Watch live: RFK Jr. testifies before Senate panel on HHS budget

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will testify Tuesday morning before the Senate Appropriations Committee on the department’s fiscal 2026 budget request.

Much of the request is focused on Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” agenda — from his vow to find the cause of autism to the administration’s efforts to ban artificial food dyes. It also includes significant reductions to social and research programs.

The hearing is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.
