“It’s interesting that nobody was worried about defunding education 30 years ago, or defunding public health, or defunding mental health,” says @GeorgeGascon. “But now that we’re talking about right-sizing the criminal justice system…some people are getting all upset.”

L.A.'s new reformist DA, @GeorgeGascon, faced opposition from police unions, but “I think it's important to separate police unions from police leadership and police officers in the field,” he says, adding: “I believe that reform and public safety actually work well together.”

“A number of people sat on the fence in 2016 because they felt the president may have been racist,” explains @TheOtherMandela “But he showed himself to be racist and incompetent & he got 11 million new votes. That should scare us all.”

“Republicans will be coming out for blood” in the 2022 midterm elections, @TheOtherMandela warns Mehdi, “because their savior in Donald Trump has fallen. We should have a lot to be worried about.”

Mehdi: “Given more than 3,700 people have died in Wisconsin from Covid, how many more could die in this coming winter if Republicans keep blocking basic health measures in your state?”
@TheOtherMandela: “Far too many. That's the answer.”

There was the Four Seasons Total Landscaping debacle. The hair-dye (?) brouhaha. And the kraken catastrophe.
But the Trump legal team’s Michigan hearing yesterday left no doubt which way the wind blows.

You know about Trump's false election claims. But now, local candidates who lost in landslides are borrowing his playbook.
Mehdi introduces you to the failed mayoral candidate whose lawsuit led a voting-rights attorney to say: "I'm not sure even Rudy Giuliani would touch this."

"Is it fair to say...the vast majority of these people didn't need to die?"
"That's very fair to say," says @angie_rasmussen. "Other countries without a vaccine have managed to successfully control this... it spread so widely in the US... because of failures of leadership."

It's "really exciting" that Deb Holland, a Native American, may run Biden's Interior Dept., says @jnoisecat: Interior manages lands that "were taken from indigenous peoples," plus "the nation-to-nation relationship with the 574 federally recognized tribes across the country."

Few Americans know the U.S. funds war, and a humanitarian crisis, in Yemen. "But the people of Yemen know this is a war on them," says @shireen818. "They see the weapons dropping with 'Made In America' signs... It's important for us here to realize that this is done in our name."

“Congressman Crenshaw said ‘the integrity of elections must be self-evident…’ That's a great idea. And I know exactly where he can start: his own ridiculously gerrymandered district.” Mehdi takes on the election-rigging tactic that Republicans *aren’t* talking about:

What happened to Michael Flynn? "Someone like this, as they gather power, reveals who they are, rather than changes who they are," says @attackerman. Now, "He's talking about suspending the Constitution. If that isn't beyond the pale, there is no pale."

Trump biographer @TimOBrien is convinced POTUS will try to pardon himself and his family if he can.
"People who have a conscience and people who regret things," he says, "are the kind of people who are torn by decision-making. Donald Trump isn't torn by any of this."
