Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) intends to support Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation as head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the senator announced Wednesday.

“I intend to support Robert Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation as Secretary of Health and Human Services. While there is no dispute that the U.S. spends more per capita on healthcare than any other country, our health outcomes do not reflect this investment,” she wrote in a lengthy statement on X.

From Sundance

Controlling and auditing the USAID books, and knowing how U.S. politicians and their families have benefited therein, has given President Trump a unique position of leverage over the United States Senate.

Since the USAID revelations began surfacing, opposition to Trump in the senate is significantly diminished. This does not seem to be coincidental.

when’s the vote? time?”

A chyron on one of the news stations says it’s at 7 pm today, but if the RATs use their full 30 hours of yammering, it’ll be tomorrow sometime. At least, that’s how I understand it.
