Senator Van Hollen’s commitment to the Abrego Garcia case isn’t performative. Wearing an overnight maxi pad on your ear after an “assassination attempt” is performative.

3/ What’s more, the algorithm removes humans almost entirely from the decision-making process.
If TIGER gives a prisoner a moderate or high risk rating, they are automatically barred from pleading their case before the parole board.

2/ The algorithm, called TIGER, focuses on immutable factors from a prisoner’s past — work history, age at first arrest, prior drug convictions — to assess risk of reoffending.
Yet it fails to take into account anything a prisoner has done to rehabilitate themselves.

When elected officials see mass protests and then immediately adjust their behavior in response, that is a good thing. That's how this should work!
Celebrate Blumenthal for this. And then ask your own Dem senator what they're doing. And what Schumer is doing.

Breaking: Sen. Richard Blumenthal says he plans to place a hold on ALL Trump nominees going forward.
This will force Republicans to hold individual votes to override each hold, which will severely slow down their agenda.

Do you know what happens when we cannot harvest crops in this country, due to mass deportation of farm workers? Grocery stores will buy their food from out of this country and charge you more. Farmers, consumers and rural communities will be who suffer. Grocery Store Corps will increase profit.

There is no greater compliment for an author than being asked to sign a book that is just WRECKED. Binding cracked. Pages curled. Finger grooves in the edges. A book that has been read to death, and is still a prized possession.
