Martin Makary shared misinformation about abortion pills at his Senate confirmation hearing.

On Tuesday night,Ā the Senate 56 to 44 voted to confirm Martin Makary as Trumpā€™s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner.

Three Democratsā€”Senators Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), and Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.)Ā ā€”joined Republicans in the confirmation vote to appoint Makary, formerly a surgeon and professor at theĀ Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, to lead the agencyā€™s 18,000 employees and spearhead theĀ regulationĀ of products as vast and varied as food, cosmetics, and medical devices.

    #RESIST , Trump is literally Hitler, but weā€™ll still vote to confirm his picks. The Democrats are fucking useless.

      Dick Durbin, once again living up to his mommaā€™s spite.

      (Why else would you name a kid ā€œdickā€- or at least a name that was always associated with a prick? At least as far back as mid 1800ā€™s. Granted, he might actually be that old.)
