‘Will Cause So Much Pain’: Dem Senator Melts Down as RFK Jr. Investigates Risks of SSRI’s and Weight Loss Drugs |

After less than a week in office, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has already stirred up controversy among Democratic lawmakers. The White House recently issued a memorandum outlining the President’s Make America Healthy Again Commission, in which they pledged to assess the prevalence and threat posed by certain prescription drugs.

Specifically, the memorandum mentioned selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, stimulants, and weight-loss drugs. This move has sparked outrage from Senator Tina Smith of Minnesota, who took to social media to express her concerns. She believes that this assessment could cause pain for the 45 million Americans facing mental health challenges.

However, it is important to note that nowhere in the order does Kennedy mention blocking or restricting access to these medications. The focus seems to be on evaluating the potential risks and over-utilization of these drugs, as well as other factors like food ingredients and chemicals, particularly in children.

Senator Smith was among the Democrats who voted against Kennedy’s nomination to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Despite being a lifelong Democrat, Kennedy has made it clear that he intends to challenge the power and abuses of large pharmaceutical companies and other corporate entities.

In a surprising turn of events, Senator Smith announced that she would not seek re-election in 2026, citing personal reasons for her decision. This news has left a vacancy in the Senate for Minnesota, with Smith emphasizing the need for strong progressive leadership in these challenging times.

As the political landscape continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how Kennedy’s leadership at the HHS shapes the healthcare industry and addresses the concerns raised by lawmakers like Senator Smith. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
