Laura Loomer coming out swinging against Casey Means after she apparently torpedoed the previous pick for surgeon general too. It’ll be interesting to see how much sway she has over the admin and how far Means gets.

Side note: Loomer is 31.
 
Our esteemed, highly rational HHS Secretary took his grandkids swimming in contaminated Rock Creek in Washington, DC. He's demented - the guy probably thinks that anyone who gets sick is just weak and had it coming.

According to one article "Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, posted photos on Sunday of himself and his grandchildren swimming in a contaminated Washington creek where swimming is not allowed because it is used for sewer runoff.

Rock Creek, which flows through much of Northwest Washington, is used to drain excess sewage and storm water during rainfall. The creek has widespread "fecal" contamination and high levels of bacteria, including E. coli, and the city has banned swimming in all of its waterways for more than 50 years because of the widespread contamination of Rock Creek and other nearby rivers."
