More than 1,000 current and former employees across the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) signed a letter on Wednesday morning calling for Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s resignation.
Addressed to Kennedy and members of Congress, the signatories accused the secretary of endangering the health of Americans. Save HHS, the group behind the letter, told ABC News it's been sent to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions; Senate Committee on Finance and the House Committee on Energy and Commerce as well as Majority and Minority leadership.
"We swore an oath to support and defend the United States Constitution and to serve the American people. Our oath requires us to speak out when the Constitution is violated and the American people are put at risk," the letter reads, in part.

what greater recommendation could there be that he is doing a great job!
the swamp is screaming
Friday RIF at HHS.

FORMER HHS employees, LOL, LOL, LOL!!!!
A few more firings seem to be in order. 🙄
There were 93,000 HHS employees, being reduced to 68,000, so my guess is those people represent less then 2% of the staff, and some of those may not work there any more. Plus, given what were learning, they weren’t doing us any favors during COVID. So, I really don’t care what they think.
Great! That’s a list to be investigated for takin bribes.
yep, fire the ones who are not “former” ...
These people are not going to go down easy.

Any current employee on that list should be fired.
