I just exercised my right as a Member of Congress to conduct an unannounced oversight visit of the ICE field facility in Baltimore. The staff I met with respected my right to visit, but what I saw was disgraceful. Kristi Noem has a budget of $75 billion she could use to ensure humane conditions, but we saw 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder, 24-hours-a-day, with a single toilet in the room and no shower facilities. They sleep like sardines with aluminum foil blankets. Whether it’s for three days or seven days, nobody would want a member of their family warehoused there. The room set aside for dangerous criminals and violent offenders was empty. We’re demanding immediate answers and action.
Just saw photos and quotes on the homepage of The New York Times from people on why they support their candidate.

Instead of dismantling the deep state Trump tried to create one. He will try again.
“..an executive order from Trump’s first term that redesignated 20,000 civil servants in policy-related positions..”, as political appointees.
Do you agree @gtconway3d?

We weren’t paying attention to the people who warned us the first time around. Are the American people really going to enable a second attempt at undermining our country?

More incredible research coming out of the @RBarrientosLab team.
#JNeurosci: Using an aging rat model to examine the effects of abdominal surgery & morphine on memory, @MuscatSteph @RBarrientosLab et al. @OhioState found that TLR4 is a key factor in the development of post-operative cognitive dysfunction.

Why do airlines lie to us? The plane was at the gate on time and we’re still sitting here more than 45 minutes after we were scheduled to leave.
Seriously, why?

Yes! Every dog I’ve ever played ball with 🤣
This is Hank. He would like you to throw his ball. But also do not take it from him. It's a simple request. 12/10
ALT a black lab puppy stands on a concrete deck with a tennis ball held out the corner of his mouth. his tail crooks up and to the right, and one of his back feet is turned inward. he’s looking up at you with patient, soulful eyes, because he doesn’t understand how you don’t get this game yet.
Take note of @HawleyMO’s response to Biden’s speech. It’s a perfect example of the problem Biden was talking about - responding to a criticism with lies and accusations.
Joe Biden’s hate-filled and menacing rhetoric tonight was disgraceful. His behavior is increasingly erratic. And his threats against half the country - his fellow citizens - are dangerous
This didn’t age well…
Here's a thought. Let's base our view on whether 1/6 was an "insurrection" on whether those arrested are charged with insurrection. So far, none has been. wsj.com/articles/capitol-rio…

Excited to share our new paper led by @michaelbutler91 showing a processed diet (high in low quality carbs & low in fiber) impairs hipp & amyg memory & increases neuroinflammation in aged rats. DHA supplementation completely ameliorated these effects. 👇👇authors.elsevier.com/a/1ddt8…
“Progress is never a result of scientific discovery alone. It also requires other forces: crusading journalism, activism, politics.” - In truth, very little is accomplished alone. Achievement requires support, communication, and community.
