A CNN segment featured a supercut of the growing opposition against Trump's "Make America Healthy Again" movement.

"We are on the brink of falling apart," a MAHA influencer is shown confessing in a report by CNN's Meena Duerson. "I am a diehard conservative, and I got this group of moms, and I'm trying to keep us together."

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recruited social media influencers to campaign for Trump's MAHA movement. Kennedy leveraged his past as a lawyer supporting people who sued the former owners of Roundup weed killer for using cancer-causing chemicals....

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has only collected a drop in the bucket for the PAC he promised would bring in more congressional Republicans supporting a "Make America Healthy Again" agenda.

A Politico report on Thursday found that the PAC and its only other aligned Super PAC have $412,000 left in cash after lackluster fundraising. Todd Lyons, RFK Jr.'s appointee to run the PAC, promised last month to bring in $100 million for Republicans. He didn't respond to Politico's request for comment.

President Trump had been counting on MAHA Republicans to boost the GOP majority after the midterms. ...

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt attempted to explain President Donald Trump's eating habits in an unusual discussion about the Make America Healthy Again movement and her personal connection to it.

In an exclusive interview with Politico published Thursday, Leavitt — the youngest press secretary in United States history and the first serving while pregnant — talked about her relationship with the MAHA movement and as a self-described "MAHA mom." Leavitt recently announced she was expecting her second child in May with husband Nicholas Riccio and shared her thoughts on healthy eating, parental choice while raising children, vaccine mandates and accessing healthy foods.

The most notable moment in the interview was when she was asked about the president's diet, which his inner circle has reportedly expressed concerns over, questioning his preference for fast food....

In an article about Means's online money-making schemes, the AP quoted the unlicensed doctor as acknowledging that allowing supplement companies to sponsor her 200,000-subscriber strong newsletter can create questionable optics.

“I do understand how it’s messy," Means admitted on a recent podcast....

A family railed against health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his "Make America Healthy Again" movement on MSNBC Wednesday after their 10-year-old nearly died from an E. coli infection after consuming contaminated food.

NBC News revealed last month that 89 people across 15 states were sickened in an E. coli outbreak due to romaine lettuce in November, but the Food and Drug Administration — under the auspices of Kennedy — closed its investigation in February and never disclosed vital information to the public.

“The FDA should still do its job and let the American taxpayers know exactly who's at fault," Colton George's father, Chris George, told MSNBC's Katy Tur. "That way we can know, and the American people can know." ...

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s "Make America Healthy Again" campaign is being criticized for using "misleading" information in its official report on children's health.

In "MAHA Report: Making Our Children Healthy Again" released Thursday, the White House "blamed exposure to environmental toxins, poor nutrition and increased screen time for a decline in Americans’ life expectancy" and declared, “today’s children are the sickest generation in American history in terms of chronic disease," according to The Washington Post.

The MAHA report also "casts doubt on the current vaccine schedule and medications deemed safe by most in mainstream medicine," the Post said, adding that "several sections of the report offer misleading representations of findings in scientific papers."...
