Last night with no warning, RFK Jr. cancelled up to $2 billion in funding for mental health and substance abuse research and programs administered through SAMHSA.
He and his minions did so because “they no longer believe the defunded programs align with the Trump administration's priorities”.

I'm in Detroit. It's 25 degrees & dropping. I met a woman who has slept outside for 5 months. Yesterday, all of her belongings, incl her blankets, were thrown away. She has nowhere else to go.
It doesn't have to be like this. Housing + support solves homelessness. We need political will.

For the daily cost of deploying the DC Guard, $420,000, 9 folks could move from homelessness to housing.
This doesn't include the costs of the 4 states sending guard units to occupy DC.
We have the money to solve homelessness, but we don't have the political will.

THERE ARE NO SHELTERS IN DC FOR PEOPLE TO GO TO. 900 ppl sleep outside each night. There are 40 open shelter beds. Ppl will be arrested for being unable to afford rent.
Every reporter needs to ask Trump and his cronies where he wants people to go.
Maybe his new ballroom?
