Well, I told my elected official to protect public media, and not rescind the funds previously approved for it, I got this response from my Congressperson, Troy Nehls:
I appreciate learning of your policy concerns. Your input is critical in guiding me on how to best represent my constituents.
As you may know, H.R. 1216, the Defund Government Sponsored Propaganda Act, would prohibit federal funding for the National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) due to their partisan bias.
So, instead of telling me he understands how important funding is to the vital service that is public broadcasting, he told me about a separate bill that would defund public broadcasting "due to their partisan bias".
Uggghhhhh. I hate this world.
This is apparently Trump's version of diplomacy: talking to other world leaders like you're an angry kid on the playground on fake Twitter.

I think I've figured out why RFK Jr has such a poorly informed perception of autism and autistic people: why he thinks autism "destroys families" and why autistic people will "never hold a job" or "use a toilet unassisted".
The problem is that he only knows one autistic person. And he's seen how that person is unable to fit into society and how that person destroys lives.
But he doesn't realize that Elon Musk's problems actually have nothing at all to do with his autism. And most autistic people don't actually have the same devastating impact on others that Elon has. Elon Musk is just a terrible person, and that's completely unrelated to his autism.
I mean, if I thought all autistic people were like Elon Musk, I'd be desperately searching for a cure too.
Thankfully, I've known some wonderful autistic people who are interesting and curious and enrich the lives of those around them.
Maybe if Bobby met some autistic people who weren't Elon Musk, he'd change his tune.
