@gregolear.bsky.social does a fascinating job of following the money through one of Trump's pardons.

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.

It seems a discussion is in order of the Laken Riley Act that I happily voted against on the House floor today. It is a bill that served no purpose than to stir up anger. But let’s quickly review why:

We are asking Ukrainians to defeat the armies of Putin and Kim Jong Un. In their efforts to do so, Ukrainians helped bring down Assad. Ukrainian resistance is one of the most stunning military achievements in modern history.

Okay so here’s me walking on eggshells: Nancy Mace lied about a guy accosting her.

Share far and wide. Let’s see if she sues me for “defamation.” 😘😃
Nancy Mace, her arm in a sling, threatens the media on the Benny Johnson show: "I have a warning for any media outlet that says I wrongly, falsely accused this guy of physically accosting me, of assaulting me. That is defamation. So I would be walking on eggshells if I were you"

Here’s the reality.

No USAtty would have charged this case given the underlying facts. After a 5 year investigation the facts as discovered only made that clear

Had his name been Joe Smith the resolution would have been - fundamentally and more fairly - a declination

This is an extraordinary thread that is a great reminder of the impossible decisions that the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic required, and the benefits the lockdowns provided in allowing us to get on top of a virus that was spiraling out of control.

One more reason I am really glad to be living in IL right now.
ICYMI: Democratic governors are vowing to fight Trump's plans for mass deportations.

But only 2 of 23 states led by Dem governors — Oregon and Illinois — have comprehensive state laws barring sheriffs + local law enforcement from assisting ICE. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
Dem Governors Are Vowing To Fight Trump’s Mass Deportations. Most Aren’t Prepared.
Only two states have meaningful safeguards barring the transfer of undocumented people to ICE. Expect "shock and awe," warned one former ICE official.
