The party line vote w/Monarez will be interesting background given claims that GOPers plan to exercise SOME oversight over public health monster RFK Jr next week. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

I hope every fucking Democrat stops him every time he answers a question after three words and they say "What? We can't understand you. Would you drink some water please, you frog-throated skin suit?"

He needs to be removed from office. He’s a profound risk to public health.

Boot him out. But senators have done nothing to educate RFK Jr so far. I doubt it will amount to much.

I can't believe they haven't resorted to "he's a Democrat and needs to go!" yet.

@murray.senate.gov called for his firing/resignation... I c.c.'d @jayapal.house.gov (my House Rep) to consider a move to impeach and get a discussion in the House Dems going about Health accountability, and if they can't get Repub. assist, consider making it a move when Dems win Midterms.

One of the interesting moments in her confirmation hearing was when she was asked what she would do if the President asked her to violate the law and she said the President would never do that. Seems like she found out otherwise. Will reserve judgement until the full story comes out.

Interesting but Democrats voted no, irrc, because: 1) she isn’t a medical doctor 2) they had been harassed for months for voting yes on any of his picks.

Schumer might get a little credit if he shared more than bland platitudes. He’s been such a non-entity opposing Trump, I don’t pay much attention to him unless I stumble on something inadvertently.

Sorry for expecting the Senate Democratic Leader to communicate with voters, and to be a strong voice opposing Trump.

One of the principal reasons Democrats are bleeding voters. There is no Democratic leadership in the House or the Senate!

I'll believe it when I see it. GOP Senators will make some noise about being "concerned" but won't actually do anything.

Will they be tying him down & using medieval instruments to get the truth? Otherwise, it’s a waste of time to listen to the drivel he’s bound to produce.
