El-Sayed Targets MAHA Voters in Michigan Senate Race with Health Agenda

Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is courting supporters of the Make America Healthy Again movement in Michigan by proposing a health-focused agenda that includes limiting pesticides, updating drinking water standards, and expanding access to healthy food. While he supports vaccines, distinguishing him from some MAHA advocates, this strategy aims to capture voters in a closely watched race where Democrats seek to flip the Senate.

MAHA’s internal rifts and financial ties threaten Kennedy’s health agenda ahead of midterms

The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) initiative is facing a severe internal split between grassroots activists and corporate sponsors, while new financial disclosures raise ethical concerns about Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. As MAHA prepares for its first major political test in the 2026 midterms, these divisions and potential conflicts of interest risk undermining the movement's credibility and its support for Republican candidates.

Trump’s FDA pick faces uphill Senate ride over vaccines and leadership chops

Heidi Overton, a physician and Trump aide, is nominated to head the FDA. Her involvement in Trump’s vaccine policy and loyalty to the White House have sparked opposition from Senate Republicans like Bill Cassidy and abortion-rights and MAHA advocates, threatening her confirmation. Critics say she lacks regulatory leadership experience, while supporters note her interagency policy work. If Cassidy blocks a committee vote, her path to Senate approval becomes unlikely.

Trump weighs Sharpless for FDA chief, signaling shift away from Kennedy vaccine agenda

The Trump administration is vetting Norman Sharpless, a former director of the National Cancer Institute and former acting FDA chief, to lead the FDA, signaling a move away from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s vaccine-policy agenda toward more conventional leadership ahead of the midterms. Sharpless has criticized certain FDA vaccine-policy changes, and other candidates include Alkermes CEO Richard Pops and acting commissioner Kyle Diamantas as officials seek stability at the agency amid turnover and policy fights, including debates over abortion-pill access.

FDA weighs loosening rules on unproven peptide injections

FDA weighs loosening rules on unproven peptide injections

The FDA says it will convene a July advisory panel to decide whether seven popular but unproven peptide injections should be added to a list allowing pharmaceutical compounding, potentially easing restrictions. The move aligns with Health Secretary RFK Jr.’s push to loosen peptide regulations and the stance of MAHA supporters, though critics warn that most peptides lack safety data and could bypass traditional drug testing. Even if advisers approve, the agency must still complete formal rulemaking. Some peptides are banned by sports bodies and have previously been placed on restricted lists due to health risks, underscoring ongoing safety concerns around this market.

RFK Jr. Support Costs Ex-Dolls Member a Reunion, She Says

Jessica Sutta says endorsing RFK Jr. and his Make America Healthy Again platform cost her a reunion with the Pussycat Dolls, calling herself a "liability" for MAGA ties. The group is touring as a trio (Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, Kimberly Wyatt) after leaving out Sutta and Carmit Bachar, with founder Robin Antin reportedly in the loop for the shake-up as the act emphasizes an ever-changing lineup.

Unmasking the MAHA Veil: Health rhetoric as social punishment

Jonathan V. Last argues that the anti-trans movement and the Make America Healthy Again health crusade use rhetoric about health not to promote transparency or genuine policy, but to punish marginalized people and pressure others to adopt flawed cures. He points to Kansas’ law that would immediately invalidate transgender drivers’ licenses as evidence of a punitive, camouflaged agenda behind slogans about women’s sports and health.

Trump’s Wellness-Influencer Nominee for Surgeon General Faces Senate Scrutiny

Casey Means, a Stanford-trained but not board-certified surgeon and wellness influencer tied to RFK Jr.’s health policy, is Trump’s nominee for surgeon general and will be grilled by the Senate HELP committee. Critics question her lack of an active medical license and extensive clinical experience, while supporters note her focus on diet and lifestyle and her role in the Make America Healthy Again movement. Means co-founded Levels and co-authored Good Energy, arguing for real-time metabolic data and signaling skepticism toward the standard vaccine schedule; the nomination has sparked backlash from the medical establishment as the administration reshapes health policy amid turnover at the HHS and CDC.

RFK Jr. and Kid Rock Unleash a Bizarre Health Promo Video

An opinion piece mocks Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s promotional video with Kid Rock, a shirtless, over‑the‑top montage urging Americans to “GET ACTIVE + EAT REAL FOOD” and tied to Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again campaign. The piece notes the gimmicky workout scenes (including a bear prop and jeans‑clad cold plunge) reflect Kennedy’s controversial health views, such as vaccine skepticism and changes to vaccination schedules and dietary guidance, which critics say have undermined public health at HHS amid recent measles concerns.

Harvard Psychiatrist Refutes Kennedy Keto-Cure Claim for Schizophrenia

Harvard psychiatrist Christopher Palmer said Kennedy Jr.’s claim that keto diets cure schizophrenia is not accurate; while ketogenic therapy shows promise for some patients, it remains unproven and should not replace antipsychotics without medical supervision. Palmer envisions a future where dietary interventions could play a role, with ongoing trials and funding, as Kennedy’s MAHA movement promotes broader research and access to metabolic treatments.
