Look, this isn’t personal. I don’t know RFK Jr. But I do know he’s incompetent and entirely unfit to be leading our nation’s health.
RFK Jr. is dangerous for America. He must resign or be fired.

RFK Jr had committed to Bill Cassidy, as a condition to win his vote, that he would keep website language.
Cassidy in February: “If confirmed… CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism.”

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

RFK Jr wants many children to die of measles. The centrist position of just letting A FEW children die of measles might sound clever if you've got worms in your brain, but I can promise that, "ZERO CHILDREN SHOULD DIE OF MEASLES" will win my vote.
My favorite thing as a writer is when I start ranting about something on Bluesky, get it all out of my system, and then turn it into a real piece of writing.
