If someone is living on a sidewalk, talking to invisible people, wandering through traffic, or spiraling deeper into psychosis, government intervention is now treated like the "evil" thing to do. Activists, disability-rights groups, and this massive network of NGOs have spent decades arguing mental institutions should be used only in the rarest circumstances.

And the results of that disastrous agenda speak for themselves.

Cities all over America are drowning in homelessness, tent cities, violence, addiction, untreated mental illness, and public chaos. All while billions of taxpayer dollars flood into programs that "manage" the crisis rather than solve it.

It's one big giant grift.

But help is on the way.

It appears the Trump administration is ready to challenge one of the legal foundations behind this scam system.

In a new memorandum, the DOJ claims that federal disability laws have been stretched way beyond what Congress intended, and this is creating restrictions that make it harder for states to step in and help when people are suffering with severe mental illness.

If that argument holds, it could be one of the biggest shifts in mental health policy in decades.

Devon Kurtz:

Today, DOJ broke with 35 years of bad law.

Regarding the integration mandates of section 504 and Title II of the ADA, "the regulations are unlawful."

This is a shot across the bow for Olmstead and P&A groups that have weaponized it against state programs for the mentally ill.
