Anyone who believes fraud is rampant should be forced to try and apply. It's a fucking nightmare designed to say no!
Existing disability services are deeply underfunded, aggressively audited, means-tested constantly, and can be labyrinthine to even access or maintain without assistance. As someone who spent two decades as a cog in that system, concerns about fraud are overblown compared to the real existing need.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

Everyone should also use alt text because the captions are often very funny AND they help explain inside jokes—or even obvious jokes!—that morons like me can then understand and feel included ❤️

I'm voting against him again with my entire being the next time he runs. Advocating for the murder of civilians is evil.
A U.S. senator is justifying war crimes: the military acting as judge, jury, and executioner for non-capital offenses. A reminder that there is evidence innocent passengers were onboard these vessels.
