Kennedy Jr. was having rotator cuff surgery Tuesday, a spokesperson told MedPage Today. Kennedy plans to return to the office March 16, the spokesperson said. That person did not provide details about the reason for the procedure or which shoulder was repaired, and did not provide an update on his condition. Since his tenure at HHS began, Kennedy has frequently engaged in various physical activities publicly to promote his "Make America Healthy Again" agenda, including doing pull-ups at an airport event.

It wasn’t the most famous one, of the 5-year-old boy in a blue bunny winter hat and superhero backpack with ICE officers behind him. It was one from days later, of Liam slumped in his father’s arms while both were in custody in Texas.

A music professor at Utah State University, she’d spent the day with her students, but struggled to focus. Then she came home and read more bad news, this time, a piece in the newspaper about two Maga influencers railing against the dangers of compassion in response to the detainment of 5-year-old Liam Ramos in Minneapolis. “It was such a betrayal on every level,” McFaul said. “Of sisterhood, of motherhood, of decency.” (Sanders, 3/8)
