"staffer at Musk's doge resigns after racist social media posts exposed"

Update: N.S., february 13, 2025, 11:15 a.m.: The item in question is an editorial, not a news article, and not even a "reportorial": Here's its lede:
"a staff member in the so-called department of government efficiency led by tech billionaire Elon Musk resigned after the wall street journal asked the white house about a social media account that advocated for racism and eugenics, the newspaper reported."
"so-called"? "racism and eugenics"? Those are all the opinions of pc cnbc operative Dan Mangan. Mangan calling the department of government efficiency "so-called" is particularly nasty, and has no place in a "news" report.

RFK JR CONFIRMED FOR CABINET SPOT
(GRA:STOP THE VAXXES)
(ZH)Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was confirmed as the Director of Health and Human Services on Thursday, despite Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-INO) voting against him.
The vote - which is ongoing, came after a heated battle in the Republican-controlled Senate, which voted 53-47 on Wednesday to invoke cloture, setting up the final confirmation showdown. Kennedy, a longtime vaccine skeptic and former environmental activist, only needs a simple majority of 51 votes to secure the position.
Kennedy’s nomination has been a political firestorm from the start. His past claims linking vaccines to autism and other harms sparked a fierce backlash from Democrats, who grilled him in contentious confirmation hearings last month. But despite their objections, Kennedy managed to navigate the political minefield, thanks in part to key Republican senators who were initially hesitant but ultimately threw their support behind him.
A GOP Divide Over RFK Jr.
With Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee refusing to advance Kennedy’s nomination, pressure fell on Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP). Cassidy, a physician himself, had expressed concerns about Kennedy’s anti-vaccine rhetoric but ultimately gave him the green light, citing a long list of commitments Kennedy made to ensure transparency and oversight.
“These commitments, and my expectation that we can have a great working relationship to make America healthy again, is the basis of my support,” Cassidy said.
Kennedy also won over GOP Sen. Susan Collins (Maine) and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), both of whom had initially been skeptical. Murkowski admitted she remained wary of Kennedy’s stance on vaccines but pointed to his pledges to work with Congress and make data-driven policy decisions.
One of the biggest question marks was Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), a staunch proponent of vaccines who contracted polio as a child. While McConnell voted to advance Kennedy’s nomination, all eyes were on whether he will break ranks with his party during the final confirmation vote.
