Todays episode catches RFK Jr.s whirlwind past few days as HHS Secretary, zeroing in on moves that could reshape Americas health for decades.

Kicking off with the blockbuster from just yesterday, RFK Jr. dropped jaws on CBS 60 Minutes Sunday night, vowing the FDA will act on former Commissioner David Kesslers petition to reexamine ultra-processed food ingredients like high-fructose corn syrup and refined flours, calling them poison fueling obesity and chronic diseases.

This builds on his MAHA crusade, echoing last months dietary guidelines that first warned against salty-sweet packaged junk. Politico details his year-long trench war with Big Food, from pesticide clashes in heated White House meetings to dialing back glyphosate rhetoric after GOP senators pounded the table right back.

Monday, HHS.gov announced Kennedy beefing up his management team to turbocharge Trumps priorities and MAHA, a quiet but significant pivot for long-term overhauls.
