Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) filed articles of impeachment against Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Wednesday, accusing him of abusing the powers of his office and undermining public health, putting Americans’ lives at risk.

He “has got to go,” Stevens said in a video announcing the impeachment articles. In an accompanying press statement, she said Kennedy, who rose to prominence as an ardent anti-vaccine activist, “has turned his back on science, on public health, and on the American people—spreading conspiracies and lies, driving up costs, and putting lives at risk.” She called him the “biggest self-created threat to our health and safety.”

It is very unlikely that an impeachment push will gain traction in the Republican-controlled Congress. No other Democratic lawmakers are backing the articles.

    I have never said in any way shape or form that I don’t understand the terrible us system. I think you must be confusing me with someone else.

      Look, you did imply it. Whether you meant to or not. By answering “And we keep telling you that it is your system that you all are responsable for and we don’t care that you use it as an excuse while dragging the rest of the world down with you.” to “And we keep telling you that isn’t how our system is set up but you aren’t interested in understanding.” you are implying that the statement you are responding to is correct. It’s a ‘yes, and’ statement, like in improv comedy.

        you are implying that the statement you are responding to is correct.

        The statement “yes, you keep saying that” is not equivalent to “yes, what you keep saying is true.”

        Your inability and unwillingness to engage with the actual topic could not be more obvious.

            American exceptionalism strikes again!

            Most exceptional place in the world, so exceptional that nothing can be done to solve issues that have been solved elsewhere, and if you don’t think so it’s because you don’t understand how exceptional it is!

              Yes, clearly the issue is the rest of the world! And the us system is unchangable! Nothing could ever be done about a two party system, what would they possibly do?! We must not understand that if you are american and unhappy with party Atm then you have no choice but to become a full blown party Btm supporter! There is nothing else that can be done! And remember it is not any individuals/city/states fault as they voted for Kodos!
