An ICU nurse was disarmed and murdered in cold blood — on film. Meanwhile, Secretary Noem, when questioned directly, focuses on “stolen tax dollars.” We have lost the plot.

Don’t get me wrong — graduating at the top of your medical school class is fine. But that alone doesn’t make you a great — or even competent — physician. And it certainly doesn’t qualify you to be the Surgeon General. There’s a reason we do residency! #surgeongeneral #unqualified
4 in 10 adults in our country are struggling with medical debt. Adding work requirements to Medicaid doesn’t create jobs or strengthen the economy — it simply pushes more families into financial crisis while the wealthy get another tax cut.
