      From the article:

      Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has signed a first-in-the-nation executive order to block the federal government from collecting personal health data related to autism, a direct rebuke to the Trump administration.

      Democrat Pritzker, who has been one of the more vocal critics of Trump’s second administration, signed the order last week, saying he wanted to protect “dignity, privacy, and the freedom to live without fear of surveillance or discrimination.”

      It came two days after U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a plan to use data maintained by the National Institutes of Health, and claims submitted for Medicare and Medicaid coverage, to determine the causes of autism. While the agency did not release details of the plan, Kennedy promised it would follow “applicable privacy laws to protect Americans’ sensitive health information.”

      Good! Finally someone is standing up for their constituents.  You don’t back down to bullies.

      This is a Good Start^tm . Now who’s going to write their own governors and ask them to do the same thing? I will, though I doubt it’ll do any good here.

      Its a good one. There’s no reason the feds need access to that kind of personal info. Medical stuff should stay private unless there’s a legit reason to share it. I hope more states do the same.

      This man should be the front runner to be the nomination as the next Democratic Party presidential candidate

      Heck yea Pritzker! People left and right shat all over him when he was elected but he is awesome! I would love if he is our next POTUS. Yea he is rich, but fights for the little guys despite the current fake billionaire in office.

      MAGA’s obsession with tracking neurodivergent people is creepy and flirting with eugenics.

      Completely unsurprising that the Autism Speaks rep was quietly going to bat for RFK Jr. and his database.
