Haley Stevens.\n\n\u201cI am far from a performative actor in the House of Representatives, just recently being recognized by the Center for Effective Lawmaking as the most effective Democrat in the chamber for technology policy and the most effective Democrat for Michigan writ large in the chamber.\u201d\n\n\u201cI get things done, but my job is also accountability. I'm the one having these conversations with families who are devastated because these clinical trials are on the line. I'm hearing from women and, frankly, their children who are insulted because of false claims being made about Tylenol, and so we've got to put public health first, and that's why I've taken this step.\u201d\n\nNBC NEWS: House Democrat files impeachment articles against RFK Jr.\n\nBy: Scott Wong\n\nStevens said she had heeded the call of pro-science groups, who have warned that Kennedy\u2019s 10-month tenure leading HHS has cost American lives and that he must be removed.\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s a public health and safety issue\u2026and when I have Michiganders who have daughters or sons going through clinical cancer research trials that are stopped in the middle because of RFK, when I introduce legislation to reinstitute the funding for those clinical trials, and it doesn\u2019t get done \u2026 when I\u2019ve called on him to step down and he doesn\u2019t, this is a safety issue.\u201d\n\n\u201cI\u2019m a very serious lawmaker. I get a lot done here,\u201d she continued. \u201cBut I\u2019m not going to sit quietly by while people\u2019s health and safety and lives are on the line.\u201d\n\nThe Hill: House Democrat files articles of impeachment against RFK Jr.\n\nBy Sarah Fortinsky\n\nRep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) said on Wednesday she filed articles of impeachment against Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., calling him \u201cthe biggest self-created threat to our health and safety.\u201d\n\n\u201cRFK Jr. has got to go. Today, I introduced Articles of Impeachment to remove him from office. RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and public health and on the American people,\u201d Stevens said in a video statement released on the social platform X.\n\n\u201cUnder his watch, families are less safe, health care costs are skyrocketing, and lifesaving research, including right here in Michigan, is being gutted,\u201d she said in the video. \u201cRFK Jr. is the biggest self-created threat to our health and safety.\u201d\n\n\u201cI cannot and I will not stand by while one man dismantles decades of medical progress,\u201d she continued. \u201cEnough is enough, and that is why I\u2019m pushing to impeach RFK Jr., to hold him accountable and to protect the health, safety and future of every Michigander because our health, our science and our future are worth fighting for.\u201d\n\nIn late September, Stevens introduced the \u201cStop RFK\u2019s BS Act,\u201d which would reverse funding cuts Kennedy has overseen.\n\nMedPage Bill: House Democrat Files Articles of Impeachment Against RFK Jr.\n\nBy: Jennifer Henderson\n\nRep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) announced that she introduced articles of impeachment against HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday.\n\nThe articles of impeachment contend that Kennedy \"has imperiled the health and safety of the American people, eroded public confidence in the nation's public health institutions, and stalled decades of scientific and medical progress.\"\n\nStevens pointed to a series of actions taken by Kennedy, including cutting funding for lifesaving research; restricting access to COVID vaccines for pregnant women and healthy children; and firing all 17 previous members of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and replacing them with a smaller handpicked group.\n\nStevens' move closely follows the 2-day ACIP meeting last week, during which the panel discussed shrinking the childhood vaccination schedule and setting up a workgroup to assess the safety of aluminum adjuvants in vaccines, on top of voting to drop the recommendation for the hepatitis B vaccine for all babies at birth.\n\nMLive \u2018Enough is enough\u2019: Rep.
