GOP senators had all same information about this soulless eugenicist freak that we had, and probably more, and still said yeah, let's put this guy in charge of public health. Nevermind his nomination was born of a corrupt bargain in the first place.
I’ve been calling and emailing my Senators and Representative daily. They’re red, so they won’t change. In today’s email to the Senators I told them that since they confirmed Kennedy they share responsibility. Won’t do any good but I feel better.
I keep doing the same. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been an RN for 40 years, but Kennedy’s confirmation has made me so angry. Those who voted for him (particularly “Dr.” Cassidy) share in the blame for whatever public health consequences there WILL be.
Get some friends together and go confront them in person the next time they're back in the state. That's clearly the thing they're most afraid of and therefore is likely to be the most effective.
Good on you. It is important to remind these people they will be held to account. If there are free and fair elections in future (doubtful) drive them out office. Boycott any company that hires them, or funds them. There is no hole deep enough for them to hide.
They don't want public input. They do not believe in democracy. What is it going to take to get elected officials to actually do something? Time for the truth. Do you support the Constitution and Americans or Trump? It can't be both. Trump and the oligarchs are destroying America. Unite and resist
The main thing I see is people excuse Republicans for not doing their job, since they don't expect anything better and demand Democrats do more, when they don't have enough people to stop most of this. Worse they threaten primaries, with someone who can't win later.
This is just another way to silence our voices because he knows we’re not going to agree with him so he doesn’t wanna hear it. I think we should put on true social media outlet attacking him before he even starts! We’re not going to be silenced!
Isn't that proof enough that he really knows he's wrong, and his pride can't stand to see his shithole so called truths be called just that. He's another person who stands on the shoulders of giants, otherwise, he'd just be a junkie Jonesing for his next fix.
I love how for years the right have talked about how "big government" controls everything and we need smaller government and their answer is to keep the people from the government not the bureaucrats.
Hmmm, guess where the 504 lawsuit came from-likely the preamble or the public comments section as it’s referenced!- and it was from the HHS department…🤔😡
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social - What are we doing in California to keep up to date on health issues and do we have agencies in place to order vaccines? @schiff.senate.gov
NO! That weaselly, vile Grim Reaper needs to read every comment from all of the Americans that he has harmed or killed. Shouldn’t be allowed to insulate himself from the chaos and death he is responsible for creating
Ah yes, so it is! Teach me to comment before I read. Interesting, but it does sound like some of those don’t fall under N&C. Probably can do it but definitely as you say cuts against his promise to make it ‘radically transparent’
THIS is more proof of the fact that new regime doesn't give a FLYING FUCK ABOUT AMERICANS AND IS JUST OUT TO MILK US FOR ALL WE'RE WORTH WHILE KILLING US OFF WITH INFECTIOUS DISEASES FOR WHICH THERE ARE NOW NO VACCINES.
He lied during his nomination - that should be grounds for his removal from office. His rhetoric has killed a child with 120 move ill in Texas and New Mexico. Next year will be worse.
Yet another cowardly bully who can't stand to have his "wittle feelings hurty".
Meanwhile, a child has died. And more children and adults will die in the future because of his extreme conspiracy theories regarding the nation's health.
It has always been a side of "stupid conservatism" - that which is not said does not exist - try to live in a conservative village here in Europe - where everybody knows somebody is an abuser - the knee jerk reaction is always to ignore it - my grandma a stall ward Burke conservative coined that
They don't want us to know what they're doing. They think they know what's best for the country and they'll try to ram it on through. They don't want any feedback from the mere citizens their policies impact. Kennedy as head of HHS is a bad, cruel, and potentially lethal joke.
RFK Jr.’s campaign has been full of misinformation and grandstanding, so it’s not surprising that people see through it. His rhetoric might sound anti-establishment, but his positions often lack depth or practicality. Wanting to be king doesn’t mean you deserve the crown.
Bill Cassidy should be truly ashamed. Along with the AMA and any other physician group that did not take a stand against this egregious choice of nominee.
Public comment on agency rule making is *not* optional. We've had lots of rules overturned for lack of sufficient public comment. Maybe they're planning on operating without official guidance, just vibes.
Every bit of catastrophe that will happen from Trump et al, is attached to every Republican in Congress.
Putin against NATO, surges in disease globally, mass starvation, economic crash, lawlessness, corruption, product safety failures, airplane disasters, etc.
All of it. Repubs choice.
Cassidy is the one who makes me the most angry with his vote for Kennedy. What kind of physician would do that? I wrote him a scathing letter which I’m sure no one will ever read, but it made me feel better to tell him he should be ashamed.
I agree! It was named, candidly, "War Department" 1789-1947, then had a bureaucratic title (National Military Establishment), then the newspeak Department of Defense title starting in 1949.
I’m done with this administration. There’s no saving them. They’re not going to get better. They’re all just completely unhinged lunatics and they needed to be yanked out of office asap.
I worked for the federal government. All our rulings and regulations went out for public comment so everyone could see what was happening. That will all change with this. Remember the mushroom- keep them in the dark and feed them shit.
Always fun to play the game of “Can you imagine if the [insert Democratic president] admin said they were going to stop taking public comment on agency actions?” Republicans would absolutely lose their shit.
Communities are going to have to schedule and conduct “public comments” sessions regardless. Alert the media and then let it rip. Yes it won’t impact HHS decision-making, but it never was going to anyway.
Not sure why I keep getting sent this document about how bureaucracies work. It is entitled "Don't Resign, Resist." Not sure how it is relevant here... https://www.dropbox.com/t/VpSRkKRaKfN5JSwY
The biggest hypocrites we've ever seen in the WH. Say one thing and do the completely opposite. And these are the things they ARE telling us? What's happening behind closed doors.
There is no way I can find to reach him or his office--I've been trying. I wanted to voice my concerns about flu vaccine and other issues relevant to my surviving. Any advice out there would be greatly appreciated.
Amazing how they all talk about "radical transparency" and then make the process as opaque as possible because they know that they're doing insane shit that everyone will hate
The article describes how technically they’re cutting down to the minimum required by the APA where previously they went beyond, so there may not be an opportunity for legal challenge. (Though it also seems likely they’ll overshoot.)
Even if they’re only cutting down to the APA minimum, the practical effects could still be devastating. Minimum compliance doesn’t always mean effective governance—especially for something as vital as Social Security. And as you said, if they overshoot, legal challenges could still be on the table.

RFK Jr., just remember: you reap what you sow.
Demand Republicans do their job.
Unbelievable!
Truly, not to be believed.
Get that into your worm damaged brain.

How many kids did you kill today
put it nicely. Another psychopath busy with his own bizarre anti-health agenda.
Well done, America!
Cuba exports doctors. It's all about human rights and planet rights with socialism. Capitalism is the terrorist threat to the whole world, not Cuba

You just published it. It is not "Quiet".
I guess if you have to have evil opponents, it helps if they’re dumb as a post
