tell Senate to reject RFK Jr. as head of HHS

Another day, another outlandish and potentially catastrophic pick for a critical role in Donald Trump's administration.

Wednesday it was Matt Gaetz for Attorney General (among others).

Yesterday it was Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

Aside from his ancestry, RFK Jr. is famous — or, more accurately, infamous — for being an anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist despite overwhelming scientific evidence that his "skepticism" is as wrong as it is dangerous.

Numerous members of his own renowned family have denounced his candidacy for president and his toxic, crackpot ideas.

But here we are.

The Senate will begin voting on whether or not to confirm RFK Jr. and Trump's other cabinet picks very soon after Trump is sworn in on January 20, 2025.

We have a real chance of blocking RFK Jr.'s appointment, but only if we start fighting it now and stay on top of it.

Tell the Senate:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a science-denying, morally-bankrupt conspiracy theorist who will endanger millions of lives if placed in a position of authority over public health. He shouldn't be allowed in the building, let alone be placed in charge of the Department of Health and Human Services. Donald Trump's bungling of health policy during the COVID pandemic cost hundreds of thousands of lives. By picking Kennedy to run HHS, Trump is risking another public health catastrophe. You must reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services.
