Senate panel advances RFK Jr.'s nomination to be health secretary The Senate Finance Committee voted along party lines to send Kennedy’s bid to lead the Department of Health and Human Services to the full chamber.

This vote alone is a dangerous endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s health misinformation and lies. How many lives are Republicans willing to risk for this nominee? The Senate must not confirm RFK Jr. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Senator Markey says: Will you confirm again that the trip had nothing to do with vaccines. RFK Jr. says: It did not. Senator Markey says: I have in my hand a blog post in 2021 in which you say the anti-vaccine group…which you ran, offered to fund the trip… and the trip was ultimately arranged by an anti-vaccine activist

If you’re wondering how RFK Jr.’s confirmation hearing went.

I’m so tired of this ‘mandate’ BS and ‘the American people said…’ nonsense.

Trump didn’t win a majority of the popular vote, and beat Harris by one of the smallest popular vote margins (1.5%) in US history. If you factor in turnout, he got the votes of less than 1 in 3 eligible voters in the US.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
