Dear U.S. Politicians (the sane and humane ones):
Your New Year’s resolutions must include your plans for (1) undoing the damage and (2) governing.
And for God’s sake be BOLD about it.

Hey question:
Have any of the police leadership that sat outside of Uvalde during the shooting been held to account?
Good guys with guns

So! We’re spending tons of money striking terror cells in Nigeria - which flourished because of the (far less expensive) cutoff of US Aid.
Got it.

For those asking about sentencing, the 1505 charge carries a 5-year maximum, but Judge Dugan's guideline sentence will be much lower, because she's a first-time offender & there are mitigating factors. And of course, there will be an appeal before the conviction becomes final.

This is getting lost: For weeks Trump officials had the option to remove Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica, but refused to do so. Instead they kept trying to send him somewhere more dangerous. Costa Rica wasn't cruel and dehumanizing enough.
This is deeply sick conduct.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

So the Senate won’t commit to a healthcare vote. Which will be at the peril of so many in the MAGA base.

After ingesting far more of CNN’s News Night with Abby Phillip than I should have, I have only one conclusion: the difference between magats and Democrats is that the magats are so - so -
