Warren was ridiculous. She came to Washington to fight against predatory finance and ends up shrieking in defence of predatory medicine.

Yes! They are all HYPOCRITES!

I just sent this message to Senator Wyden - D-Oregon.

"I am writing to say that I support RFK Jr's appointment to HHS and I am embarrassed by your harassment of him in the senate hearing happening right now. Caroline Kennedy is a known shareholder in many big pharma companies so she is speaking through her own special interests against him. You do not represent me at all as an Oregonian. The fact that you have behaved in this apprehensible manner is absolutely unacceptable. RFK Jr. has taken big pharma to task when they have harmed people. You should support anybody causing harm through their products to be held accountable and support the attorneys willing to stand up to corporate power on behalf of the people. What has happened to decency in America? It's all special interest now, apparently. You need to apologize publicly to RFK Jr. and to the American people for your shameful behavior and for not sticking up for the people by supporting new leadership that cares about the health of the American people. Why do you roadblock healthy change? Time for you to step down."

We in Oregon need to replace Senator Wyden. His behavior reveals who actually calls his shots. Since his term doesn't end until 2029!, he probably feels safe that retirement will be his exit. Since members of Congress cannot be recalled, expulsion is the other option. It's rare but has been done before. Not easy as it requires 2/3rds of the body (senators) which means in this term about 15 Democrats and all Republicans. Bob Packwood, the senator that Wyden replaced faced expulsion (for sexual misconduct) and retired ahead of the pending senate vote. An unofficial way to get Wyden out of office is to gather signatures for his resignation. Even if you get a million to sign, Wyden can still play the arrogant politician and ignore it, but he'll see the writing on the wall.

That is wonderful. Tomorrow I'm picking up the phone and making calls; they hate to hear your voice.

Thank you Celia. I had thought the hearings for RFK Jr were Thursday. He must be confirmed. But I do not look forward to the smears that will be directed his way, and my Senator, Durbin, is one of the worst. He is deep state times ten.

Senator Dick, say no more, say no more.

Too painful to watch. I queried whether he'd be better served at an opportune moment citing a few names of senators who have benefitted from pharma largess. I'm not a statesman so were it me I would seize the moment, capitalizing on this event to tell the world that at least 2/3 of them is on the drug pushers payroll.

Yes call out the hacks for what they are making off farma. Wish rfk jr would talk about the damaged and dead from shots.

This has the lists of committee members.

Well, as I just tuned in, less than 5 minutes in Kennedy is being beaten up by some woman senator, couldn't see her name, sitting next to senator Pokahantas. You can tell they are locked and loaded with accusations not questions; won't even let him get a complete sentence out. I am praying for Kennedy, but can not stomach what I have already seen/heard. I'll clean my bathroom instead.

People on social media are making fun of his 'speech impediment'; the collective 'Inclusive, Tolerant, Diverse, Equitable' party and their constituents are pure hypocrisy. They attack him in the most repugnant way; have you seen 'frog face Wasserman'! (my apologies to frogs, but I just can't stand her face; it's always distorted with hate)

Hearing Bernie Sanders ask about those onesies...and I just can't stop laughing.

'DO YOU CONDEMN THE ONESIES? DO YOU?' lol

This has to go straight into a SNL episode with maybe every senator in the hearing wearing a onesie with their top issue printed on it. What a vision!

Although I will say that I personally would not want a baby of mine to become a billboard for any cause. Geez.

Considering the way the deep state military/industrial/pharma thugs are dead set on keeping Bobby out, there are two things we can do: 1) contact your senators especially the ones on the committees engaged in the hearings; and 2) pray for sanity and compassion to prevail over greed, apathy and arrogance.

Thank you Celia for putting this notice up.

It’s not just Caroline Kennedy’s $7 million in Bigly Pharma stocks that wants to Make America Sick Again, MASA. the MASA being Big Pharma, slaves are the sick and addicted.

Nope. Also at stake is Tax Payers footing the bill for biosynthetic Gila Monster Venom weight loss at $1,500/month for Medicare/Medicaid. ChaChing $$$ for Insider traitors in Congress and the Pharma paid lobbyists MASAs like Mike Pence.

How much wood could a wood Snake like Pence wood, could a wood snake in the woulds of Congress during the year of the Would Snakes? If Congress stoped using tax dollars to pay for Bernie Sander’s Viagra?

I tuned in during Wyden's harangue, now listening to Bennet. I have never watched one of these US confirmation hearings before - are they always this ridiculous and brutal?

Pretty much especially when the program is against the nominee. Good Lord, even his famous cousin Caroline Kennedy calls him a predator of all things.

Ouch. RFK Jr. was not able to answer when asked to describe what was covered by Medicare Parts A, B, and C. That's a problem. I don't want to make excuses for him. All I will say is that I don't know how anybody can remember anything when being questioned publicly in such an attacking manner by the whole senate. Many people would disassociate in such an arena and not be able to access their own knowledge. Many senators speaking in the hearing today are actually acting more evenly than those who spoke yesterday so appreciating those who are behaving in a more humane way.

Great comment during the hearing at 1:02:00 by senator Mullin R-Oklahoma. Finally a senator who demands that the senate start considering that "questioning science" is actually exactly what is needed, and is in fact, an imperative in a healthy scientific system. Senator Mullin is (according to Wikipedia) said to be the first Native American senator since 2005. God bless him and his voice of reason and brilliance to correct the direction of this senate hearing in regards to calling out the trend in this hearing to giving blind allegiance to trusting the science!

Heartbreak just now as Senator Cassidy R-Louisiana pushes Bobby to commit to not changing vaccine standards from the historical standards. Unfortunately Bobby agreed to this. IMHO this was a grave error and will come back to haunt the American people. We should have the right to review standards and correct. For instance, the vaccine standards were negatively changed during covid era to allow gene-altering injections (mRNA) to qualify as vaccines. That definition should be revised back to previous standards. The term historical could possibly be the loophole that could allow that but Bobby seems to be being pushed to give yes answers to things that should not be agreed to, most likely just to be able to win enough votes to be confirmed. Stopped watching the hearing for a bit as it was too painful for my soul. This process needs to be revamped as it is a degrading and destructive culture of bullying.

What absolute horrid behavior from our Legislators! They have proven, to me at least, that they deserve to be fired from their jobs immediately. They showed over and over again that they have ZERO idea that vaccines are a toxic slurry of poison! They must want their paychecks from big pharma to continue. They showed also their ignorance (or approval) that late stage abortion is actually an act that takes a child who's heart is still beating and remove organs to sell on the black market! The audacity of the Legislator to give a tear-jerking story example of the "poor couple who had to have a late-stage abortion," that should be called an emergency C-section was over the top. RFKjr. has stirred up the hornets nest and they are stinging him like crazy - proving themselves to the voters that they don't want represent us at all.
