The simple fact is that 95% of incarcerated Americans will eventually be released. Our criminal justice system can and must do much more to prepare them for life after prison. 45.wh.gov/YSam9n



so damn weird to see something real and good coming from the white house.

Yeah but you know it’s an attempt to garner favor for the black vote in 2020 right? You don’t really think Trump gives a true shit about it do you?
 
and oh hey, even though Kim never denuclearized even a little bit, and even though Kim is refusing to give the US a full rundown of his nuclear facilities, Donnie is still gonna meet with him again.

Even though Trump is being played, dialogue is better than no dialogue at this point no?

that's so unfair to trump. can't you give him credit for anything?
 
McConnell hasn’t committed to bringing the prison reform bill to the floor though. He’s going to want something in return obviously. It’s not about doing what’s right, it’s all about political capital.

In a somewhat testy presser, Pelosi expresses confidence, pushes back at questions she won’t have votes to become speaker. I asked her how can she be so confident when 17 have signed a letter. “Have you seen the letter?” On Marcia Fudge, she said: “Come on in the water is warm.”



I know she's a hack but I kinda love her.
 
Maybe, just maybe with a divided Congress some horse trading can actually happen and some things can get done.

I loathe Pelosi but she is as smart politically as McConnell. It’s quite possible McConnell would eat someone else as speaker for breakfast. I get the times and the want of change on the left but there are deeper considerations at play here.
 
and even if she's a hack, she is still the major reason why both Obamacare and the Climate Change bill were able to be passed, so yeah she rules.

p.s. the US government is actively trying to cover for Saudi murdering a journalist. so much so that they were literally willing to sacrifice another person's life to do it.

Stunning new stat out of Ohio:

We already knew that Republicans got 12 of OH's 16 US House seats despite winning only 52% of total congressional vote.

But get this: Republicans also managed to hold supermajorities in the Ohio legislature despite LOSING the total state leg vote.
 
Michael avenatti arrested on domestic violence charges.

That should be enough to scuttle any presidential bid.

Normally.
