I’m so old my kids are old. I’m old enough to remember when everybody had friends in both parties (there were only 2) + everybody was nice to your face. I live in a dry cabin in a forest in Alaska + love it. I block stupid and it followed us here.

Ever notice how the least respected people in the world, like Jeanine Pirro and her pedo felon mentor Trump, can't stop referring to themselves as "highly respected? 🤔

Like I said treat for depression before allowing. If getting GOOD therapy and meds or other treatments don’t work out societies can afford to make people’s lives easier and more pleasant. It doesn’t take much. Adult day health does wonders. Meals on wheels etc does also. Volunteer visitors help.

3: All of the things I believe in the abstract (cases of incurability, irreversibility) get so messy if/when extending MAID to mental illness. So does bodily autonomy when "suicidality" and "a firm belief that one's condition is hopeless" are core symptoms of a mental illness.

I’d call that abuse unless said to access if the person was contemplating suicide.

This administration is working hard on their shell game. "Where's the Epstein files now?" Anything to distract the public from the most recent administrative disaster, then on to the next blunder. They're like an amateur juggler pelting the audience with bowling pins.

Essentially, Reyes is teasing out from DC's lawyer, Reich, on the extent of what DC is going to agree Trump (and/or Bondi) can order affirmatively under the Home Rule Act provision that lets Trump temporarily get the "services" of DC police.

Reyes is doing an excellent job of detailing—and getting Roth to respond to—the limited nature of the Home Rule Act exception and how Bondi’s order goes beyond that by rescinding/suspending MPD policies.

Roth claims Bondi’s order is intended to “further implementationalize” the executive order.

"The statute would have no meaning at all" if it did allow the president to "take control" of the police department, Reyes tells Roth.

This is what she's referring to: code.dccouncil.gov/us/dc/counci...
