Senate Confirms RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary
Sen. Mitch McConnell voted no because of course.
The Senate confirmed Robert Kennedy Jr. as President Donald Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, 52-48.
Sen. Mitch McConnell voted no because of course. He also voted against Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence.
If McConnell voted no out of principal it would not make me mad. But he’s voting no out of spite like a toddler throwing a tantrum because his mom served him Kraft Mac & Cheese in noodle shapes instead of dinosaurs.

This is great news. I must confess when I listened to his hearing on the radio I thought it was Stephen Hawking.
RFK Jr.’s raspy, trembling-like voice is the result of a rare neurological condition known as spasmodic dysphonia, which has afflicted Mr. Kennedy for decades.
Spasmodic dysphonia is a neurological disorder that causes involuntary spasms in the muscles that open and close a person’s vocal cords, resulting in a voice that presents with breaks and strained/strangled quality or breathy quality.
An estimated 50,000 people in North America are believed to have spasmodic dysphoria. The cause of the condition is unknown.
RE: Ghostrider and RFK Jr.’s Spasmodic Disphonia.
There is a possible cure for Spasmodic Disphonia. Ask Grok or perplexity.com (Google, what’s Google?) about Scott Adams experience with the disease.
Here is the key, but less nuanced, version of what you will find:
“Surgery: Adams eventually found a surgical solution. He has mentioned in posts on X that he underwent surgery which cured his spasmodic dysphonia. Specifically, he credits Dr. Gerald S. Berke for performing the surgery that led to his recovery. ”
He speaks of this regularly on his podcasts.
Scott Adams is an excellent example of an unelected public servant.
If RFK Jr was Chinese, McConnel’s Chinese wife would make him do the right thing and vote for confirmation, but alas, he’s not a Chinese immigrant.
“Ask what this country can do for you—not what you can do for this country.”
I’m looking forward to shrill hysteria from the MSM.
I’m anticipating the shrill hysteric posts in the physician facebook group I belong to: “An anti-vaxxer is now the Secretary of HHS!”
It didn’t take long; Chuck-U-Schumer just appeared before the cameras to denounce RFK Jr as the worst nominee of Trump’s cabinet.
Keep it up, Chuck. You keep talking like that and dissing RFK, and you can start crying about how many Democrat senators will get primaried in 2026.
He has that seat as long as he wants it.
I am not talking about his; on the record, Nicole Shanahan is publically saying she is going after Democrat senators who vote No against Bobby, not limited to ] Warnock and Fetterman.

I’m OK with that as long as he does it from a jail cell. I believe 90% of the Senate is on the take and I don’t think he is part of the 10%.
As long as the nominations get in
What can be done regarding Mitch McConnell? He is wasting a valuable Senate seat.

He has a democrat governor
His seat would be replaced by a democrat
We will get 30% republican support from him, 0 from a democrat
Kentucky has a law that requires the governor to nominate three people to fill the vacant seat with candidates of the same party occupied by the senator who resigned or died.
Whereas state law previously allowed the sitting governor to make his or her own appointment to fill a Senate vacancy without restrictions, Senate Bill 228, passed by the Kentucky legislature in the 2021 session, changed that.
Under the amended law, the governor may now choose only from three names recommended by the executive committee of the outgoing senator’s state party and must make that selection within 21 days of receiving the list from the party.

McConnell is past his sell-by date. Let’s at least give thanks that he relinquished his status as Republican senate leader.
Sell-by? You couldn’t him away!
Well done, Bobby! Now, go forth and do great things!
Dinosaurs. Definitely dinosaurs. I’d be angry too.
I must admit that the campaign to make Kennedy appear uh, odd, has had an effect on me, however he does know a lot and he is another disrupter.
I can’t what to see what we are going to find out under his watch. Additionally I believe there has been talk that he might end drug advertising on Tv… that would be excellent!
I never thought I would ever say this, but I agree with Schumer. They did a great job of “Sanity Washing” Kennedy, but several decades of words and actions show that he is at heart an erratic flake. I firmly believe that we need a clear, objective review of our nation’s food and medical establishments. He is not the person to do this, and is frankly a ticking timebomb.
Except there is no one else that could do this because MAHA would not have happened but for him. Ticking timebomb? To do what?
We’re looking at this the wrong way. Trump finally got McConnell to vote against confirming Democrats.
OH, SNAP!
McConnell may be having trouble figuring which voting button is which. Or maybe he’s having an aide do it for him.
I’ll be anxious to see if RFK can find and terminate the source of the incentivization for hospitals to claim as many patients with Covid as possible. They’re STILL doing that! Just went through that a few months ago at a hospital emergency room, where both doctor and nurse tried to convince me I had Covid when it was obvious my problem was bacterial, not viral (tests proved I was correct). They both openly lied in order to coerce me into submitting to the nasal probe, which I refused.
The medical field is being overtaken by very dangerous people.
No surprise that the Turtle is in the pocket of big everything.
Cassidy voted for RFK, got in line in the vain attempts to save his seat.
Too little, too late. He was one of the seven asshats to vote to impeach trump, and Louisianians have long memories. Not to mention him voting freely and frivolously with the Biden administration.
Can’t wait for him to be primaried.
Get Patel in there!
“If McConnell voted no out of principal it would not make me mad.”
I, personally, would much rather politicians vote out of principle rather than principal.
