The FDA used to have a page that specifically warned about potentially dangerous “treatments” for autism, such as chelation therapy and hyperbaric chambers.

“One day, a woman wrote to me on Signal, asking me not to respond. She lived alone, she messaged, and planned to die that weekend. Before she did, she wanted at least one person to understand: Trump had unraveled the government, and with it, her life.” @hannahnatanson.bsky.social essay:

the idea that a handful of conservative legal scholars have an understanding that should supersede a settlement affirmed my generations of american is astoundingly arrogant, and the idea that trump — or any president — can unilaterally overturn that settlement is just despotism

It says a lot about our country that the FBI had no interest in interviewing Brett Kavanaugh but wants to talk to Mark Kelly.

Donald Trump hates me, and the feeling is mutual.

I believe he is a criminal and an authoritarian who is trying to destroy our democracy and the rule of law. I spend a considerable amount of my time fighting against him and his enablers in court and in public discourse.
Trump Sued Me. I Fought and Won.

The two National Guard members who were shot would be at home celebrating Thanksgiving with their families right now if Trump hadn’t sent them to DC to feed his ego.
This is 100% trump’s fault.

precisely my thought. the president and his dumbass republican allies put these men and women into harm’s way for a political stunt and look what has happened
Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

These two things are true:
1) Shooting National Guard members is horrific and criminal.
2) So is putting National Guard members in harm’s way to score political points.

Trump’s immigration detention camps exist to drive profits for the prison companies giving him money.

The more profit they make, the more money they’ll give him, and the more people he’ll find to fill up those prisons — it’s not about crime and it won’t stop with immigrants.

In the NYT, here are the two reports directly beneath the news of two Guardsmen being shot: Trump agents deporting the spouses of citizens and Trump agents arresting folks without warrants. Don’t tell me Trump and his aides aren’t trying to incite violence to justify martial law.

The shooting of two Guardsmen in DC is a tragedy.

It is also EXACTLY what Trump wanted and was waiting for.

No POTUS has ever so premeditated getting our troops shot at for the sake a personal ambition as brutal as it is demagogic, dictatorial, and illegal.

This is on (a) the shooter, (b) Trump.

Residents of the Loop, Chicago’s downtown area, live on average until they are 87. In the West Garfield Park neighborhood, the average is 67. (via @wbez.org)
There’s a 20-year life expectancy gap in Chicago. Many of these deaths are preventable.
West Garfield Park residents are expected to live on average until 67 years old, compared to Loop residents living to age 87. This is widest death gap in Chicago and the biggest gap of any big U.S. city, the most recent data shows.

Last Thursday, a federal judge ruled that Trump’s deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., was illegal.

Today 2 National Guard soldiers are shot

Trump sends 500 more troops

Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.
