GOP Senators Signal to Trump that Kennedy Is on Thin Ice
Senate hearing highlighted bipartisan concern over Kennedy's vaccine policy changes, with 74% of Americans expressing distrust in his medical advice, raising alarms about public health impacts.
- On Thursday, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testified before the Senate Finance Committee and faced forceful questioning from both Republican and Democratic senators amid CDC upheaval after firing Susan Monarez, former CDC Director.

- More than 1,000 current and former HHS workers wrote to Congress demanding Kennedy's resignation, and three senior CDC officials resigned in protest last week.
- Health officials warn that Kennedy's moves risk public-health harm, with nine former CDC directors saying he is `endangering the health of every American`, while Republican senators urge President Donald Trump to fix policy disruptions, citing Senator Bill Cassidy's concerns over broken vaccine access promises.
