Psychiatrists call for RFK Jr. to be replaced as health secretary
Two groups are calling for new leadership at HHS after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s actions on substance abuse treatment and mental health medications, among other issues.
"RFKJr is trying to eliminate the agency responsible for supporting states & localities w/ overdose prevention," says Dr. Eric Rafla-Yuan.
The doctors are also concerned about his attacks on psychiatric medications.
Let's not forget that he's a fan of viruses, too.

Opinion | Six surgeons general: Itβs our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr.
We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. Weβre doing that again today.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children
Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.
Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.
Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesnβt have to be the Speaker).

Notice of Zoning Violation on official City of Portland letterhead
I dunno if I'm the last one to hear about this? But the reason the president is sending the *National Guard* to Portland is because the city mailed the government's landlord...a zoning violation notice?
They are sending in the troops to avoid "a monthly code enforcement fee"??

GOP leaders point to Capitol Police missed paychecks as shutdown drags on
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and House Administration Committee Chair Bryan Steil (R-Wis.) are directing attention to looming missed pay for Capitol Police officers at the end of this week, a new tβ¦
The Democrats gave in during the March "almost shutdown." Republicans went on to pass a Medicaid cut and refused to extend the subsidies for ACA. Now, the Democrats must play hardball to ensure the ACA doesn't see premiums increase dramatically for hard-working people. thehill.com/homenews/554...
