Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) BEFORE: Environmental attorney and vaccine skeptic with a history of promoting anti-vaccine views NOTABLE QUOTE: “I agree with President Trump that every abortion is a tragedy. I agree with him that we cannot be a moral nation if we have 1.2 million abortions a year. I agree with him that the states should control abortion.” A member of the prominent Kennedy
family, he has had a multifaceted career as an environmental attorney, author, and activist. The son of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and
nephew of President John F. Kennedy, he has been a vocal critic of vaccines, promoting claims about potential links between vaccines and autism. He founded Children’s Health Defense, an organization accused of disseminating vaccine misinformation. As HHS secretary, he oversees critical
agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In his early days as secretary, Kennedy
postponed the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) meeting, which was set to discuss updates on vaccines for COVID-19, Lyme disease, and influenza. This delay has prompted questions about the future direction of U.S. vaccination policies under his leadership. He also suspended a flu vaccination advertising campaign. Kennedy’s leadership has also extended

of civil liberties in intelligence operations and advocated for stringent oversight of surveillance programs to prevent infringements on individual rights.
U.S. Attorney General BEFORE: Former Florida Attorney General (2011–2019) and staunch ally of President Donald Trump NOTABLE QUOTE: “This is a new DOJ, and we are taking steps to protect American citizens.” Bondi has pledged to prioritize
federal prosecutions for illegal border crossings, aligning with Trump’s immigration policies. Investigating claims of bias within
