RFK Jr. Fires Two Top Aides in H.H.S. Shake-Up
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the new Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary, has fired his chief of staff and a deputy chief of staff in a shake-up at the department. The two officials, considered experienced and competent government professionals, were seen as providing practical and effective management at HHS. The reasons for their dismissal are not entirely clear, but the move is interpreted as a signal of Kennedy's intention to reshape the department's leadership and priorities. The shake-up comes amid concerns about Kennedy's unorthodox views on certain public health issues, which have raised questions about his ability to lead the department effectively. The dismissals are likely to be seen as a further indication of the new secretary's determination to put his own stamp on the agency, even if it means parting ways with seasoned bureaucrats.
