"Bill Cassidy, the foremost Republican critic of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the Senate, is broadening his assault.

Cassidy, who’s called out Kennedy repeatedly for Kennedy’s efforts to sow doubt about the importance of vaccination, attacked him Wednesday for not doing enough to stop people from taking abortion pills."
