Actually, not true. #Lungcancer screening with #LDCT detects cancer at an early stage 80+% of the time; 70% of the time at Stage 1 when with complete resection 90+% are alive >5 years. It's an easy non invasive test. Pancreatic & Ovarian cancer do not have recommended screening tests. #lcsm

Lung Cancer 🫁 has been the number 1 cancer killer of American women since 1987. Strange how Congress instructed the CDMRP to delete ALL our federal research funding.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.
