Shanahan:“To senators Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Bill Cassidy, Thom Tillis, James Lankford, Cory Booker, John Fetterman, Bernie Sanders, and Catherine Cortez Masto…”
“This is a bipartisan message and it comes directly from me. While Bobby may be willing to play nice, I won’t if you if you vote against him.”

While I may disagree with Shanahan in other areas, I agree with Shanahan on this. We have people throwing up chaff with Kennedy's stances in other areas. But those areas are not in the scope of the role for which he is being nominated.

I hope she funds their opponents regardless. They’re all long past their best by date. Some by 30 years.

Having spent over $50 million on RFKJ so far and publicly voting for Trump, they know she is dead serious. And well-connected.

People want MAHA and they want RFKJ.

My favorite target is LANKFORD! Go get him. The guy is a first class putz and the poster child for Dunning-Krueger and a camera whore to boot. He seems to be the lamestream medias favorite RHINO because they put him on all the time.

These kind of public threats are almost certainly going to backfire on those Senators who will be running for re-election at some point. Some of those she is supposedly targeting clearly won’t be running for reelection so it will have no effect on them.

not a good idea to get cross ways with a female billionaire.

“The global pharmaceutical industry is a massive and rapidly growing sector. In 2023, the industry’s revenue reached approximately 1.6 trillion U.S. dollars.”

Copilot: pharmaceutical billions

The average wealth of a senator that is invested in pharmaceutical stocks probably averages around 7%.

The senators’ stocks are in blind trusts.

They could be shooting themselves in the foot if they vote for RFK Jr.

I would normally be VERY concerned about RFK Jr. being very pro-abort, as that IS in the realm of HHS.

I am willing to suspend that doubt due to President Trump's track record on the matter, and RFK having his hands full with Big Pharma.

The food industry has shelves full of reasons why it doesn’t want to see RFK Jr. confirmed.

I’d much rather see RFK Jr. heading FDA only.

**Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Bill Cassidy, Thom Tillis, James Lankford, Cory Booker, John Fetterman, Bernie Sanders, and Catherine Cortez Masto…**

Let’s see. Lankford/Cassidy are up and need challengers-won’t happen
Linda won’t happen either so we’ll live with him.
Mitch is gone. Collins we need to support.

That’s it. Could we use that help against Booker? Only if a million NJ republicans ‘switch’ parties for the primary. Make him use up more resources to help others. We’re not that smart.

Isn’t it just like Bernie Sanders to line up with big Pharma?

The guy is the biggest hypocrite in DC - and 83 year old, standard Brooklyn socialist, selling a failed 175 year-old ideology, while pulling in millions, owning multiple homes, and promoting himself as “the new thing” for young libtards.

You don't do this when you know you have the votes. RFK doesn't. Neither does Gabbard.

I just hope Trump unleashes hell behind the scenes to make sure Kash gets through. He is the only one left who matters,.

The wealthy should be prohibited from government and politics. They are too disconnected from the common man to be involved in their governance.

Lankford’s from my State; he’s a rino who pretends to be a conservative around election time. He wins on name recognition and lies.
