Hearings on the Hill
Seats are still hot in the Senate.
In confirmation hearings this week, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.––President Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) nominee––faced intense questioning from Democrats on past vaccine comments, shifting abortion views, and financial conflicts of interest. He stated that he is not “anti-vax” (but advocated for safer vaccines) and promised to take on chronic disease and ultra-processed foods.
RFK Jr. is expected to face a razor-thin full Senate vote next week.
Meanwhile, Trump’s picks for FBI (Kash Patel) and Director of National Intelligence (Tulsi Gabbard) also had fiery hearings yesterday. Patel stated he didn’t support President Trump’s commutation of January 6 rioters, while Gabbard was questioned on her past support of intelligence leaker Edward Snowden and her qualifications to oversee the nation’s spy agencies.
