I just voted NO on RFK Jr. to lead HHS. None of his empty promises could undo the harm his past statements have already had on people’s health. He’s a flip-flopper, a conspiracy peddler, and a danger to our country. He’s driven by self-interest, not by protecting Americans.

@wyden.senate.gov: Making Robert Kennedy Secretary of Health and Human Services would be a grave threat to the health of the American people. I urge my colleagues to vote no.

@wyden.senate.gov: Mr. Kennedy has given us no reason to believe he'll be anything other than a rubber stamp for plans to gut Medicaid and rip health care away from the American people, and a yes-man if ordered by Trump or Musk to take an illegal action.

@wyden.senate.gov: On abortion, Mr. Kennedy’s answers once again only raise more questions. He refused to tell us whether he would blindly follow a directive from Donald Trump to break the law and end access to mifepristone.

@wyden.senate.gov: Last week, Mr. Kennedy was given ample opportunity on a bipartisan basis to recant his decades-long career peddling anti-vaccine conspiracies. He gave no indication that that he would stand by the long-settled science surrounding routine vaccinations.

@wyden.senate.gov: A recent analysis showed that Mr. Kennedy has made 114 separate appearances in the last four years where he espoused anti-vaccine views or spread misinformation about vaccines. In 36 of those instances, Mr. Kennedy directly linked vaccines to autism.

@wyden.senate.gov: Now more than ever, the American people need leaders that will stand up to Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

@wyden.senate.gov: The last several days we’ve witnessed an authoritarian takeover of our federal government by Donald Trump and Elon Musk. They’ve set their sights on a full purge of anyone in government that doesn’t bend the knee and follow their orders.

WATCH LIVE: The Committee is voting shortly on RFK Jr.’s nomination to serve as HHS Secretary. Livestream here:

NEW via @nbcnews.com: RFK Jr. is refusing to divest his family's interest in an anti-vaccine lawsuit. Ranking Member Wyden is calling on RFK Jr. to recuse himself from vaccine lawsuits as long as those conflicts remain www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

NEWS: Wyden Demands Answers Following Report of Musk Personnel Seeking Access to Highly Sensitive U.S. Treasury Payments System

Wyden: Trump Tariffs Will Make Everything More Expensive, Solve Zero Problems and Harm American Farmers and Small Businesses

Senator Tommy Tuberville: We have an attention deficit problem in this country. Attention deficit — when you or I were growing up — our parents didn’t use a drug they used a belt.

Medicare and Medicaid aren’t the same thing - I’d think someone who wants to run our country’s health system should know that.

Mifepristone HAS been studied over and over again and deemed safe and effective — that’s why it’s been approved for over two decades!

WARREN: Will you commit that you won't take any compensation from any lawsuits against drug companies? RFK Jr: I'll certainly commit to that while I'm secretary, but ...

CORTEZ MASTRO: A pregnant woman with a life-threatening bleed goes to the ER and her doctor determines she needs an emergency abortion. She's in a state where abortion is banned. You would agree that federal law protects her right to that emergency care, correct RFK Jr: Uh, I don't know

Hassan: "You have clearly stated in the past that bodily autonomy is one of your core values ... when was it that you decided to sell out the values you've had your whole life in order to be given power by President Trump?"

WARNER: In a fundraising email, your presidential campaign celebrated the funding freeze. Did you put that out? RFK Jr: I don't think my campaign exists anymore WARNER: Listen, I gotta tell you this -- somebody is out there soliciting money for it

BENNET: Did you say Lyme disease is a highly likely militarily engineered bioweapon? RFK Jr: I probably did say that BENNET: Did you say that exposure to pesticides causes children to become transgender RFK Jr: No BENNET: I have the record

Bennet: "What's disturbing to me is that out of 330m Americans, we're being asked to put somebody in this job who has spent 50 years of his life peddling in half-truths, peddling in false statements, peddling in theories that create doubt about whether or not things we know are safe are unsafe."

I am going to put together a thread covering RFK Jr's confirmation hearing for the HHS secretary job. Follow along for clips and commentary.

WATCH: @bennet.senate.gov presses RFK Jr. on where he stands on abortion. The guy Trump nominated to serve as HHS Secretary can't give a straight answer.

WATCH: Republican Senator Bill Cassidy says the quiet part out loud: Republicans are gearing up to rip health care away from millions of Americans to pay for Trump's tax handout to Elon Musk.

@wyden.senate.gov: After a careful review of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s statements, actions, associations and views, I have reached the conclusion that he should not be entrusted with the health and well-being of the American people.

@wyden.senate.gov: Women deserve to know if Mr. Kennedy will abuse his power as our country’s chief health officer to essentially implement a national abortion ban by restricting access to this safe and legal medication.

@wyden.senate.gov: Mr. Kennedy has indicated he’s open to restricting access to the abortion medication, Mifepristone, which remains a primary target of Republicans’ crusade against reproductive freedom.

@wyden.senate.gov: From abortion to universal health care, Mr. Kennedy has changed his views so often, it’s nearly impossible to know where he stands on the basic issues that will impact Americans’ daily lives.

@wyden.senate.gov: This is the profile of somebody who chases money and influence wherever they lead, even if it means the tragic deaths of children and other vulnerable people.

@wyden.senate.gov: Mr. Kennedy has embraced conspiracy theories, quacks and charlatans, especially when it comes to the safety and efficacy of vaccines. He's made it his life's work to sow doubt and discourage parents from getting their kids life-saving vaccines. It’s been lucrative for him.
