violence visited upon you every day. In the small spaces of our lives we are moving in solidarity with you: displaying your flag, publicly advocating for you and your people, and pushing back against the hatred here that you are on the receiving end of.

These words likely bring very little solace in the face of all that is upon your shoulders, the immeasurable suffering your people have already endured, and the unfathomable fears you all carry—but they are nonetheless, words I needed to say to you.

I am but one human being, just a single American; and yet I know that I represent tens of millions of similarly outraged, similarly broken-hearted, similarly grieving people here who will continue to support you with our finances, our prayers, and our voices.

We know that you are a man of peace and that you are not the aggressor here. We see through the propaganda of our clearly-compromised President. We condemn his cowardice, his ignorance, and repugnant disregard for you as a human being and for your great nation.

We believe that the people of Ukraine deserve sovereignty, safety, and to live freely, and we are so very sorry that our own leadership is making this all less possible for you, that America has become an adversary instead of an ally.

May you be protected, may your nation endure, may our nation transcend our leaders, and may we all arrive on the other side of these incredibly dark days in the dawn of a world that will be more compassionate and beautiful than this one.

With regret and grief over our leaders, and in gratitude for you,

An Embarrassed American
