Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after.

But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.
RFK JR: ADD, ADHD, Tourette syndrome, Narcolepsy, Autism.. All of these are injuries that I never heard of when I was a kid.

I'm just a poor country political historian and not some big city media fella, but it *does* seem like a slightly big deal that the leader of the United States presented comically faked "evidence" in the Oval Office to justify his power to disappear ordinary people into a Central American prison?
Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Really need to get more facts around how Ackman was able to purchase 19% ownership in Hertz without filing. I can’t emphasize enough what a dark development it potentially is that Friends of Trump are no longer subject to our securities regulations and laws. Banana Republic stuff.

Stephen Miller lied about Abrego Garcia’s case-claiming SCOTUS said

“no district court can compel the president to exercise his..foreign powers”

Rubio says he can deport ANY alien, even for “EXPECTED beliefs”

Trump said “the home growns are next”

3/4. If we accept the idea that moving a person from one place to another undoes rights and disempowers the judiciary, we are endorsing the basic Nazism practice that enabled the killing of millions.

The Trump administration is saying that they can deny due process to anyone they want and deport them to dangerous foreign prisons.

This isn’t even Project 2025.

Trump administration contends it has no duty to return illegally deported man to US
The administration’s position suggests officials do not view the Supreme Court’s order as compelling them to seek Abrego Garcia’s return.

👇🎯 This stuff is the entire ballgame. And the fact that this hasn’t immediately ended this presidency is why none of us can seriously believe with certainty that the 2026/28 elections will be free, fair, & competitive. If 👇 goes unpunished, there is literally nothing a president cannot do.
If the government can pay a foreign state to imprison you and, in so doing, remove you from the protection of US law, the Constitution is worthless.

It's striking how much Trumpists hate what's made the United States great: immigration, trade, medical and scientific research, the rule of law, an enlightened patriotism, a willingness and ability to correct past injustices.

At the end of the day, Trumpism is Third Worldism.

So today, the Supreme Court told the President of the United States that he can't "accidentally" send people to an overseas prison and just leave them there.

I want you to think about what has to happen for us to get to this point.

Now: NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN RELEASED FROM CECOT.

As far as I'm concerned this raises the ante from concentration camp to extermination camp.

That's us. Here in Trump's USA, we are sending people to extermination camps. Period.

Own it.
