If a single physician legislator votes to confirm Dr Casey Means as surgeon general I am reporting them. I am going to file a complaint with their state medical board. If they confirm her they are supporting dangerous misinformation
I am 100% serious, and I invite anyone else to do the same.

Assemblymember Chantel Jackson once had questions about Death with Dignity. But after hearing stories of New Yorkers suffering at the end of life, she co-sponsored the bill. “That’s what made me decide I need to be a co-sponsor.” Hear her story: tinyurl.com/4h8ym3dn

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.
