Just Wow. RFK Jr. Bluesky post and KFF article

I'm sorry but what is RFKjr doing in an OPERATING ROOM WITH A LIVE PATIENT SPLAYED OPEN FOR HEART SURGERY??? What the ever living hell? We need a lot more reporting on this and fast.

"He inspected the kitchen of a Toledo daycare center, where hundreds of the city’s tiniest residents learn and play through the federally funded Head Start program. Under the careful watch of a surgeon, and with the machine disconnected, Kennedy briefly tested the teaching console of the renowned Cleveland Clinic’s robotic hands with a live patient splayed open for heart surgery in the room. And he munched on pesticide-free squash blossoms from a 400-acre farm."

Every time I think I’ve heard everything, sure enough, something else comes along to blow the previous superlative star straight outta the building.
