Markwayne Mullin, U.S. Senator from Oklahoma, has recently posted a series of tweets addressing Democratic Party actions in Congress and recent initiatives on autism. The tweets were published on September 23 and 24, 2025.
On September 23, Mullin criticized Democratic lawmakers, stating: “Unpopular Dems are under pressure from their radical left base to pick a fight w/ @POTUS. Here’s where we stand: 1) 96% of @SenateDems supported 13 short-term bills to keep the government open under Biden. 2) Now, Chuck Schumer is holding Americans hostage *unless* we”. Later that day, he added: “They will never learn.”
The following day, Mullin reported on meetings at the White House and referenced a new plan regarding autism: “Just wrapped some productive meetings at the White House. Did you see President Trump and @SecKennedy’s latest action plan to address the autism epidemic— which has surged 400% since 2000?”.
The increase in autism diagnoses cited by Mullin aligns with data showing that rates have risen significantly over the past two decades, with experts attributing much of this rise to broader diagnostic criteria and increased awareness among healthcare professionals and families.
Senator Markwayne Mullin has been an active voice in congressional debates related to government funding and public health issues.
