At 50:10, you can watch
@RepErikPaulsen’s questions. “Unfortunately Minnesota has not been able to escape the devastating effects of#opioid addiction.” He went on to tell the story of speaking with a mother who lost her son to addiction. https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/hearings-calendar?ID=352D21CA-477D-4582-BE82-734CB29A520A …6回复 1 转推 0 喜欢显示这个主题帖 -

@RepLaHood also addressed the importance of working together as a large bipartisan effort similar to that which was so successful against drunk driving in Illinois, especially the importance of holding people accountable.pic.twitter.com/hvtu6Hzhl45回复 1 转推 6 喜欢显示这个主题帖

Really depressing. Graphs show this a 45+ year old problem, yet that politician talked about MS-13 targeting young people. Ultimately these "deaths of despair" are part of a larger economic abandonment of the lower middle class... No jobs, no hope, nothing left to live for...
