Senator Maria Cantwell didn’t mince words when she told RFK Jr. to his face during the recent Senate hearing: “You’re a charlatan.”
Iconic. And she’s right. RFK Jr. built a career peddling lies, and now Trump has handed him the keys to our nation’s public health.
She’s not alone. Senator Patty Murray also called him out, reminding the nation that RFK Jr.’s lies are not just reckless, they’re dangerous. He is burning our public health system down from the inside.
They’ve both made clear that Trump and RFK Jr. are dismantling the very institutions that keep Americans safe. Senior CDC, FDA, and NIH experts have resigned in protest, while truth-tellers are being silenced or purged. Medical science, including vaccines, is being set back decades. And snake oil cures are being pushed by our top officials.
More than a thousand current and former health officials have already demanded RFK Jr.’s resignation. Now it’s our turn. ADD YOUR NAME: Demand RFK Jr. resign immediately.
And we cannot let Trump and RFK Jr. put loyalty over science and politics over people’s lives. Democratic leaders in California, Oregon, Hawaii, and Washington just launched the West Coast Health Alliance to uphold scientific integrity in public health and fight back against Trump and RFK Jr.’s assault on the CDC’s credibility.
If our President won’t keep us safe, we’ll do it ourselves. That’s what real leadership looks like.
Washington Democrats will keep fighting, but we need your voice in this fight.
Pitch in $10, $25, or whatever you can to power Washington Democrats in this fight.
In solidarity,
— Chair Shasti Conrad
