Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan said he had a “very productive meeting” with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday.
“We spoke at length about tackling the roots of our country’s chronic disease epidemic and about Alaska’s unique health care challenges. I was particularly impressed with his knowledge of Alaska, the Indian Health Service, and the issues surrounding rural healthcare. I look forward to working with Bobby in his new role as Secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services. MAHA!!” wrote Sullivan on X/Twitter.
Kennedy, formerly a Democrat, filed for president as an independent last year. After disappointing results trying to get ballot access in enough states, he stopped his campaign, met with Donald Trump, and agreed to work with Trump on his campaign and to advance better health in America.
After being elected on Nov. 5, Trump immediately named Kennedy as the nominee flor secretary of the department that is in charge of health programs in America.
Kennedy is a health advocate who practices what he preaches. He has been an environmental lawyer who was embraced by the Left, until he joined the Trump team.
Kennedy has said that pollution caused by fossil fuels is a threat to public health and as a candidate he pledged to ban offshore oil drilling. But oil and gas are not going to be in his wheelhouse at DHHS.
The legacy media calls him an anti-vaxxer, but in fact Kennedy is just cautious about the quality of vaccines and whether they provide the health qualities desired, or come with side effects, such as autism in children. RFK Jr. has said he wants transparency in vaccines. It was the former Trump Administration that fast-tracked the Covid vaccines under emergency use orders.
Kennedy is also concerned about food additives and ultra-processed foods in America.
Trump has given him direction to get rid of corruption from health agencies, return the agencies to evidence-based science and medicine, and to end the chronic disease epidemic.
If every Democrat senator opposes his nomination, RKF Jr. can only afford to lose three Republican votes during his confirmation. It is unclear if Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski will be one of those votes.
After RFK Jr.’s meeting with Sen. Roger Marshall, the Kansas senator immediately launched a new caucus in the Senate, the Make America Healthy Again — MAHA — Caucus.
Marshall was joined with co-founders of the caucus Sens. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, and Rick Scott of Florida.
“The MAHA caucus is committed to improving health outcomes by prioritizing nutrition, providing access to affordable, nutrient-dense foods, and focusing on primary care availability to tackle the root causes of chronic diseases,” Marshall said. “With our ‘Food is Medicine’ approach, support from RFK Jr., and a shared goal to Make America Healthy Again, we aim to foster transparency, innovation, and a transformative agenda that builds a healthier, stronger nation.”
When has Dan cared about the health of Alaskans? His primary objective appears to be increasing military capabilities in Alaska. I understand he will argue those dollars will improve the health of Alaskans. He will lose that argument because Alaskans, especially those in the villages are not healthy. And the MediScam programs appear to feed on the problem, not to solve it at all. And what have the Native Corps done, other than a few lucky shareholders purchasing estates in San Diego?
Dan is becoming just a yes, man. Kennedy was probably the biggest mistake of all the appointees.
Please explain? How is wanting to hold big pharma and big agriculture feet to the fire bad? Maybe a little extra roundup for your food, I’ll pass.
He’s an anti vaxer plain and simple. I like my polio shot. He also has a degree in Karen.
Polio is not on his list. Many of us received small pox, polio, measles, TB, and chicken pox Vax, and are fine. It was when other non sense vaxx’s were added to the regiment that problems in children began. You are way off base and uninformed as usual.
Anyone who works for Trump is a yes man. Many not for long. That’s always been the way.
Excellent news!
Of course he does.
And thanks to you Suzanne for further spreading the nonsense about vaccines and autism. Never mind that there is zero connection between the two and that the bigger threat is the fact that most Americans are fat/obese and lazy. No amount of government intervention is going to make any progress against that truth.
Commie man, I pity you, I really do.
“No amount of government intervention is going to make any progress against that truth.” While I generally agree that the more government intervention the worse the problem becomes, in this case and once again, hetting government out of the way will help resolve the issue. Ever heard of the food pyramid that the government pushes, how about how the government subsidizes soy farmers who then put their waste into our food supply both directly and through feed to the animals we consume, ever look into how government has destroyed the small farmer and our food supply through all the subsidies? Big sugar wouldn’t be what it is if it weren’t for government intervention, our children wouldn’t be forced to consume government supplied non-nutritional foods if it weren’t for government intervention. Getting big government out of our food supply would go a very long ways towards correcting the obesity problem in this country, so yes there is an amount of government intervention that will help solve the issue…less of it.
RFK is one of Trump’s best appointments. It gives both middle fingers to the Democrats.
😂
It shouldn’t be about politics.
Ever heard of MAHA? Maybe you should look it up and educate yourself. It’s not all politics
You just repeated what I said only, Used about fifty words to do it.
No I didn’t repeat you, I am informed. It’s not all about you Forkker, as much as you want it to. This is about the health of Americans, man, woman and especially children. It must really to be as self centered as you are.
RFK Jr. gets it! The Democrats just suck.
Good job Dan. RFK getting nominated is a demand of the American voter. It best happen. Republican and Democrats are sick of crap food and sick of our current medical system. Pharmaceutical companies are thieves. Medical insurance sucks.
They wouldn’t vote for kennedy, though, would they?
Why not? He’s a better candidate for the job. Better than your idol Rachel Levin
Don’t know her him or it.
Oh come on Karen you know exactly who I am speaking of.
But I dont.
You should I see the family resemblance in his photos
Good going, Dan! Now we shall see if the senior senator from Alaska can overcome her pathological TDS and vote to confirm RFK Jr.
Yay!!!! Now for the others!
What snacks contains red 40, yellow 5 and yellow 6?
Cheezits
The good news is that we already have a system in place to give people access to primary care, Community Health Centers like Anchorage Neighborhood Health. They are in every state and territory. They just need more support and less red tape so they can attract and keep quality staff and focus on patient care. It would make a real difference if Kennedy could make that happen.
MAHA Caucas. Nice idea but Rick Scott? Really? The company he ran was found guilty of Medicare and Medicaid fraud and he was forced to resign. And now he’s in a Healthcare caucus? This will not be good.
Yeah, we couldn’t believe he got re-elected. He barely did. I think even he was surprised.
Well inform us exactly who in you miniature expertise should be president? No one else could get the swing in black and Latino voters like he did. You just a case of sour grapes
Not trump. He’s a threat to democracy.
Your lost then, this isn’t ancient Athens, you live in a Constitutional Republic. Long Live the Republic!
Yes, and it’s a democracy.
No technically it’s not. Show me in the constitution where mob/majority rule is mentioned. You cannot. I bet you believe the constitution can be amended with just a bill and the normal process.
Yes it is.
No it’s not, go buy a constitution and a Websters dictionary. I’m sorry you are so.challenged
Yes! A democratic republic with elected representatives. You are the gift that keeps on giving.
MAHA Caucas. Nice idea but Rick Scott? Really? The company he ran was found guilty of Medicare and Medicaid fraud and he was forced to resign. And now he’s in a Healthcare caucus? This will not be good.
I find it richly ironic that there is even a possibility that every Democratic Senator may oppose Bobby Kennedy’s son’s confirmation. It reveals how much the Dems have moved to an extreme position.
Thank you Senator Sullivan for being a voice of reason and moderation in a government without adults. And may God Bless Robert Kennedy Jr. He stands for transparency in our food supply and caution in our vaccine schedule.
Who in their right mind could defend Big Pharma and Big Agriculture and ultra processed food? Bring on the disruption. I welcome the abolishment of the status quo and desire better for our children.
They weren’t that popular before the bullets. Had to steal the election.
cash or ATM payments at hospital? grab those credit card airline miles? federal over reach to require vaccination or fluoride in water. back to the basics please, strict interpretation of the constitution please!!
walk or ride a horse to the hospital. cash only to pay for service, please. no Medicare, medicaid or VA payments needed, that’s all going away, great!!
keep it simple folks. die early like in 1500’s, around 30 years old is perfect
MAGA forever
Well there you go folks.. living proof the conspiracy of idiots is real: cman and greg legitimately believe what their talking about in this comment section..
