President meets the Syrian leader in a big breakthrough for the former jihadi

The secretary for health and human service, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is said to testify today both in the house and in the Senate to discuss the budget proposal of the White House.

It will be the first time that he has testified to a congress committee for his cabinet post since his confirmation hearing.

When he speaks in front of the Senate Committee for Health, Education and Pensions, it is the first time in two decades that an HHS secretary has testified on the president's budget, according to the committee.

The hearing should be the status of Kennedy's relationship to the committee chair Senator Bill Cassidy, R-La., Easy, who had expressed concerns about Kennedy's nomination about his attitude towards vaccines.

During the confirmation process, Kennedy had agreed to appear in front of the committee quarterly in front of the committee if they were asked to secure the support of Cassidy.

When asked whether Kennedy had retained his commitment not to spread misinformations or to sow misstructure in vaccines, Cassidy recently said: “Everything I will say about the obligations is that he has lived her so far.” Cassidy also said he had a “good work relationship” to Kennedy.

Other Republicans of the Senate who were on the fence to support Kennedy had positive things to say about which he kept them on the loop.

Senator Susan Collins from Maine said that she often writes the secretary, but still plans to push him to the National Institutes of Health.

Democrats will probably also concentrate on the NIH cuts as well as on the measles eruption, the cuts of medical research, the costs for prescription medication and its vaccine policy.

Sen. Andy Kim, Dn.J., said NBC News, Kennedy should be willing to answer questions about “some of the alarming statements that he had made about his term as secretary”.

Senator John Hickenlooper, D-Colo.

Yesterday Senator Angela, sobrooks, d-Md, who sits in the committee, submitted a solution to the disapproval against Kennedy and asked him to step down. So this week will try to adopt the resolution in the Senate through unanimous consent, but a Republican of the Senate will most likely block these efforts.
