Did you use @5calls.org last time around to tell your Congresscritters to #RESIST?

It makes the calling process SO much easier.

Called my Gov, both Senators, my Rep, and my State Legislators re: opposing Trump nominations, reducing gun violence, opposing deportations, and protecting trans-rights.

Breaking: According to Minneapolis police, two children — ages 8 and 10 — have been killed in the church shooting.

14 children and three adults injured.

Minneapolis mayor Frey: "Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying."

I was extremely relieved to see this post, as I’d been afraid that Kilmar Abrego Garcia had been killed. But he needs to be brought back to the U.S. & given his due process rights. Keep up the pressure! I’m glad the courts are confronting FOTUS about their flouting of the law & the Constitution.

We sure do.

Yet, when I diagnose a kid this is always a parent question I get about meds.

No. Stimulant treatment does not increase risk for addiction.

Know what does?

Untreated ADHD.

There’s an awful NYT article about ADHD going around. I’m not going to signal boost it, but I want to say one thing: Raising the specter of “addiction” with regard to people with ADHD using stimulants always makes me laugh. Most of us have trouble even remembering to take and refill our medications.

"The Defendants' act of sending Abrego Garcia to El Salvador was wholly illegal from the moment it happened, and Defendants have been on notice of the same. ... [The] suggestion that they need time to meaningfully review a four-page Order that reaffirms this basic principle blinks at reality."
First, the Defendants' act of sending Abrego Garcia to El Salvador was wholly illegal from the moment it happened, and Defendants have been on notice of the same. Indeed, as the Supreme Court credits, "the United States acknowledges that Abrego Garcia was subject to a withholding order forbidding his removal to El Salvador, and that the removal to El Salvador was therefore illegal." Noem v. Abrego Garcia, 604 U.S. _ (2025), Slip Op. at 1. Second, the Defendants' suggestion that they need time to meaningfully review a four-page Order that reaffirms this basic principle blinks at reality. Third, the Defendants misconstrue the Supreme Court's Order stating that the original deadline at ECF No. 21 is "no longer effective," as somehow suggesting that the Court's amended Order requiring prompt attention to this matter is "inconsistent" with the Supreme Court's directive. Nothing could be further from the truth. As the Supreme Court plainly stated, "the Government should be prepared to share what it can concerning the steps it has taken and the prospect of further steps," Slip Op. at 2- all against the backdrop of this Court's needing to "ensure that the Government lives up to its obligations to follow the law." Id. at 4 (Sotomayor, J., concurring).
