The unique role Cassidy could play here is clear (although it doesn't make up for his RFK vote) but Sen Barrasso is also an MD and could step up. As a matter of fact, ANY R Senator who pays even the slightest most casual attention to health, could also step up here.
That last point. Cassidy really has enormous leverage if he wants to use it. He would win this fight. Worst case is he winds up losing a primary and spends his 70s (he's 68 now) as a hero to millions. He'll likely never have as much influence over anything again as he has over this right now.
ACIP may end universal Hep B vaccination today.
Hep B prevention is Cassidy's passion, as he made clear during RFK Jr's confirmation hearings.
But let's not forget... his vote to confirm RFK Jr. got us into this mess!
He needs to use every lever of power he has in the Senate to fix it.

Agree entirely. Important t point out that Sen Barrasso is also an MD.
Cassidy is an MD who made his name in Louisiana getting widespread HBV vaccines for children. He could have blocked RFK Jr from HHS if he had a spine. Critiquing Kennedy now is toothless unless he argues for impeachment and removal.

It's the opposite of "the buck stops here". He is selling out Admiral Bradley and sending chills down the spines of his chain of command, who now know their boss will sell them out if he is taking heat. A case study in how not to lead.

Agree entirely. NYT has had countless instances recently of misleading/ inaccurate framing. Framing matters! Get it right or own the criticism-NYT!
For my part, I would say that questioning the framing of some Times stories—for example, the highlighting of Trump’s putative emotions or the foregrounding of what he says (even when, as is often the case, what he says is false)—is not an indication that I want my “views validated.”

Wow. Just conceding in advance. Totally unacceptable.
Republicans will absolutely allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor if you go out and make them do it. They have a tiny advantage in the House. Peel them off the way Dems did on the Epstein files vote.

When a news outlet puts a reckless, undocumented claim by the Trump regime in the main headline and puts medical experts’ pushback in the smaller type, it’s making a choice. And not a good one.
