NEW: Last night, the Senate passed a bill that reauthorizes addiction treatment and housing services for recently incarcerated people.

This is a crucial step toward ensuring people coming out of prison have the support they need.

RFK Jr. is HARKing in human form.

“hypothesizing after results are known,” is a tactic to “fit” a narrative to data.

It’s how he’s going to “make proof” for false health claims.

RFK Jr isn’t a scientist. He doesn’t know how to do science. He HAS profited off health disinformation for decades.

I do biomedical research to help people. When people come in this space making things up, it makes it harder for people not in the field to trust the extensive studies that we do and distinguish fact from fiction. Baseless claims reduce future cures. Willful ignorance drives us backwards.

The Trump administration’s National Guard deployments are highly inefficient.

We cannot allow this Qatar AF Base in Idaho‼️ This cannot happen! I have a feeling this may be what so many have been waiting for to join a general strike or millions of us stand together in one place until we prevail! Is this it!? Are we done with the FAFO on the Reich???

Our governors and us are all that stands between authoritarianism and democracy.

We will not tolerate a king in America.

Social media post:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to
protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!

Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker
I will not back down.
Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected
representatives checking his power.
What else is left on the path to full-blown
authoritarianism?

This shit is crazy because they're just straight up on video hitting a car that was blocked in the street. The extent as to which DHS now just brazenly puts out lies is utterly obscene.

UPDATE: In emailed statement to me / @reason.com, DHS alleges that WGN-TV producer Debbie Brockman "threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer."

Screencap of email from DHS public affairs: Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin:

“U.S. Border Patrol was conducting immigration enforcement operations and when several violent agitators used their vehicles to block in agents in an effort to impede and assault federal officers. In fear of public safety and of law enforcement, officers used their service vehicle to strike a suspect’s vehicle and create an opening. As agents were driving, Deborah Brockman, a U.S. citizen, threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer.

“This incident is not isolated and reflects a growing and dangerous trend of illegal aliens violently resisting arrest and agitators and criminals ramming cars into our law enforcement officers. These attacks highlight the dangers our law enforcement officers face daily—all while receiving no pay thanks to the Democrats’ government shutdown.”

While Trump is busy licking his wounds in public, this week his loyalist have fought tooth and nail to prevent the US congress from releasing the Epstein files and have declared anti-fascism terrorism punishable by arbitrary arrest or assassination.

First Comey and now James. He's targeting people who don't bow down to his fashy bollocks.

Both Comey and James no doubt have excellent lawyers - the bigger worry comes when he turns his attention on the layperson who cannot afford lawyers because he will that's the next step along the fash road

So not only am I to believe that ANTIFA is a thing, but now we're being told the government has arrested the founder's girlfriend? Didn't they just say at the White House ANTIFA roundtable that it dated back to the Weimar Republic? 🤔

Get your story straight!!

In a democracy, presidents don’t wield the military against citizens or weaponize the Justice Department against political opponents.

Since Congress won’t act, voters must.

We must decide what kind of country we want

A president who uses the military and the Justice Department to exact revenge against his perceived enemies is as un-Ame
