Maddow: Trump has just nominated yet another person for Surgeon General. ... This latest one he's nominated is a Fox News personality who sells tinctures on Instagram, and what she says are “powerful-physician formulated aphrodisiacs.” So clearly, we’re in good hands… or at least we’re in hands.

Florida already has one of the highest uninsured rates in the country. Now, 858,000 Latinos in the state could lose health coverage under Trump-backed Medicaid and ACA cuts, according to @weareunidosus.bsky.social. We should be expanding care, not ripping it away.
