A couple thoughts as a reporter who's been covering RFK Jr and watched today's hearing with fired CDC director Susan Monarez 1) the biggest things I heard today were about the CDC's childhood vaccine schedule. Monarez testified that RFK Jr told her he talks to Trump "every day" about changing it.

The head of an independent United Nations commission that concludes Israel has committed genocide in Gaza argues that countries supplying weapons to Israel, like the United States, are also complicit.
