Michigan Senator-elect Seeks Investigation into RFK Jr. over Federal Health Agency Staffing Cuts
Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed has called for an investigation into Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over staffing cuts at federal health agencies, which he says weakened responses to foodborne outbreaks like the Cyclospora parasite that infected over 15,000 people in Michigan. El-Sayed criticized Kennedy's approach as "anti-science" and emphasized the need for accountability and problem-solving rather than retribution. He also signaled scrutiny of future nominees from the Trump administration.
