Updated June 11, 2026
WASHINGTON — A pledge to “Make America Healthy Again” earned Robert F. Kennedy Jr. his job atop U.S. health agencies a year and some change ago. He’s now had the opportunity to turn his words into action, with mixed results.
“All one needs” to prove the health secretary’s attentiveness is to “review my unprecedented list of accomplishments on a wide range of issues, all of which I drove,” Kennedy posted on X on Wednesday in response to a journalist.

RFK Jr. claims his calendar is publicly available. We’ve been trying to get it for a year
WASHINGTON — Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday pointed to his “publicly available calendar” as an example of his commitment to transparency and to beat back unfavorable reporting.
But no such calendar, detailing who Kennedy meets with or how he spends his time, has been released by the administration. STAT has been asking the Department of Health and Human Services for Kennedy’s calendar for more than a year, via Freedom of Information Act requests and emails to the press office.
