RFK Jr.'s confirmation comes after months of controversy and debate, largely focused on his past comments casting doubt on the safety of vaccines.

Just in time for a new pandemic too. RIP Americans.

    We’re gonna need a lot more Luigis. Doctors can prescribe off-label to continue doing medicine, but the insurance companies will be happy for excuses to deny payments with government approval.

    The final vote was 52 to 48.

    Media acts like this is new. The same vote total for all of the crazy confirmations. Republicans will have one of two people do a song and dance as long as the have the votes.

    Added : “crazy”

      Rubio’s confirmation vote was unanimous. Schumer had the god awful idea to let the Dems vote yes on the less-insane picks to hopefully get some GOP defectors for the worst picks like Patel, Tulsi, and Kennedy. Fantastic idea, really.🙄
