RFK Jr. grilled in Congress

Kennedy's first appearance before Congress in 2026 was marked by sharp exchanges with Democratic representatives over rising measles cases and public health policy.

He denied making controversial remarks about Black youth despite being confronted with specific podcast transcripts.

The hearings also touched on his administration's efforts to ease restrictions on peptides and other alternative medical treatments.

As the 'Make America Healthy Again' agenda moves forward, Kennedy remains a polarizing figure at the center of the administration's healthcare overhaul.
