GET ME REWRITE: Spineless Louisiana U.S. GOP senator Bill Cassidy M.D. earns an unflattering profile in The Nation

 

Headline:  Nation, 6/20/2025

Gregg Gonsalves reports:

Cassidy is now the senior senator from Louisiana and the chair of the powerful Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. He’s more influential than ever, and he has presumably not forgotten about the importance of vaccinations. So when Donald Trump nominated longtime anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to the post of secretary of health and human services earlier this year, Cassidy was in a perfect position to push back. 

We all know what he did instead.
