We need a doctor...no really!

The nomination of wellness influencer and unlicensed physician Dr. Casey Means to Surgeon General is peak insanity on top of dismantling NIH and more!

You can’t be serious

It seems they really are. This week Donald Trump pulled the nomination of his original choice for Surgeon General Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a former Fox News contributor. In her place he named wellness influencer Dr. Casey Means who never completed her surgical residency.

She isn’t even qualified to be Surgeon General but that has never stopped Trump before.

The entire healthcare system is under attack from the very top. Our nation will be in real danger when faced with another crisis like COVID or worse and the damage is going to last for decades.

This week I was joined by Dr. Anahita Dua the founder of Healthcare for Action and a highly respected vascular surgeon, working to reform our healthcare system and support science. We dive deep into the entirely unacceptable nomination of Dr. Casey Means as Surgeon General, the damage at NIH, and her belief that all Presidential candidates should pass a full cognitive testing battery.


Unite for Veterans. Unite for America

Finally, I’d love you to join me and thousands of my fellow veterans, family members, and supporters on the National Mall on June 6th for Unite for Veterans. Our goal is to let our leaders know that we aren’t going to sit quietly while our veterans healthcare and benefits are stripped from them: while thousands lose their jobs; and while they shred the Constitution we swore an Oath to protect and defend from all enemies; foreign and domestic.

Also, Dropkick Murphys will be there to perform their newest songs and more is coming. Be there!
