Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is taking his “Make America Healthy Again” agenda on the road this week, stopping in Indiana Tuesday. While Kennedy has only had the job for two months, he’s already made major changes to the American public health system, from firing thousands of agency staff to digging in on debunked theories tying childhood vaccinations to an increase in autism diagnoses. Alice Miranda Ollstein, health care reporter for Politico, breaks down the worrying ripple effects of Kennedy’s healthcare overhaul.

And in headlines: A federal judge told the Trump administration she wants to see some receipts detailing the ways it’s working to bring back a wrongly deported Maryland man, President Donald Trump doubled down on his desire to deport U.S. citizens to foreign gulags, and Trump also signed a presidential memorandum aimed at stopping undocumented immigrants from receiving benefits they already can’t get.
