RFK Jr. Stuns Critics With Masterclass Senate Confirmation Performance

Elizabeth Warren tried to put RFK Jr. on the spot. What happened next was priceless.

🧵 THREAD

Robert Kennedy Jr. just endured 3.5 hours of relentless grilling by Senate Democrats—but to their dismay, he responded with poise, deep knowledge, and an undeniable passion for tackling America’s chronic disease crisis.

In his opening statement, he expertly broke down the nation’s health catastrophe, exposing the alarming trends plaguing millions of Americans.

“Today, Americans’ overall health is in grievous condition. Over 70% of adults and a third of children are overweight or obese.”

“Diabetes is 10 times more prevalent than it was during the 1960s. Cancer among young people is rising by 1 or 2% a year. Autoimmune diseases, neurodevelopmental disorders, Alzheimer’s, asthma, ADHD, depression, addiction, and a host of other physical and mental health conditions are all on the rise, some of them exponentially.”

“The United States has worse health than any other developed nation. Yet we spend more on health care—at least double, and in some cases triple, what other countries spend. Last year, we spent $4.8 trillion, not counting the indirect cost of missed work.”

“A healthy person has a thousand dreams. A sick person has only one. Today, over half of our countrymen and women are chronically ill.”

Things quickly escalated when Dem Senator Mark Warner tried to corner Kennedy into agreeing not to fire current federal health employees. But when Kennedy refused, Warner suffered a complete meltdown.

MARK WARNER: “Will you pledge that you will not fire federal employees who work on food safety, who work on trying to prevent things like Salmonella?”

KENNEDY: “Senator, there are 91,000 employees.”

WARNER: “Will you commit not to fire anyone in the health arena who currently works on protecting Americans from cyberattacks in their healthcare files?”

KENNEDY: “I will commit to not firing anybody who’s doing their job.”

WARNER: “Based on your opinion? Based upon your opinion or your political agenda, or Mr. Trump’s political agenda?”

KENNEDY: “Based upon MY opinion.”

WARNER: “I guess that means a lot of the folks who’ve had any type of views on vaccines will be out of work.”

Kennedy boldly stated during his testimony that Americans do not like the Affordable Care Act before directing a pointed question at the hecklers in the crowd.

“They would prefer to be on private insurance...I would ask any of the Democrats who were chuckling just now: Do you think all that money, that $900 billion that we're sending to Medicaid every year, has made Americans healthy? Do we think it's working for ANYBODY?!”

An incredible thing happened when Kennedy stunned Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) into complete silence by exposing the harsh reality of America’s dire health crisis.

If you watch one moment from the hearing, make it this one.

“President Trump has asked me to end the chronic disease epidemic and make America healthy again... and that is what I’m doing.

“And if we don’t solve that problem, Senator, all of the other disputes we have about who’s paying—whether it’s insurance companies, whether it’s providers, whether it’s HMOs, whether it’s patients or families—all of those are just moving deck chairs around on the Titanic.

“Our ship is sinking. Our 60% increase in Medicaid over the past four years is the biggest budget line now, and it’s growing faster than any other. No other nation in the world has what we have here.

“No other nation has a chronic disease burden like we do. We have the highest chronic disease burden of any country in the world. During COVID, we had 16% of the COVID deaths in a country where we only have 4.2% of the world’s population. We had a higher death count than any country in the world.

“And when the CDC was asked why, they said it’s because Americans are the sickest people on earth. The average American who died from COVID had 3.8 chronic diseases. This is an existential threat—economically, to our military, to our health, and to our sense of well-being.

“And it is a priority for President Trump. And that’s why he asked me to run the agency. And if I’m privileged to be confirmed, that’s exactly what I’ll do.”

Hilarity ensued when Elizabeth Warren inadvertently made Kennedy look GREAT with the perfect softball question.

WARREN: “You’re not going to take money from drug companies in any way, shape, or form?”

KENNEDY: “Who, me?”

WARREN: “Yes, you.”

KENNEDY: “Oh, yeah. I’m happy to commit to that.

“I don’t think any of them want to give me money, by the way.”

Warren desperately tried to paint Kennedy as someone who would use his position to enrich himself by suing pharmaceutical companies.

But she got a rude awakening when Sen. Mike Crapo pointed out that Kennedy’s potential conflicts of interest had ALREADY been thoroughly scrutinized before the hearing.

Sen. Bernie Sanders erupted and made it clear he wasn’t happy that Kennedy’s former nonprofit, Children’s Health Defense, was selling unvaxxed onesies for $26.

“ARE YOU SUPPORTIVE OF THESE ONESIES!?” Sanders shouted.

Of all things to get worked up about, this was a wild one.

One senator asked Kennedy if he was a “conspiracy theorist”—to which he replied with the perfect response, listing several “conspiracy theories” that turned out to be true.

Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) tried to corner Kennedy on Medicaid funding but ended up getting humiliated when Kennedy pointed out something wrong with his question.

LUJAN: “If President Trump asks you to cut Medicaid, will you do it?”

KENNEDY: “Oh, it’s not up to me to cut Medicaid. It would be up to Congress.”

LUJAN: (Laughs nervously) “Mr. Kennedy, you don’t want to answer? I’ll move on.”

As the hearing went on, Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kansas) couldn’t hide his admiration, telling Kennedy directly that God has a “divine purpose” for him.

“60% of Americans have a chronic disease. Mr. Kennedy, I believe for such a time as this that you’re not just one of 300 million people. I think that you are the person to lead HHS to make America healthy again. That God has a divine purpose for you. And I look forward to your confirmation in working with you to make America healthy again.”

Kennedy loosened up and started cracking jokes as Democrat Tina Smith (D-Minnesota) started stumbling over her own words. This exchange was hilarious.

TINA SMITH: “So do you believe, as you’ve said, that antidepressants cause school shootings?”

KENNEDY: “I don’t think anybody can answer that question… There’s no science on that.”

SMITH: “Well, there is, Senator. Excuse me, Mr. Kennedy.”

KENNEDY: “Thank you for the promotion.”

Who knew that Kennedy was this funny?

When day one of the hearing finally ended, the room erupted in thunderous applause. People shouted, “We love you, Bobby!”, making their support for his confirmation as HHS Secretary loud and clear.

Day two begins before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee on Thursday at 10:00 AM. It’s clear Americans want RFK Jr. in this role. Now it’s up to politicians to listen and Make America Healthy Again.

Now is the time to take action. Your senators work for YOU. Tell them to confirm RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary!

Go to senate.gov/senators/senat…, find your senator, and send your message today.

SIDE NOTE: The senators who were the most hostile towards RFK Jr. were—you guessed it—the ones receiving the most Pharma dollars.

A lot of hidden money went into a media campaign to stop RFK, and those senators were simply repeating its talking points.

Tucker Carlson Horrified as Dr. Mary Talley Bowden Drops Chilling COVID Statistic

The pain was written all over Carlson’s face.

🧵 THREAD

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden (@MdBreathe) left Tucker Carlson visibly shaken after dropping a chilling COVID vaccine statistic that’s impacting millions of children right now.

Before her appearance on Carlson’s show, Dr. Bowden, a Texas-based ENT specialist, rose to prominence in the medical freedom movement by speaking out against vaccine mandates and advocating for early treatment options like ivermectin.

She gained national attention after she was suspended by Houston Methodist Hospital for challenging the prevailing COVID narrative.

@MdBreathe Despite the backlash, Bowden has remained committed to the Hippocratic Oath, successfully treating an impressive total of over 6,000 COVID patients without a single death.

Calley Means GOES OFF on Politico and Anti-MAHA Lobbyists in Viral Smackdown

Calley Means just dropped a series of truth bombs at Politico’s Health Care Summit—and anti-MAHA lobbyists weren’t ready for it.

Lighting up the stage, Means ripped into the federal health agencies and the medical establishment, calling them out for being captured by industry lobbyists.

He said these agencies have “utterly failed” and blamed them for overseeing a decades-long decline in American health.

The election of President Trump, he argued, wasn’t just political—it was a clear message from voters demanding deep reform at every level of these broken institutions.

Keep reading as we break down the highlights from this event. 🧵

When it came to food policy, Means didn’t hold back in calling out how lobbyists have corrupted the system.

“One thing Bobby Kennedy is not going to do,” he told Politico’s Dasha Burns, “is entertain comments from food lobbyists using food prices as an excuse to continue poisoning children. That’s not going to work… We have 10,000 chemicals in our food that are not allowed in any other country.”

With respect to the media’s fear campaign about research funding cuts, he shut that narrative down, too.

“Research funding has not been cut,” Means said. Instead, the administration is targeting indirect funding—“that fundamentally means more money is going to researchers.”

He added that rank-and-file researchers are actually welcoming the changes.

The Shocking Truth About COVID Vaccine Shedding

The most puzzling part of the COVID injection is its ability to “shed” and harm people who never even got the shot.

@MidwesternDoc spent a year investigating over 1,500 of these reports.

What emerged is one of the most alarming patterns of the pandemic.

🧵 THREAD

Everyone’s talking about shedding, but almost no one knows what it really is.

Shortly after the COVID vaccine rollout, thousands of unvaccinated people started reporting strange symptoms—oftentimes right after being near someone recently vaccinated.

They hadn’t gotten the shot. Yet they were sick.

And the symptoms were eerily consistent.

Shedding isn’t just some blog theory. It’s backed by peer-reviewed research that was carefully examined by other scientists before being published.

Jenny McCarthy Shares Chilling Encounter After Speaking Out About Vaccines

A high-level insider confessed he was hired to smear her—and explained why he couldn’t go through with it.

🧵 THREAD

Jenny McCarthy is once again speaking out about the emotional and professional toll she endured after her son was diagnosed with autism—and why sharing her story, she says, came with serious consequences.

This time, she pulled back the curtain on a private conversation so disturbing, it changed the way she saw everything.

Appearing on Maria Menounos’s podcast, McCarthy revisited the painful journey that changed her life forever—a horrifying health crisis involving her 2½-year-old son.

Before Evan, her son, was diagnosed with autism, McCarthy said the signs started with something far more terrifying—seizures that came out of nowhere and escalated fast.

“He started having seizures,” she said, “and they were life-threatening seizures. Like cardiac arrest.” They weren’t the kind of thing you expect in a toddler, and the severity made it clear something was deeply wrong.

She recalled one of the worst days of her life, when Evan went into cardiac arrest and turned blue. “At one point, my heart sank into my toes,” she said, describing the panic as she waited for paramedics to arrive. “There’s nothing worse,” she added. “He’s two and a half years old, he’s turning blue.”

Calling 911, she screamed for help, but time felt like it stood still. She compared herself to a mother in Terms of Endearment, pleading and shouting with everything she had.

Evan was revived not once but twice—first in the house, then again in the ambulance. During that chaos, McCarthy said she was bargaining with God. “Bring back my boy first… or I’ll kill myself,” she admitted. “He had to survive.”

He did. But what followed shortly after, she said, was an autism diagnosis. The emotional toll was crushing. “I hit such a low,” she said, remembering how she broke down in the shower, crying uncontrollably and feeling completely helpless.

What shook her most was the suddenness of it all. Evan had been a typical child—smiling, talking, hitting all his milestones. “How did my son get diagnosed,” she asked, “when he was a normal, typical child?” Though he had a few minor signs like eczema, she believed the real change came after his MMR shot.

McCarthy is convinced the vaccine triggered encephalitis, a type of brain inflammation, which she notes has been “clinically in published science” linked to autism. “And my son was one of them,” she said. “Because it was after his MMR, when his encephalitis… leads to autism.”

She first shared her story publicly on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2007 during the release of her book, Louder Than Words: A Mother’s Journey in Healing Autism.

“That’s when I really outed myself,” she said. Oprah had long been pressed by parents to cover the link between vaccines and autism. “So, so many… were pounding Oprah to do a story on the association.”

Though the network initially resisted, Oprah eventually gave Jenny a live platform, insisting that recording it in advance would risk censorship. “She told me I had to go on live… so we had to go live.” Even then, Oprah had to read what Jenny called a “giant long page disclaimer.”

But despite the warning label, McCarthy said her message got through. “People heard me… parents heard me.”

In the beginning, Jenny McCarthy said she was flooded with appreciation. Parents from all over reached out, thanking her for speaking up and helping them feel less alone. “I had about six months of just enormous amounts of parents going, ‘Thank you. I’m looked at as not crazy now.’”

But that support didn’t last.

Public praise quickly turned into public backlash. Rumors swirled, critics piled on, and soon, people began calling her crazy. Then something even more sinister happened: Someone showed up at her organization, Generation Rescue, with a private warning that stopped her in her tracks.

“I had someone come to my organization… and say to me, ‘Listen, I was approached by, let’s just say a government agency to be hired.’”

The man said his job was to craft PR campaigns designed to discredit voices like hers. “What I do is I set up PR campaigns to go against the narrative. And I’m telling you privately because I turned them down, but I wanted to give you forewarning that it’s happening because they’re going to hire someone else.”

He told her the only reason he said no was because his own child had experienced the same thing—and he couldn’t be part of silencing someone who was just trying to tell the truth.

McCarthy was floored. “Hold on, hold on, hold on. I have chills all over my body. I need you to tell me that whole thing all over again,” she said. “Because the shock almost didn’t let everything sink in.”

The man confirmed it once more. “I basically am a PR agency, a very high echelon one, and I was approached by a government agency to create a narrative against you, and it’s going to be called you’re anti-vaccine.”

McCarthy remembered asking how they could go after her when she’d made her position clear in every interview. But the man said, “doesn’t matter… they’re going to come after you with everything they’ve got. And they’ve got the media on their side.”

The attacks eventually hit her where it hurt—her ability to make a living. “It didn’t really hurt me until it started taking jobs away from me,” she said. “I was a single mother still trying to heal my son.”

Companies pulled McCarthy from campaigns. Opportunities vanished. And this backlash came before the term “cancel culture” even existed. “I was the beginning of that cancel culture,” McCarthy said. “Cancel culture wasn’t even a phrase yet.”

Despite everything, she didn’t back down. “I just heavily relied on still writing my books and not giving up,” she said. “You can try to cancel me, but I’m still going to be here.”

“And now looking back,” McCarthy said, “my son is 22 years old and I’m still here.”

Elon Musk Reveals Shocking Surge in Social Security Numbers for Non-Citizens

“This is a mind-blowing chart,” Musk said. And once you see the numbers, it’s hard to look away.

🧵 THREAD

Elon Musk lit up the stage in Green Bay on March 30, 2025, as he hosted a packed town hall in support of conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel.

The event opened with a nod to local culture. Musk walked out wearing a cheesehead, signed it, and launched it into the cheering crowd.

But the mood quickly shifted. A heckler tried to derail the event, and Musk shot back.

“It was inevitable that at least a few Soros operatives would be in the audience. Give my regards to George! Say hi to George for me!” he jabbed.

10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried This Week

#10 - Joe Rogan guest completely shatters the polio narrative.

Dr. Suzanne Humphries challenged one of the most sacred beliefs in medicine: that vaccines eradicated polio.

The truth is – polio wasn’t eradicated. Polio is actually “still alive and well,” Dr. Humphries declared. It’s just that a few sleights of hand made the world believe otherwise.

What largely brought polio cases down, according to Humphries, wasn’t the vaccine’s impact—it was a change in the way polio was defined.

“Polio is called different things today,” Humphries explained. “Whereas back in the 1940s, 1950s, the criteria for diagnosing polio were completely different to the year that the vaccine was introduced. The playing field, the goalposts—everything was changed… they were able to show a complete cascading drop of paralytic polio simply because of the way they changed the definitions of what polio is and what could cause it.”

After the vaccine rollout, cases that would’ve been diagnosed as polio were now labeled as Guillain-Barré syndrome, coxsackievirus, echovirus, or chalked up to lead or mercury poisoning.

She also pointed to another key factor: environmental toxins. The rise in polio diagnoses, she said, mirrored the use of toxic chemicals like DDT.

As use of neurotoxic pesticides like DDT, arsenic, and lead declined, so did toxic exposures that mimicked polio symptoms. Fewer kids were bathing in poisons that caused spinal nerve damage, so naturally, paralysis decreased.

“The tonnage of production of DDT absolutely mirrored the diagnosis for polio,” Dr. Humphries explained. Even today, she added, “The countries that still make DDT… are where we’re still seeing this paralytic polio situation happen.”

And when it comes to the poliovirus itself? It’s not quite as harmful as people think. Humphries explained that polio is actually a “commensal”—a virus that lives in most people without causing harm.

“95 to 99% of all polio is asymptomatic.” Dr. Humphries described a study of the Javante Indians, where “98 to 99% of every person they tested… had evidence of immunity to all three strains of polio,” yet none of the children were crippled. “They were like, ‘We don’t have any of that problem,’” she recalled.

Dr. Humphries also cited a chilling story in history. In 1916, a Rockefeller lab in Manhattan set out with “the specific stated goal… to try to create the most pathological, neuropathological strain of polio possible.” Researchers injected monkey brains and human spinal fluid into monkeys.

And that experimentation came with devastating consequences. “There was a big problem with that, which was [polio] released into the public by accident,” Dr. Humphries explained. “And the world experienced the worst polio epidemic on record. 25% mortality.”

In short, Humphries argued that polio didn’t vanish because of vaccines. It disappeared under a mountain of redefinitions, environmental triggers, manmade disasters, and a lot of propaganda.

#9 - Greg Abbott delivers the PERFECT response after Rep. Jasmine Crockett mocked his disability and called him “Governor Hot Wheels.”

“It’s another day and another disaster by the Democrats. The reality is they have no vision, no policy. They have nothing to sell but hate. And Americans are not buying it. It’s one reason why Texas is going to remain red and why Republicans are going to continue to win elections across the country.”

“The bottom line is that Republican states like Texas are leading the way. And with comments like this by Democrats, we will just leave them in the dust in future elections.”

#8 - Bill Maher Demands Gavin Newsom Explain the Government Hoops Blocking His Roof Repair

Bill Maher has been trying to make changes to his roof for years, but California’s endless red tape keeps getting in the way. Frustrated by the needless bureaucratic hurdles, Maher finally had the chance to confront Governor Gavin Newsom face-to-face and ask why even basic repairs feel impossible in the state.

This isn’t Maher’s first run-in with California’s regulatory nightmare. Back in 2018, when he tried installing solar panels, he faced over three years of delays due to permits and red tape.

Now, following a new roof debacle after the wildfires, Maher is fed up.

“Let’s talk about what’s important: my roof,” Maher said firmly to Newsom.

“Your roof?” Newsom asked—surprised.

“My roof,” Maher reiterated.

Maher explained that after a wildfire damaged his roof, he chose to repair it exactly as officials recommended. But instead of being able to move forward quickly, he encountered more unnecessary bureaucratic obstacles.

“Two inspections I needed to have—why?” Maher asked. “It’s my roof. If it falls on my head, that’s my problem.”

“That’s it? That’s just a statement,” Newsom replied.

“No, that’s my question,” Maher shot back. “Why do I need two inspections, which I have to pay for? Yeah, you were here last time we talked about regulations. You said, ‘Oh, it’s a completely new day.’ That’s a quote from you. ‘Completely new day.’”

Newsom then referenced Ezra Klein’s book, Abundance, suggesting that liberal governance often becomes too focused on process instead of outcomes—essentially admitting that Maher’s roof situation was a perfect example. He vaguely promised to remove some of the hurdles.

Maher—seeing through Newsom’s political speak—wasn’t satisfied. “How’s that going, though?” he asked.
