His doctors agree that this care is right for him.

Exactly how did we go from "well regulated militia" to this? "A 20-year-old woman was shot and killed after her friend turned into the wrong driveway in upstate New York" https://apple.news/AU_yM4TOMQkKwZe0F19914A "'We thought we were at the right address,' Walsh told NBC.

It was also signed by celebrities including comedian Hannah Gadsby and actor Jameela Jamil.
