Ofc this assumes such behavior from Mullin would be disqualifying but mayhap it would not.

I think Senate Democrats should A Few Good Men Markwayne Mullin at his confirmation hearing.

Senator: DID YOU ORDER THE CODE RED? DID YOU LIE ABOUT A NONEXISTENT RECORDING AT A CONGRESSIONAL HEARING?

Mullin: Jumps over table, punches Senator in the face.

😂 nevernudes unite!

I have definitely had this experience in my professional life. Alarm bells everywhere.

✅ Thanks, you’re absolutely correct. I’m afraid I skipped right ahead under the assumption that he will be confirmed by Senate Republicans.

Mom: Okay so I’ve heard there are programs for people with low income to attend college, can you help me with that?

RFK Jr: What? No. Are you kidding? We cancelled all that woke shit.

RFK Jr: Oh come on! How much can an application fee be? A thousand or two?

Mom: But I need to keep the power on in order to…

RFK Jr: [SIGH] Do I need to repeat myself? If you’d just go to Harvard and get a real job you could afford electricity!

Same 38% that will never budge from MAGA.

Mom: Okay okay but didn’t you say physical activity is critical? My kids have sports and I need to drive them.

RFK Jr: I mean, hire a nanny or a driver dummy.

Mom: I can’t aff…

RFK Jr. Again, lazy daisy, apply to Harvard and get a degree so you can afford nice things. This isn’t on me.

Stark Divide: Americans More Confident in Career Scientists at U.S. Health Agencies Than Leaders | The Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania When it comes to reliable health information, Americans are more confident in federal health agencies' career scientists than their leaders.

As many of you know, the @ameracadpeds.bsky.social has stuck with science-based vaccine recommendations, while RFK Jr. has personally hijacked the CDC’s recommendations.

Chart that shows trust levels in government institutions. There is not enough space to use alt text here, please follow the link in the next post to read the poll results.

RFK Jr. and his henchmen claim they are “restoring trust in public health”.

The truth is that trust in any agency RFK Jr. touches is nosediving; in fact, only 38% of Americans polled trust RFK Jr. himself (still too high).

4x more people trust the AAP over the CDC for vaccine recommendations.

If you want to see what an absolute penis Mullin is:

Markwayne Mullin, the new DHS Secretary, friends.

If he’ll blatantly lie and verbally abuse a government scientist **at a televised Congressional hearing**, just imagine what he’ll do behind closed doors.

I’ll never forget it.

RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine policies are "unreviewable," DOJ lawyer tells judge The startling claim came amid a lawsuit from the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Great article on the DOJ arguing last week that RFK Jr. should have total power over public health recommendations, even if he decides to recommend intentional exposure to deadly infectious diseases.

He’s not been far off from this already, by repeatedly claiming that vaccines are harmful.

A fair point

He is clearly used to people doing what he orders them to do and cannot abide when they don’t.

I perceive him to be a very dangerous man, and I dread what is coming.

Everybody’s got their reasons for despising Markwayne Mullin and mine is him screaming at the dignified and brilliant former CDC Director Susan Monarez at a hearing.

He lied about a nonexistent recording and tried to bully her into submission.

She was a locus of zen. He lost his damned mind.

Yep yep.

Tucson Council approves measure to bar ICE from using city property The Tucson City Council unanimously passed an ordinance on Tuesday barring U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement from staging or carrying out civil immigration enforcement on city-owned property.

Sometimes I really appreciate the Old Pueblo.

Tucson City Council voted 6-0 that ICE can’t use city property for their kidnappings or staging in preparation for kidnappings.
