Today, I'm 8 years clean and sober. My name is Tom and I'm a grateful recovering heroin and fentanyl addict. Recovery gave me a new life full of faith, hope and love. I now understand what gratitude means. Thank you all and thank you God.

Imagine, Tim Walz went from being a heartbeat away from POTUS to being a forever tainted Governor who allowed one of the biggest fraud scandals to flourish on his watch but was too afraid to say anything because "racism."
JUST IN: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz admits he β€œshould have done more” to stop rampant fraud in state programs, but says the scandal shouldn’t define his legacy.

Heading home from Calgary πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦. Recovery is alive and well up here. The Alberta model and #ROSC are transforming this province and building Recovery Capital. Here's a pic of me with one of the architects of Recovery Alberta, Marshall Smith. @ABDanielleSmith

I'm just gonna say this: Bilal understands how the drug markets work in the Tenderloin. Providing data on day vs. night activity is actually really smart. @DanielLurie @mattdorsey @kunalmodi
Same block. Different city after dark. By day, parts of the Tenderloin look like any other SF street. At night, the drug market comes back, and the 3,500 kids who live here still can't walk home safely. We're making real progress. The drug market during the day has largely dissipated. Overdose deaths are down and SFPD and the DA's office are arresting more dealers than ever. But we won't truly shut the market down at night until we're honest about what's left. Over the next few weeks I'm breaking down the data: where the market operates, what's working, what isn't, and why it's still so hard to get people into treatment. Part 1 soon.

"Safe Injection Sites are not a solution to the drug crisis. Instead, they're a cornerstone of a social justice movement..." Well said, @Twolfrecovery πŸ‘
Do Safe Injection Sites actually help? Does the data support it? According to a study published in March of 2026, not necessarily. This is Kym Kaufmann, CEO of @RecovExcel explaining the study and it's findings out of Alberta πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Let's unpack. 🧡onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

The Mayor of San Jose and hopefully a future governor has more spine than almost everyone in a leadership position in the Democratic party in California. He knows criminal justice reform and "harm reduction" have gone too far.
Replying to @MattMahanSJ
At some point, intervention has to mean more than processing the next case and sending someone back out. If it's clear someone isn't rehabilitated, they need to do more time. And if their issue is stemming from a serious addiction or mental health issue, they need treatment.Β (3/4)

Gil Duran couldn't handle working for Kamala Harris, got booted from the SF Examiner, and got banned from Twitter. Emily Mills is San Francisco’s local nut and conspiracy theorist. This is clown level stuff. Even for San Francisco. πŸ€£πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€‘

🚨BREAKING: Study shows "safe injection sites", a place where people can bring illegal drugs and use them under staff supervision, are NOT effective. This is a major blow to several major cities across the US who have attempted to legalize this.

Addiction specialist Tom Wolf is amazing-he is making a difference. Wish he could help Colorado but politically unfortunately won’t happen :(
If you want to know the truth about "homelessness" and the drug crisis and why the harm reductionists refuse to admit they might be wrong, listen to this. πŸ‘‡ @SaraCarterDC @ONDCP @samhsagov @SecKennedy @SecretaryTurner

CoRE is doing another study that will track results up to one year after the closure of the Red Deer Safe Injection Site. Data is finally emerging to debunk these sites and I'm grateful to the @ONDCP and @samhsagov in the U.S. for embracing recovery and treatment first.

Next up? Let's shut down the two Safe Injection Sites operating in violation of federal law in Harlem, NYC. The 1986 Anti-Drug Abuse Act prohibits these sites in the U.S. Not sure why @KathyHochul is allowing them in light of this new evidence. Read the study. know the truth.
