Trumpā€™s Surgeon General Search: Casey Means Out, Casey Means In Groucho Glasses & MustacheĀ In!

A quick reminder: America has not had a confirmed Surgeon General at the federal level since January of 2025. Yes, that's over a year ago. How we got here is a microcosm of the Trump administration generally: chaos, misfires, and the wrong people at the very top. Janette Nesheiwat was Trump's first nominee. MAGA gremlin Laura Loomer complained about her very loudly, leading Trump to obediently pull back the nomination.

For anyone who might be thinking Nicole Saphier is a significantly better nomination for Surgeon General than Casey Means because Saphier is at least a practicing, board certified physician, please be aware of this... šŸ˜·šŸ›Ÿ health policy
Screenshot from a product sold on Amazon. Promotional graphic for DropRx herbal supplements by Dr. Nicole Saphier. The layout shows 4 panels. A central panel with the DropRx logo and the tagline ā€œFeel better naturally, drop by drop,ā€ alongside text describing research-backed tinctures for focus, calm, and wellness. To the right, informational text explains the brandā€™s origins, product uniqueness, and focus on organic, non-GMO herbal blends made in the USA. A black-and-white portrait of Saphier appears on the far right. The background includes soft botanical illustrations in muted green and beige tones. Actual text window 1 of 4: "DropRx by Nicole Saphier DropRx is the gold standard in doctor formulated herbal blends, combining medical expertise with the purest plant-based ingredients." Actual text of window 2 of 4: "Solutions Backed by Research DropRx was developed as a solution for clean, thoughtfully crafted tinctures that support focus, calm, balance, and overall wellness, without unnecessary fillers or hype. Each formula is inspired by both traditional herbal wisdom and modern scientific insight, and designed to fit seamlessly into real life. Our goal is to give you tools that help you feel your best, naturally, confidently, and on your own terms." Window 3 actual text: "How did we get our start? Dr. Saphier's journey towards nutraceuticals began after her own diagnosis of an autoimmune disease and skin cancer. Her experience led her to explore and create ways to enhance her health by adding natural remedies to her treatment regimens. What makes our products unique? DropRx combines medical expertise with 100% sustainably sourced natural ingredients - it is designed for those who seek both science and nature. What do we specialize in? We clinically craft and create organic, non-GMO, vegan, kosher liquid herbal blends that are made in the USA." Window 4 is just her image.

In almost a year and a half, we are now on the third nominee for surgeon general of the US. None have been qualified. Maybe just maybe if a qualified person were nominated confirming them wouldn't be such a challenge.

Trumpā€™s new nominee for surgeon general, Dr. Nicole Saphier, has long been critical of RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine work, including "Plandemic," the viral anti-vaccine film Kennedy financed. In her book, Saphier called it a "video full of hoax theories."
Before her nomination, Trumpā€™s surgeon general pick called out RFK Jr.ā€™s anti-vaccine work

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 May EITM Trump pulls one anti-trans nomination, announces a new anti-trans nomination drawn from Fox News for US Surgeon General. This is the second such from Fox -- apparently no medical knowledge is needed for the position, just good camera presence and high Q Scores

We very much appreciate this support at @defendpublichealth.bsky.social. I want to point out that almost 5000 of you answered the call and contacted your Senators to express your opposition to Casey Means. We are stronger together, and when we fight, we win.

"when we fight we win" isn't just a mantra, it's the damn truth. @defendpublichealth.bsky.social deserves recognition for leading the grassroots opposition on this

I've been saying it for months: Casey Means did not have the qualifications to be our nationā€™s Surgeon General. We need our nationā€™s public health leaders to believe in science ā€” not work to subvert public health programs, sow vaccine distrust, or push a corrupt agenda.
