As HHS Sec he would control HIV.gov, and stymie all govt efforts to end the epidemic.

Diversity in clinical trials is about health, not politics. The major of research in the past was done on (mostly white) men. If trials do not have a diverse pool, the results are not broadly applicable.

About 40 top Trump + Biden officials last week met to plan for the next pandemic.
They spent an hour on how to be ready for avian flu.
RFK Jr skipped it. He was on Capitol Hill, lobbying senators to vote for him, and sharing vaccine theories.

The swamp is growing.
Trump reversed a policy that required federal workers to obey common sense ethics rules.
Now, govt employees can:
- accept gifts from lobbyists
- become lobbyists right after leaving govt.
This is a clear ethics disaster.

The USAF, at the order of the Commander in Chief, will cease lessons involving The Tuskegee Airmen.
Over 30 of these decorated combat pilots are resting with honor in Arlington.
This isn't about DEI. This is outright racism & segregationist ideology - the very ideology these men fought against.

New on MSNBC: Vice President Harris will fly back to Los Angeles today with an all-female U.S. Air Force crew — the first time an all-female crew has operated a C-33.
Upon landing, Harris will visit a local fire station and then distribute food to community members impacted by the wildfires.

Saying “I promise not to drink on the job” because you have a record of drinking on the job, should be disqualifying as fuck for ANY job, let alone the Secretary of Defense.
Why didn’t he also say, “I promise not to sexually assault any women on the job.”
