Sen. Ron Johnson says he'll resist pressure on Trump's budget bill, talks Biden health investigation & MPS lead crisis https://t.co/ct38eRAjoW

On Elon Musk's decision to cut back on political spending, Johnson responded by touting DOGE. The Senator also agreed with Musk's criticism of President Trump's signature spending bill. Musk told @CBSNews the bill "undermines" the work of DOGE. https://t.co/GWnXOmXlU6

Vaccines: Johnson questioned whether the measles vaccine is linked to autism amid a rise in diagnosis. "I think it's entirely possible." Studies by the CDC and others have ruled that out. He also praised RFK Jr.'s decision to upend COVID-19 protocols for kids/pregnant women.
