Speaking on the senate floor Cassidy announces he has a deal with Trump and RFK Jr to be able to directly supervise Kennedy on a weekly basis and is Kennedy is not allowed to post anti-vaxx stuff on the HHS website. 🙄

The chief responsibility of head of the HHS is to supervise the HHS. But now, the nominee to head the HHS needs to be supervised himself - which kind of defeats the primary purpose of position. It is neither logical or efficient & shows how disqualifying RFK Jr's candidacy should be.
