Bizarre video shows dozens of trans rights activists recently protesting at a New York City education council meeting by silently dancing "La Macarena." The meeting, which was held by the Community Education Council for District 2 (CEC 2), was held on Feb. 26. A YouTube stream of the meeting shows the protesters quietly performing the iconic '90s dance, some out of step with others.

Kennedy Jr., said in his confirmation hearing before the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday that his objective to making "America Healthy Again" will not include taking food such as cheeseburgers or Twinkies off of the shelves – quipping his boss has a soft spot for fast food. "Most importantly, we need to use, deploy, NIH and FDA to doing the research to understand the relationship between these different food additives and chronic diseases so that Americans understand it," Kennedy explained before the committee on Wednesday. "But I don't want to take food away from anybody. If you like a cheeseburger, a McDonald's cheeseburger, or a Diet Coke, which my boss loves, you should be able to get them," he said, which sparked laughter from the audience. "If you want a Hostess Twinkies, you should be able to do that. But you should know what the impacts are on your family and on your health," he explained.
