BREAKING: Trump “actively looking at” suspending habeas corpus — which would allow government to arrest, exile, detain, and even kill ANY of us. With NO trial, NO lawyer, NO judge ever hearing from you. It would be the death of freedom in America.

Unconscionable @ASTRO_org @ACRORadOnc And we wonder why we are no longer matching the best and brightest from US med schools anymore?
