[esquared]

He's lying like the vaccine denier he is in the Senate committee today.

Some senators are holding his feet to the fire.
Mr brain worm needs to go now, before the CDC, and the FDA, become unrecognizable

Guy on a crusade against toxins buries a report on a leading cause of cancer for the sake of the lobbyists.

Exclusive: RFK Jr. and the White House buried a major study on alcohol and cancer. Here’s what it shows.

Kennedy wants to “Make America Healthy Again” — but doesn’t want you to see a report that could do just that.

The findings will at least still be published, so there's that.
Drinking raw milk and swimming in raw sewage probably makes the cancer go away, especially if paired with a steady diet of roadkill.

Yes she did.
WTF is with his voice. I can barely understand him.

He's standing his ground so hopefully, this is he hill he dies on.
Making so many enemies left and right, that the syphilitic orange menace has no choice but to fire his ass.

Wonder how much "old guy meds" RFK is on right now. But fuck modern medicine if I am not taking it I guess?

Also raw, amirite?

"But neither Kennedy, who has been in addiction recovery himself for decades"
This is all that needs to be said about Mr Brainworm.

This fucking administration.
Thank you every motherfucking republican that voted for this clown show.
I have been registered as a republican in the past. I am an independent that votes with democrats. The shit show is crazy right now.

She called him what he really is, a charlatan.

Sounds a lot like spasmodic dysphonia, I have a friend whose mother has it. If you listen to NPR, host Diane Rehm had the same condition for many years before she retired. I noticed it in Kennedy a year or so ago the first time I heard him speak. It seems to have gotten much worse lately,

You seem to be right
I googled spasmodic dysphonia, and got this

"AI Overview

Democrats should weaponize Federalism...unless Republicans do it first. Either way, the winding down of the US as an Empire was always going to be a thing. It's a shame that instead of having Democrats preserve as much as possible, Republicans are going to destroy as much as possible.

The problem with this approach is that if it's state mandated but not federally mandated the state has to pay the cost for people buying policies for individuals.

What’s the problem with that? They can tax businesses since they would presumably benefit the most from it.

Well, if he was trying to turn blue he's doing it wrong.
