Warnock to RFK: "You are a hazard to the health of the American people.”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was summoned to a Senate finance subcommittee hearing and was met with bipartisan skewering. The most notable moments being RFK being cornered into explaining his anti-vax actions as head of HHS while also glomming on about his boss' (Donald Trump) "Operation Warp Speed" by GOP Senator Bill Cassidy, and Rev. Senator Raphael Warnock flatly stating that he is "a hazard to the health of the American people."

It isn't just the man in the office; it's the entire "anti-vaccine" movement that has Florida's surgeon general pursuing an end to vaccine mandates for public schools in that state. Next family trip to Disney or Universal, imagine the kids around yours in line for those rides and guess if they're vaccinated. Might you be reconsidering taking that trip?

The new wrinkle in the Epstein saga comes from a DOJ staffer telling a woman on a first date (wow, what a flex) that his agency is working feverishly to redact/remove Republicans from the Epstein files while leaving Democrats exposed. Meanwhile, Marjorie Taylor Greene is being praised from the likes of Democratic House Rep. Ro Khanna and AJC op/ed writer/reporter Patricia Murphy for remaining dogged in her pursuit of the files' relesae.
