Robert F. Kennedy Jr

👆 His ecstatic laughter infected the crowd, the musicians, and caterers making it the most joyous event I ever attended. I relived that joy in our frequent FaceTime calls and on my visits to Florida and his to Cape Cod. He never complained. He was always grateful always brimming with gratitude, love, and kindness. Most of us work a lifetime to get into heaven. Michael had a ticket there the day he was born. @RealRobertKennedy

My heart is broken. Today we said our final goodbye to Cheryl’s nephew Michael Hines one week short of his 21st birthday. Michael, who spent his life in a wheelchair from cerebral palsy, made himself the center hub for our family and of a giant community of friends. Michael was only marginally verbal and weighed only 65 pounds but his indomitable spirit, giant personality, and wide smile made him a blinding light in any room. A lifetime in a wheelchair never dampened his valiant soul and his heroics inspired all of us who were lucky enough to know him. At our wedding, he spent hours on the dance floor riding aloft on a hundred hands in front of the bandstand. 👇

Decades of working as an environmental lawyer and advocate has convinced me that the most effective solution to environmental pollution is free market capitalism. @RealRobertKennedy

RFK Jr. has been fighting unchecked corporate power and destructive environmental policies for decades. In this clip from a 2012 visit to the University of Chicago Law School, Bobby says the same thing he says today, 12 years later: that allowing corporations to pollute is effectively a subsidy paid for by the American people. In a truly free market, polluters must clean up after themselves – not make themselves rich by forcing the public to pick up the bill. @RealRobertKennedy

What would happen if our government’s spending could be tracked by every American? @RealRobertKennedy

Abortion has been a notoriously divisive issue in America, but actually I see an emerging consensus — abortion should be legal up until a certain number of weeks, and restricted thereafter. Even in the reddest of red states, voters reject total abortion bans. And on the other end, almost no one supports gruesome third-trimester abortions except to save the life of the mother. I've been a medical freedom advocate for my entire career and have fought for bodily autonomy, and I trust women’s maternal instincts. What if the baby has some fatal condition that ensures it will survive just hours or days after birth in intense suffering? Can we, should we, legislate such painful decisions and take them away from the mother? Is a bureaucrat or judge better equipped than the baby’s own mother to decide? Cases like this are why I am leery of inserting the government into abortion. I had been assuming that virtually all late-term abortions were such cases, but I’ve learned that my assumption was wrong. Sometimes, women abort healthy, viable late-term fetuses. These cases of purely “elective” late-term abortion are very upsetting. Once the baby is viable outside the womb, it should have rights and it deserves society’s protection. I learned this because I was willing to listen — to my family, advisors, supporters, and others who shared their perspectives. My promise to myself and to America is that I will continue to listen and incorporate what I learn into my decisions. I support the emerging consensus that abortion should be unrestricted up until a certain point. I believe that point should be when the baby is viable outside the womb. Therefore I would allow appropriate restrictions on abortion in the final months of pregnancy, just as Roe v. Wade did. That is the principle that will guide my actions as President, whether implemented by Congress, the states, or in court. It is the right policy for our country. It is the will of the people. But there is more to it than that. We should be looking at why there are so many abortions in the first place. The biggest reason according to studies is affordability. Almost three-quarters of women cite economic reasons to explain why they chose to abort a pregnancy. So, we have developed a policy that we call “More Choices, More Life.” We can reduce abortion across the board by supporting motherhood, supporting parents, and supporting families. Soon we’ll unveil our plan for universally affordable child care, which will cap child care expenses at 10% for most families. And we will support women in need so that abortion isn’t their only choice. @RealRobertKennedy

When Franklin Roosevelt famously said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself,” he was referring to totalitarian leaders in Europe using fear to induce compliance in their citizens. We’ve seen this tactic throughout history in other nations, and we’ve seen it – are still seeing it – with our own government. @RealRobertKennedy

Storm clouds gathering for the American economy: 1. 43% of small businesses couldn’t pay their rent in full and on time in April. 2. 2600 retail stores closed in 2024 3. Nearly 100 million Americans in “ALICE:” category (Asset limited, income constrained, employed). 4. Another 38 million in poverty. This isn’t only President Biden’s fault or President Trump’s. It is the result of decades of decline going back to the 1970s. My top priority as President is to turn this around. @RealRobertKennedy

👆👆 Every Republican Senator signed this letter. But where are the Democrats? Don’t they care about free speech and retaining sovereignty over health and information? Don’t they understand the dangers of giving the WHO power over the entire world? A Kennedy administration will always protect Americans’ free speech and autonomy. We will never support the WHO or any global institution managing our affairs, locking us down, censoring our dissent, or imposing mandates. @RealRobertKennedy

49 Republican Senators wrote to President Biden demanding he withdraw U.S. support for the WHO Pandemic “Agreement" and major amendments to the International Health Regulations. The Senators point out that these 2 documents would: 1. Give the WHO Director-General the authority to unilaterally declare health emergencies 2. Expand the WHO’s authority over nations, infringing on their sovereignty 3. Interfere with free speech Furthermore, the Senators demand that if the Biden administration continues to support them, they must be submitted to the Senate, where a 2/3 vote is needed for ratification. That’s basic Constitutional law. @RealRobertKennedy
