Call your senators and congressional representative.

If they are Republicans, ask them to justify what RFK, Jr. is doing today at HHS.

If they are Democrats, ask them to hold a press conference and speak out.

Widespread layoffs, purge of leadership underway at U.S. health agencies
. The move comes after Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s announcement of a sweeping reduction of the Department of Health and Human Services.

I just called my two Republican senators (both of whom voted to confirm RFK, Jr.) and my Democratic congresswoman. As usual, nobody answered the phones at the Republicans' offices. I left polite but firm messages stating that I expected to be called back with an explanation.

My Democratic congresswoman's staff always answer the phones. I spoke politely but firmly to two polite staffers, saying I expect her to hold a press conference and speak out.

We can fight back. Do it. Make it their problem,
