Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) suggested over the weekend that he was not closed off to confirming Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be the next Secretary of Health and Human Services. Sanders left the possibility open during a Sunday interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” with host Margaret Brennan. “I have, up to now, voted for some Trump appointees. A few,” Sanders said. “I voted against most, and I’ll make my decisions next week. Where Kennedy is right is, we are an unhealthy society — a point I’ve been making, many others have been making for a long time. One of the things that concerns me very much, and Kennedy mentioned it, is our life expectancy. How long our people live is five years less than other wealthy countries.” “And if you’re working class in this country, you live six or seven years lower than if you are rich,” he continued. “It is an issue we have to deal with. And I think the kind of addictive and poisonous food that the food industry is providing our kids is one of the factors, not many. But when you have Kennedy come forward in saying he cannot — he believes, continues to believe that autism is caused by vaccines despite the fact that there have been a dozen studies over the years which disprove that. When he has other conspiracy theories, when he cannot acknowledge that if you’re going to make America healthy, you’ve got to guarantee health care to all people. He was not clear about the need to take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry and lower prescription drug costs. So I was not particularly happy with his presentation.” When asked if some of Kennedy’s responses were “red lines” for him, Sanders responded: “I just don’t go around making these announcements.” “I will vote when I’ll vote,” he said. “But anybody who watched that hearing understands my deep concerns about Kennedy, but I got to tell you, the conspiracy theories that he is throwing out is not unlike what we’re hearing all over the Trump administration. And to me, what is most important in terms of what’s been happening since Trump has been president, it’s not just him having the three wealthiest people in the country stand behind them. By the way, anybody, any working person in this country, should understand what that means. It means that you can have a government working for the very rich, not for the working class of this country, but the movement toward authoritarianism.” WATCH: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) won’t say whether he will vote to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as health secretary, but he still has “deep concerns” about Kennedy’s stances on vaccines and other health issues. “The conspiracy theories that he is throwing out, it’s not unlike what… pic.twitter.com/YAr0d6TkBM — Face The Nation (@FaceTheNation) February 2, 2025

Baby name trends are always shifting, and for those of us who were born in the ’80s, it might feel like our names have been left in the past. Recently, TikTok user and professional baby name consultant Colleen Slagen went viral for sharing some rare information. In one of her posts, she dissected the top 100 girls’ names from 1986. She highlighted the ones that “did not age well” and have fallen out of favor. Interestingly, some names that had once been popular are still holding their ground. Which baby names from the ’80s are no longer popular? @namingbebe Sorry Lindsay, Heather, and Courtney. #babynames #nametok #nameconsultant #girlnames #80skid #1986 #nametrend ♬ original sound – Colleen   The first name that Slagen identifies as “officially out” is Heather. Other names from the ’80s that have fallen off the charts include Erica, Courtney, Lindsay, Tara, Crystal, Shannon, Brandy, and Dana. Tiffany, Brittany, and Casey are also heading in the same direction. While these names were once staples of the ’80s baby boom, they’re now relics of a bygone era. However, there are some surprising survivors. Andrea ranks surprisingly high, and names like Jessica, Ashley, and Stephanie have managed to hold on — at least for now. The real champion of the ’80s still remains Jennifer, as it stayed in the top 100 until as recently as 2008.

I don’t think I’ve met a Stephanie younger than myself at 34,” he wrote. Others shared their own experiences, and a certain Brandy insisted his name is getting extinct.

The Gen Z hostess at Olive Garden told me that she’d never heard my name before, and it was so unique.” Another fan remarked, “I met a toddler Amanda recently, and they called her Mandy. I was sooo surprised. Such an ’80s vibe!” One person reflected, “1985 Jessica here. Every girl in my class was either Jessica, Jennifer, or Ashley.” Next up: Caroline Kennedy Makes Startling Allegations Against Cousin Robert F.
