How is it possible that you have this job?': RFK Jr.'s incompetence becomes too glaring to overlook

Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump's HHS secretary, is distinguishing himself as not only incompetent but dangerously so, leading a department with lives at stake. Rachel Maddow reports.' 11 min.

My words: Caution, your outrage will be difficult to contain.

Every single person around Trump is working to do the opposite of what they are supposed to be doing.

a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens

Just like how nothing is stable when the stable genius is in charge.
