The federal government’s move to insert itself into local policing decisions in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and (soon it seems) Chicago is not just overreach but an expansion of federal nullification.

The federal government’s decision to assume control of the Metropolitan Police Department is a troubling overreach that ignores the facts and undermines our democracy. Crime in Washington, D.C. is not spiraling up. It is trending down.

Decisions […] The post Official Statement on the Supreme Court Decision in U.S. vs. Skrmetti appeared first on NAPNAP.| NAPNAP
The National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) is deeply disturbed by statements made by Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the agency’s June 9 press release, “HHS Takes Bold Step to Restore Public Trust in Vaccines by Reconstituting ACIP.” The secretary stated: “Today we are prioritizing the restoration […]| NAPNAP
April is Autism Awareness Month. In recent weeks, HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy, Jr. has made several misleading, alarmist and in many cases, categorically untrue statements about autism. Let’s get some of the facts straight. First and foremost, let’s be clear: autism does not “destroy” the children who have it or their families. There are millions […]| NAPNAP
