Democrats Impeach Health Secretary for Firing His Own Advisory Panels, Because Why Not
KEY POINTS
- •Rep. Haley Stevens filed articles of impeachment Wednesday accusing HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of abuse of authority.
- •Kennedy is charged with cutting vaccine research, linking Tylenol use to autism, and firing all members of advisory panels.
- •The effort coincides with Michigan Democrats Thanedar and Stevens competing in Senate primaries while trying to show toughness on Trump.
In a baffling remix of political theater and medical mismanagement, Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) filed 13 pages of impeachment against Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The charges cover everything from halting vaccine research – because who needs cures anyway? – to Kennedy daring to link Tylenol with autism, really setting the pharmaceutical world on edge. Adding punch to the chaos, Kennedy fired entire HHS advisory panels, effectively ghosting some of the smartest medical minds like a haunted Tinder date. Meanwhile, Rep. Shri Thanedar (also D-Mich.) threw his own impeachment party targeting Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, possibly to trump a left-wing primary. Stevens, known as Michigan’s most moderate Senate hopeful in this circus, called Kennedy a science deserter who spreads conspiracies, drives up costs, and risks lives. The GOP-controlled Congress chances this drama to stay purely theater, while HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon bragged Kennedy's impeachment was just a bad Senate campaign stunt. Politics has never been this messily entertaining.
