Is niacin related to ADHD somehow?

Had a relative say he was going to take it as a treatment for his ADHD and he'd read some articles. This relative is all over the place with legit ideas mixed with ones I don't think have the scientific backing. I thought about looking it up like I usually would and just felt tired (there are so many fake sites and articles about medical stuff to sift through...). But someone here maybe already researched it or has actual background on the subject? For all I know, this is a completely well known and mundane treatment for it.

U.S. citizen offered to show I.D. but was arrested by immigration officers in Cedar-Riverside

A Somali U.S. citizen, Mubashir, was arrested by federal immigration officers in Cedar-Riverside Tuesday during a mass enforcement.

In the video, a federal officer is seen putting Mubashir in a choke hold and forcing him onto his knees in the snow as he was on his way to get food. Mubashir said he told officers multiple times that he is a U.S. citizen and asked if he could show them his I.D. Officers ignored him, dragged him in the snow and pushed him into a car as witnesses yelled and blew whistles, according to the video of his arrest.

Video purportedly showed two federal agents pulling the woman out of Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center at 2550 W. Addison St. about 7 Wednesday morning.

At a rally Wednesday evening at Northcenter Town Square, elected officials voiced frustration with immigration enforcement in the city. Ald. Matt Martin (47th) said the parents from the school had arranged legal representation for Galeano, though they were unsure where she had been taken.

“If ever you feel despair in the coming days, look around you,” Martin said. “There were four [federal agents], but there are hundreds of us. ”

'The helpers need help'. Food banks brace for impact as SNAP cliff looms.

Food banks have already been contending with higher food prices and increased need. Administrators say demand will skyrocket if federal nutrition benefits stop in a few days because of the government shutdown.

"The average household that we see receives about $350 per month, which roughly translates to about $44 million worth of SNAP benefits that will be gone from families," she told NPR. "There is no way that we alone can make up for a $44 million food budget shortfall."

[Article] Who Goes Nazi? by Dorothy Thompson

Published August 1941:

It is an interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one’s acquaintances: to speculate who in a showdown would go Nazi. By now, I think I know. I have gone through the experience many times—in Germany, in Austria, and in France. I have come to know the types: the born Nazis, the Nazis whom democracy itself has created, the certain-to-be fellow-travelers. And I also know those who never, under any conceivable circumstances, would become Nazis.

I've read and reread this a few times over the years.
