RFK Jr. has proven to be one of Donald Trump's worst appointments, a remarkable distinction given how deeply incompetent this entire administration is. Kennedy is an anti-vaxxer and believes in the most deranged strains of conspiracy theories. Earlier this week, he made the jaw-dropping claim that he has the power to identify children with "mitochondrial challenges" just by glancing at them as they walk by in an airport. This man is not only unfit for office, he represents a profound danger to the American people.

During three hours of testimony, Democrats accused the US health secretary of lying and restricting Americans' access to vaccines. Several Republican senators also raised concerns.
Since taking the helm at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in February, some of Kennedy's decisions have alarmed health experts.
Democrats were quick to try to pin the secretary down on the turmoil at the CDC, and on his previous assurances of backing vaccine access.
Enough Republican senators have echoed such criticism to make this a rare showdown that did not immediately devolve into partisan to and fro.
