Magistrate judge says alleged WHCD attacker being mistreated by DC jail - POLITICO
Faruqui, who played a role in hundreds of cases stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, said Allen was being treated more harshly than those defendants, despite similar allegations of political violence aimed at members of Congress and government leaders. Those defendants were housed in a less restrictive wing of the jail known as the Central Treatment Facility, he noted, and were given significant accommodations during their detention...

The Churn (Reveal podcast)
People who experience psychosis often cycle through homelessness, emergency rooms, and jail. What happened to America’s mental health system?
Adam Aurand spent nearly a decade of his life stuck in a loop.
He cycled for years among emergency rooms, psychiatric hospitals, jails, and the streets in and around Seattle. During that time, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and schizoaffective disorder. He also used opioids and methamphetamine.
Each time he entered an institution for care or incarceration, he was released back into homelessness. And the cycle started again.
“I don’t know what the answer is, but I know that wasn’t the answer,” said his mother, Heidi.
In 2023, when Aurand was discharged from Washington’s largest psychiatric hospital and dropped off on the streets of downtown Seattle, she made a last-ditch effort to interrupt this pattern. This week on Reveal, with reporters from the Lost Patients podcast by KUOW and the Seattle Times, Aurand’s mother shares her attempts to save her son from “the churn” and the forces that pulled him back in.
This churn has contributed to the rising visibility of people in mental health crises on the streets of US cities. It’s fed a political narrative that American cities have fallen into chaos and decay. And it’s powered efforts from New York to California to add psychiatric hospital beds and make it easier to institutionalize people against their will.

Liz Cheney blasts Donald Trump's threat to jail Jan. 6 committee members
Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), another staunch Trump critic, didn't seem so worried about Trump's threat. In an interview Sunday, he said he has "absolutely no worries" about being jailed by the president-elect.
"First off, the executive branch can't go after the legislative branch because we embarrassed him. That's not a sin, that's not against the law," Kinzinger said, later adding, "So, look, he's all butt hurt right now because he was embarrassed. He's not going to come after us, and I'm not worried about it at all."…

SHOCK Video: Trump’s Biggest Donors Wanted Him Jailed. Called Him “Maniac”, “scumbag“
The most influential of the MAGA Tech Set has been two hosts of the All-In podcast: long-time Republican David Sacks and Trumpy convert Chamath Palihapitiya. They are joined on the podcast by Jason Calacanis (who has become Trump-curious) and token Democrat David Friedberg. When did they become MAGA converts? More specifically, what did they think of Trump after his darkest, most horrifying moment: January 6th? The answer is that their disgust was palpable, maybe even more radical than what we were publishing here at The Bulwark, online home of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Donald Trump calls for jail sentence for burning American flags
"Now, people will say, 'Oh, it's unconstitutional.' Those are stupid people. Those are stupid people that say that," the former president continued. "We have to work in Congress to get a one-year jail sentence. When they're allowed to stomp on the flag and put lighter fluid on the flag and set it afire, when you're allowed to do that — you get a one-year jail sentence, and you'll never see it again."
