Interesting that they mention this letter from the MAHA folks. 5 names listed with some loose affiliation with an elite institution and “500 names” that remain invisible. Typical. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/800-medical-professionals-endorse-rfk-jr-to-lead-health–human-services-showing-widespread-support-from-medical-community-to-make-america-healthy-again-302332031.html

FYI, The Hill did a story much like the NY Times, and that in turn was essentially copied/summarized by HuffPost and KFF Health News. Nothing terribly different than what you’ve all seen, so I won’t bother to post the links, but overall this got a decent amount of traction. I’m disappointed Politico and NPR did nothing, even though they got the release, but that’s showbiz — and this week all the DC press is focused on Pete Hegseth and the other sketchy national security nominees.
Meanwhile, the NY Times asked Gregg for an op-ed focusing on RFK Jr’s AIDS denialism, so keep your fingers crossed that his comes to fruition.
