Description

Sam Stein, JVL, and Catherine Rampell give their takes on why HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is demanding “safety data” from Dunkin' over its sugar-loaded iced coffees and why that fight could hit differently in Massachusetts. From 115 grams of sugar to 48-ounce coffee buckets, the crew taste-tests a truly unholy Dunkin order and debates whether this is public health policy or just another front for the MAHA movement in the culture wars.

No sugar, but RFK Jr. felt it was okay to use heroin for 14 years and snort cocaine off of toilet seats.

This is what he is worried about. Coffee. He stopped funding for cancer research.

Us Massholes do love our Dunkin but can not stand RFK. He's the Kennedy that even the Kennedys can't stand.

I’m Canadian and we feel about our “Timmies” the way you feel about Dunkin. No Canadian leader would ever consider messing with our Tim’s. Political suicide for sure.

MAHA has always been about money, wrapped in wellness scams.
