John Muryell

Summary Thom Tillis’s confirmation vote enabled Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s dangerous health policies, prioritizing cost-cutting over public safety.

John Muryell

Washington, D.C. — The Trump administration’s push to block the release of Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) records has sparked intense speculation that the White House is actively concealing Elon Musk’s continued influence in federal policy-making.
